"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"It is the leaders of a country who determine the policy. It is always a simple matter to
drag the people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, a parliament or a
communist dictatorship, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding
of the leaders....
"All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
-Herman Goering, founder of the Gestapo, president of the
Reichstag, convicted war criminal.
"But by equating any use of embryonic research with murder, and even objecting to the storage of undeveloped embryos for future use by potential parents, anti-abortion activists risk alienating many Americans.

Murder is wrong. Abortion is wrong. If 49 percent of Americans think it isn't, that means FIFTY ONE PERCENT agree that it is wrong, or are at least undecided. Evil tries to make people believe it is powerful, that it has the majority. We need to stand up and not back off. It is radical to believe in God, to stand up for rights, and to take unpopular positions. However, it is right. And if you stand up for truth, you will be right, and no matter how many opponents you have, they are wrong.
