We Know That This Mad Dog Of

Government Is Never More Dangerous Than When Our Desire To Have It Help Us Blinds Us To Its Great Power To Harm Us.

Government's First Duty Is To Protect The People, Not Run Their Lives.

It Should Be The Right Of The Individual To Decide Whether He Wants To Belong To A Union.

Our Goal Is Peace. We Can Gain That Peace By Strengthening Our Alliances, By Speaking Candidly About The Dangers Before Us, By Assuring Potential Adversaries Of Our Seriousness, By Actively Pursuing Every Chance Of Honest And Fruitful Negotiation.

Our Enemies May Be Irrational, Even Outright Insane, Driven By Nationalism, Religion, Ethnicity Or Ideology. They Do Not Fear The United States For Its Diplomatic Skills Or The Number Of Automobiles And Software Programs It Produces. They Respect Only The Firepower Of Our Tanks, Planes And Helicopter Gunships.
