world united-states economic
There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States.
motivational god freedom
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
leadership strong responsibility
It was leadership here at home that gave us strong American influence abroad, and the collapse of imperial Communism. Great nations have responsibilities to lead, and we should always be cautious of those who would lower our profile, because they might just wind up lowering our flag.

The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.

Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
giving-up men hands
There are those, of course, who claim we must give up freedom in exchange for economic progress. Well, pardon me, but anyone trying to sell you that line is no better than a three-card-trick man.

The price of freedom may be high, but never so costly as the loss of freedom.

I'm proud of having been one of the first to recognize that states and the federal government have a duty to protect our natural resources from the damaging effects of pollution that can accompany industrial development.
men rights july
Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people. We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should. Happy Fourth of July.
