if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.

And Senator Clark of Pennsylvania, another articulate spokesman, defines liberalism as "meeting the material needs of the masses through the full power of centralized government."

"the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize.

A government can't control the economy without controlling people.

They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.

Every responsible farmer and farm organization has repeatedly asked the government to free the farm economy, but how -- who are farmers to know what's best for them?

For three decades, we've sought to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning, and the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.

What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the -- or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property?

And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us.

We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters."

Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one."
