Political Quotes

“America was faced with a gutless, cowardly attack yesterday. Innocent people were murdered in cold blood--America was awakened to a new type of warfare. A type of warfare that was unfathomable to decent God-fearing people around the world. Yet, as in the past, once awakened, together as a people, we will rise up in defense of democracy, rise up in defense of liberty. America was also awakened to its lost patriotism, a patriotism that we drifted away from because of the security and prosperity this great land of freedom has enjoyed so long. We are a peaceful people--but we will not turn the other cheek. No one should doubt our resolve. As President Bush said, not only those individuals in this evil should be targeted, but countries who support these people and these acts must and will be punished. It is sickening to me to see pictures of people celebrating the deaths of innocent Americans. It is heartening to me to see the pictures of the heroes during this opening shot of war--those who helped others--firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses, paramedics--the list goes on and on. And ultimately, that is the list that will win this war. While we mourn the growing list of victims--we must celebrate the growing list of heroes. Those are the ones who will win this war. I pray for the victims and their families. I pray for our Commander-in-Chief. I pray that justice will be ours.”
