Elvis epitomised America, and for that we shall be eternally grateful. There will never be anyone else like him. Let's all rejoice in his music.

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

The one thing our Founding Fathers could not foresee - they were farmers, professional men, businessmen giving of their time and effort to an idea that became a country - was a nation governed by professional politicians who had an interest in getting re-elected. They probably envisioned a fellow serving a couple of hitches and then eagerly looking forward to getting back to the farm.

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

There was a time when "sound as a dollar" was a description, not a joke.

Let us renew our faith that as free men and women we still have the power to better our lives.

Love your country, not for her power or wealth, but for her selflessness and her idealism.
