god father thinking
It's been written that the most sublime figure in American history was George Washington on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge. He personified a people who knew that it was not enough to depend on their own courage and goodness, that they must also seek help from God - their Father and preserver. Where did we begin to lose sight of that noble beginning, of our conviction that standards of right and wrong do exist and must be lived up to? Do we really think that we can have it both ways, that God will protect us in a time of crisis even as we turn away from him in our day-to-day life?
military government classroom
If we get the federal government out of the classroom, maybe we'll get God back in.
baseball political pastime
Baseball is our national pastime, that is if you discount political campaigning.
philosophy liberty arbitrary
I have seen the rise of fascism and communism. Both philosophies glorify the arbitrary power of the state... But both theories fail. Both deny those God-given liberties that are the inalienable right of each person on this planet, indeed, they deny the existence of God.
dream war men
By 1980, we knew it was time to renew our faith, to strive with all our strength toward the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society. We believed then and now there are no limits to growth and human progress when men and women are free to follow their dreams.
war men omnipotence
[The Soviets] preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth; they are the focus of evil in the modern world.
dog mad goal
We know that this mad dog of the Middle East has a goal of a world revolution. (On Muammar Qaddafi of Libya)
running freedom home
In an ironic sense, Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis, a crisis where the demands of the economic order are conflicting directly with those of the political order. But the crisis is happening not in the . . . West, but in the home of Marxism-Leninism, the Soviet Union. It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history by denying human freedom and human dignity to its citizens.
compassion government rights
Respect for human rights is not social work; it is not merely an act of compassion. It is the first obligation of government and the source of its legitimacy.
government games hell
Free enterprise is a rough and competitive game. It is a hell of a lot better than a government monopoly.
russian-language language linguists
I'm no linguist, but I have been told that in the Russian language, there isn't even a word for freedom.
children scary classroom
God, the source of all knowledge, should never have been expelled from our children's classrooms.
men coercion capture
Coersion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him.
freedom talking two
Two Soviets . . . were talking to each other. And one of them asked, "What's the difference between the Soviet Constitution and the United States Constitution?" And the other one said, "That's easy. The Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of gathering. The American Constitution guarantees freedom after speech and freedom after gathering."
