GREATER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge - and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom - and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required - not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

Who said those words? Ronald Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr.? No. It was none other than the only half-way decent Democratic President, and Ted "Murdering Lush" Kennedy's brother, John F. Kennedy in his 1961 inaugural address. They kind of make you think. What's happened to this country. People use to stand behind our troops. Not anymore. There are Americans out there right now who are happy because our troops are being killed. They would love nothing more than for our efforts in Iraq to fail. Kennedy said,
"we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty"

But Ted Kennedy is calling this Vietnam. Why? Does he not agree with the word of his own brother? The man Democrats hold as the greatest president of 20th Century. It took us four years to rebuild Germany after WWII. That's four years we "occupied" the country. We've been in Iraq for just a little over a year. Do these people truly believe we should be pulling out now? If they do, they're dumber than I ever could have imagined. Pay any price, bear any burden. We're American's, that's our job. For better or for worse, we're the police of the world. Think of us as the big brother. If you need us, we'll be there.

The Only Thing Necessary For Evil To Triumph
Is For Good Men To Do Nothing
