But we know that freedom cannot be served by the devices of the tyrant.

In Washington's day the task of the people was to create and weld together a nation. In Lincoln's day the task of the people was to preserve that Nation from disruption from within. In this day the task of the people is to save that Nation and its institutions from disruption from without.

Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love. All that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear.
