My, I Felt This Thrill Going Up

I Have Never Heard A President In Bad Times Running Against - Let's Face It, That's What He's Doing Here - Running Against Bad Times, When He's The Presiding Officer.

Pope John Paul Ii Himself Was Kind Of A Rather Independent, Creative Man. I Remember Being Told By Somebody Who Worked Very Close With Him In Preparation For His First Visit To The United States In 1979, He Studied Our Normative Documents, Declaration Of Independence, The Federalist Papers, The Constitution. And He Was Amazed. He Called His Priests First Thing In The Morning And He Said, He Said, I Thought America Was A Pagan Country.

I`m Surprised People Are That Hopeful About What Government Can Do, Because If You Believe In Socialism, Society Can Run A Pretty Decent Government, It Can Provide Services, It Can Regulate The Economy Effectively.

I Think, Internally, We Catholics Have Known This For A Long Time. I Think We're Just Thrilled And Grateful That The Rest Of The World Now Is Sharing In The Esteem And Gratitude That We've Had For Pope John Paul Ii For 26 And A Half Years.

The Fact That Younger People Are More Inclined To Socialism May Well Come With The Fact That So Many Young People's First Experience With Capitalism Is As A Debtor.
