Political Quotes

“Mr. President, in our open society, which is our national heritage and the essence of America, we cannot deny our enemies many of the same freedoms we ourselves enjoy. There are, as well, many foreign interests, some secret, that will want to promote and publicize their existence and goals through outrageous acts of blatant terrorism and destruction. We know this is happening. Indiscriminate killing of women and children is enough to tear at your heart strings. What better stage could be set for these enemies than a trainload or a truckload of the most hazardous material known to man, clearly and predictably moving through our free and open society. Think of the train wreck that occurred in a remote area of Arizona. A man went there--they think they know who it is, but there has been no arrest made--and put something on the track to cause the train to go off the track. The train went head over heels, killing people, causing all kinds of damage to the load that was on the train. Mr. President, this happens all over the country, and with nuclear waste being carried, certainly I think there will have to be some way to identify the nuclear waste.”
