Anybody have full text of the speech, rather than a bunch of cherry-picked quotes?

I was suprised at Gingriches level of paranoia.
Time for America to decide what it wants so it seems. We can either take the pricipled position and take a hit or we can become less "American" and give more power to the government to protect us. Personally, I think we should stick with what got us here. Even it its my town to go up in a mushroom cloud. At least the rest of America can "martyr" us and defend our existing principles. Deviating from our principles is what got us here. Constant wars in foreign lands got us here. Bush had a rare opportunity after 911. Had he ruled as he ran America would be a powerful force for good today. Unfortunately, he played it as if he was following bin laden's script.

Far more people died because they were afraid to fly, post 9/11, due to increased travel on the roads, than in all terrorist attacks against the US combined, foreign soil included.

That was Benjamin Franklin.
Good quote and impulse though. (everything else is TJ) "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 |
