More From Dan Rather

As a conservative who believes in limited government, i believe the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press. a free press ensures the flow of information to the public, and let me say, during a time when the role of government in our lives and in our enterprises seems to grow every day--both at home and abroad - ensuring the vitality of a free and independent press is more important than ever.
Real Believe Home
We say that if america has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in america. how else is the world to take america seriously, when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform; when free press is curtailed and every independent opinion gagged? verily, poor as we are in democracy, how can we give of it to the world?

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.
Country Freedom Fighting
Without a free press there can be no free society. that is axiomatic. however, freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of a free society. the scope and nature of the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press are to be viewed and applied in that light.

Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.
Spiritual Morning Heart
With patient and firm determination, i am going to press on for jobs. i'm going to press on for equality. i'm going to press on for the sake of our children. i'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. i don't have time to feel sorry for myself. i don't have time to complain. i am going to press on.

The reason i can be 38 and have two kids and wear a bikini is because i work my ass off. it's not an accident. it's not luck, it's not fairy dust, it's not good genes. it's killing myself for an hour and a half five days a week, but what i get out of it is relative to what i put into it.
