How can we not believe in the greatness of America? How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on Earth? After all our struggles to restore America, to revive confidence in our country, hope for our future - after all our hard-won victories earned through the patience and courage of every citizen - we cannot, must not, and will not turn. We will finish our job. How could we do less? We're Americans.

May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.

Nations do not distrust each other because they are armed. They are armed because they distrust each other.

Our nation was built and civilized by men and women who used guns in self-defense and in pursuit of peace. One wonders indeed, if the rising crime rate, isn't due as much as anything to the criminal's instinctive knowledge that the average victim no longer has means of self-protection.

We are a nation that has a government-not the other way around. And that makes us special among the nations of the earth.

What is important is that one strives to achieve a goal.

You can't be for big government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy.
