There is nothing patriotic about
hating your country, or pretending that you can love your country but
despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your
back on America, or ignoring your own responsibilities.
~ Bill
Clinton,
May 5, 1995
"Congressmen who willfully take
actions during wartime that damage
morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested,
exiled, or hanged."
~ President
Abraham Lincoln
"It is the soldier, not the
reporter, who has given us
freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has
given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the
flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the
flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag."
~Admiral
Jeremiah Denton
"We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands
which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity
forget that ye were our countrymen."
~ Samuel Adams,
speech at the Philadelphia State House [now called Independence Hall],
August 1, 1776
"Experience proves that the man
who obstructs a war in which his
nation is engaged, no matter whether right or wrong, occupies no
enviable place in life or history. Better for him, individually, to
advocate 'war, pestilence, and famine' than to act as obstructionist to
a war already begun.... The most favorable posthumous history the
stay-at-home traitor can hope for is -- oblivion."
~ Ulysses S.
Grant, Personal Memoirs
"The tree of Liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
~ Thomas Jefferson
"A democracy cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters
discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with
the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy,
always followed by a dictatorship."
~
Alexander Tyler
"We, the members of the New
Republican Party, believe that the
preservation and enhancement of the values that strengthen and protect
individual freedom, family life, communities and neighborhoods and the
liberty of our beloved nation should be at the heart of any legislative
or political program presented to the American people."
~ Ronald Wilson
Reagan (1911 - 2004)
"America has been in too many wars
for any of our wishes,
but not a one of them was won by being sensitive."
~ Vice President,
Dick Cheney
"My fellow immigrants, my fellow
Americans how do you know if you are a
Republican? I'll tell you how.
If you believe that government should
be accountable to the people, not
the people to the government...then you are a Republican! If you
believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of
an interest group... then you are a Republican! If you believe your
family knows how to spend your money better than the government does...
then you are a Republican! If you believe our educational system should
be held accountable for the progress of our children ... then you are a
Republican! If you believe this country, not the United Nations, is the
best hope of democracy in the world ... then you are a Republican! And,
ladies and gentlemen ...if you believe we must be fierce and relentless
and terminate terrorism ... then you are a Republican!
There is another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith
in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people
...and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so
pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie men!"
~ Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger
August 31, 2004
“The terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, were acts of war against the United States of
America, its
allies, friends, and against the very idea of civilized society. No
cause justifies terrorism. The world must
respond and fight this evil that is intent on threatening and
destroying our basic freedoms and our way of
life. Freedom and fear are at war. The enemy is not one person. It is
not a single political regime.
Certainly, it is not a religion. The enemy is terrorism.”
The National
Strategy for Combating Terrorism
February 2003
"Why, pray tell, are liberals who want
everyone to
be liberal considered moral and moderate, but Christians who want
everyone
to be Christian considered 'zealots' and 'bigots'?" —Dennis Prager
"Contemplate the mangled bodies of
your countrymen, and then say, 'What
should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better
than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest
of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit
lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen!"
~ Samuel Adams
FAMILY
"Families must continue to be the foundation of our
nation. Families—not government programs—are the best way to make
sure our children are properly nurtured, our elderly are cared for, our
cultural and spiritual heritages are perpetuated, our laws are observed
and our values are preserved. Thus it is imperative that our
government's
programs, actions, officials and social welfare institutions never be
allowed to jeopardize the family. We fear the government may be
powerful
enough to destroy our families; we know that it is not powerful enough
to replace them. The New Republican Party must be committed to working
always in the interest of the American family."
~ Ronald Reagan
The American's Creed
"I believe in the United States of America as a
Government of the
people by the people,
for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the
governed;
a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
a perfect Union,
one and inseparable; established upon those principls of freedom,
equality, justice,
and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to
support its
Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it
againest all
enemies."
