“if I could amplify that, I want to be frank and open and honest with respect to the political realities of this. Republicans and conservatives around the country cannot afford to stand by and abandon the field to our friends on the left on this topic. We cannot stand silent and allow those who are the advocates, the Democrats in America, the liberals in America, the advocates of greater government control, greater bureaucracy, a government-managed economy; we cannot allow those advocates to somehow gain the upper hand in controlling America's economy predicated upon the crimes of just a few. These are very, very serious incidents that have occurred throughout the country, and we need to take the moral high ground as the Republican Party. I would really urge all of our colleagues to come duplicate this Special Order and hold their own, to hold more hearings here in Congress. I think we desperately need that. I would encourage our friends throughout the country who care about these issues and who believe a conservative viewpoint in America is essential and is superior of that of the left, to write letters, to get on radio talk shows, to be as forceful and vocal as they possibly can within the political context of America. This is an issue that conservatives ought to resolve.”
