Compassionate conservative soft bigotry of low expectations.

What I really think is going to happen over time is technology is going to change the way we live for the good for the environment.

Our nation was horrified, but it's not going to be terrorized.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace. We know that oppressive governments support terror, while free governments fight the terrorists in their midst.

America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no one will keep that light from shining.

Freedom is the direction of history, because freedom is the permanent hope of humanity.
