Let us remember with devotion that the flag we love and honor is the flag of freedom that flew in victory at yorktown, the flag the united states marines raised on mount suribachi, the flag francis scott key saw by the dawn's early light. long may it wave.

We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. we cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. we cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.

"i claim india for britain!" they're going "you can't claim us, we live here! five hundred million of us!" "do you have a flag …? "no..."

In order to make the tough decisions we have to know what our values are and who we're fighting for and our priorities and if we are spending $300 billion on tax cuts for people who don't need them and weren't even asking for them, and we are leaving out health care which is crushing on people all across the country, then i think we have made a bad decision and i want to make sure we're not shortchanging our long term priorities.
