Notable Quotes – Teddy Roosevelt

The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life. — Teddy Roosevelt

I know that he is right – I think that we are seeing, for the second time in 40 years, that the American Liberal elite want peace at any cost.  My calculus is that even if they succeed at repeating the defeat of Vietnam, it will be of only a temporary form – those that hate our way of life, our freedom, or insolence of not submitting to Allah (for "Islam" means submission) will not stop.  The Liberals do not understand how powerfully intertwined the political and religious aspects of Muslim fundamentalists. 

The cost will be far from the savings from a military  withdrawal….the cost of such a withdrawal will be immense….in the long term, perhaps at the cost of our freedom.
