We will not surrender

On November 2nd, the people of this great country spoke to the world. We told them very clearly, "We are going to do what is right in defending freedom across the world, we don't care what you think about it."

There is no surer proof of the righteousness of this greatest nation on God's green earth than that we are so desperately hated by the corrupt and bloodthirsty nations of the world. Tolerance is an important part of a peaceful society, but it cannot be the foundation of it. Only strong and solid principles of right and truth, of moral and intellectual clarity, and a desire by all to do what is best, not for themselves, but for others.

"Ask not what your country can do for you -- Ask what you can do for your country" (John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961)
