To Me, The Presidency And The Vice-presidency

My Goal Is For A Cooperative World At Peace, Using Its Resources To Build, Not To Destroy.

A Strong Defense Is The Surest Way To Peace. Strength Makes Detente Attainable. Weakness Invites War, As My Generation - My Generation - Knows From Four Very Bitter Experiences. Just As America's Will For Peace Is Second To None, So Will America's Strength Be Second To None. We Cannot Rely On The Forbearance Of Others To Protect This Nation. The Power And Diversity Of The Armed Forces, Active Guard And Reserve, The Resolve Of Our Fellow Citizens, The Flexibility In Our Command To Navigate International Waters That Remain Troubled Are All Essential To Our Security.

Sit Down Before Facts As A Little Child, Be Prepared To Give Up Every Preconceived Notion — Or You Shall Learn Nothing.

My Commitment To The Security And Future Of Israel Is Based Upon Basic Morality As Well As Enlightened Self-interest. Our Role In Supporting Israel Honors Our Own Heritage.

The Declaration [of Independence] Was Not A Protest Against Government, But Against The Excess Of Government. It Prescribed The Proper Role Of Government, To Secure The Rights Of Individuals And To Effect Their Safety And Happiness. In Modern Society, No Individual Can Do This Alone. So Government Is Not A Necessary Evil But A Necessary Good.
