“President Obama was in New York earlier this week to memorialize Walter Cronkite, but he did not come to New York to memorialize 9/11.”
“CNN caused a national panic today to the two or three people watching their network, claiming that there was a terrorist incident near the Pentagon when Obama was there when it was just a Coast Guard exercise.”
“I want somebody out there who thinks Obama made a great speech today and Bloomberg echoing it, to call me today and I want you to tell me how it is that our fractured sense of community service led to the ‘crimes’ committed against us in New York and Washington and in Pennsylvania on 9/11. And I want to know from you how it is that rekindling this ‘spirit of community service,’ whatever the hell that means, is going to prevent the next attack on this country.”
“I often think of Todd Beamer when I think of 9/11. Todd Beamer and his Band of Brothers on Flight 93 loved their country; they fought bravely for it; they saw evil; they fearlessly dealt with it. On that day without notice or training they gave the full measure of devotion. They were every bit as heroic and necessary for the survival of America as any of our military fighting forces have been through the years, and that’s not to diminish anybody but to elevate both groups of people.”
“The manner in which Obama has chosen to commemorate 9/11 is an insult to the citizen warriors aboard Flight 93.”
“I can’t believe this. We’ve got an ongoing debate here about the lack of civility on the Republican Party when we’ve got eight years of some of the most demeaning, dispiriting, despicable filth that came out of the mouths of Democrats.”
“This is not a time to be caught up in the vagaries of civility and proper etiquette and decorum. We’re up against people who want to destroy the country, America, as it was founded, and replace it with something else.”
“When brave Americans sacrificed their lives so the rest of us can live and live free, I think of the Gettysburg Address, I think the history of the Gettysburg Address, what went into Abraham Lincoln writing it and how, at the time, underappreciated it was and how he was a little insecure about it himself after he had written it.”
“I’ve talked about the fact that we’re two or three countries today. I have no illusion that I have any ability to reach the insane. And, frankly, I don’t even try. What I’m trying to do is make sure that the numbers of the genuinely politically insane remain the stupid idiot minority they are.”
“The speech that Obama gave to the school kids, that was a Reagan conservative speech and that’s why I was so outraged by it because nobody believes he means it.”
