Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.

There is today in the United States as much forest as there was when Washington was at Valley Forge

Today we have done what we had to do. If necessary, we shall do it again.

We're the party that wants to see an America in which people still can get rich

We in America have learned bitter lessons from two world wars: It is better to be here [in Europe] ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We've learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.

I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. We need God's help to guide our nation through stormy seas. But we can't expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him over on the shelf in our day-to-day living.
