“As an attorney, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation – they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.”

I love that.

Great speech. Inspiring. Reminds me of how I felt listening to President Reagan.

Given with a great deal of humility..something that seems to be lacking with most of the people in Govt..especially the Rats in Congress and the WH.
We don’t need any more Harvard and Yale lawyers..we need statesmen from the people.

There are so many great one-liners in his speech that it is difficult to pick out the better ones.

Thanks for the post.

This speech I believe will be one for the history books; it’ll come to be viewed as the historical launching of a great political career!

Bookmarked and saved for posterity!

This should be the Republican's rallying cry for this election, the 2010 elections and 2012 and beyond ...

WE THE PEOPLE!

Good line.

One I would like to hear from other Republicans this year.

Lt. Col Brown’s speech should be the blueprint for every candidate this Fall running against Rat traitors.

Operative Sentence: “We do not want a senator whose only question on health care is to ask Harry Reid, “How do you want me to vote?” Massachusetts wants real reform, and not this trillion-dollar Obama health care bill being forced on the American people.”

I don’t care who you are, that there is spot-on.

Agree - there is not one “oops” in the text. Wonder if he wrote it himself?

If he did - this augurs well for the measure of the man.

Love every phrase.

Agree wholeheartedly. Scott Brown for the Senate NOW, and hopefully a run for President somewhere down the line. Hope his good sense is contagious in the Senate. Are there any more at home like him?
