George W. Bush: “Homeland security, ladies and gentlemen, is not just a federal responsibility, it is a national responsibility.”

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

That is the America I know.

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

You will have an Almighty God to comfort you.
