Will Kirkpatrick
thinking government self
I think that it's always appropriate for Americans and for American foreign policy to make clear why we feel that self-government is most compatible with peace, the well-being of people, and human dignity
eyebrows wipe language
Just as the Russians and the Soviets didn't manage to wipe out languages in Lithuania, neither have they managed to wipe out religion to the extent that we had feared.
america firsts blame
They (american press) always blame America first!
government influence position
[The American position at the UN is] essentially impotent, without influence, heavily outvoted, and isolated.
character choices limits
Cultural constraints condition and limit our choices, shaping our characters with their imperatives.
taken president kicks
Mr. President, we've taken off our "Kick Me" sign.
thinking world expansion
And I think detente had manifestly failed, and that the pursuit of it was encouraging Soviet expansion and rendering the world more dangerous, and especially rendering the Western world in greater peril.
economy market-economy free-market
There is no pure free-market economy.
ostriches san-francisco world
When the San Francisco Democrats treat foreign affairs as an afterthought, as they did, they behaved less like a dove or a hawk than like an ostrich - convinced it could shut out the world by hiding its head in the sand.
malaise carter walter-mondale
It was not malaise we suffered from; it was Jimmy Carter - and Walter Mondale.
country numbers countries-of-the-world
That is simply that Marxism has been tremendously fashionable in our time, so it has infected a very large number of major institutions in many countries of the world. So I suppose that we shouldn't be too surprised that it should infect the church as well.
winning roles bread
Society has never barred women from bread-winning roles, but only from economic roles that are profitable and respectable.
real believe giving
The real point is that totalitarian regimes have claimed jurisdiction over the whole person, and the whole society, and they don't at all believe that we should give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's.
san-francisco issues unions
When the Soviet Union walked out of arms control negotiations, and refused even to discuss the issues, the San Francisco Democrats didn't blame Soviet intransigence. They blamed the United States.
