"It is vital that we not surrender this fortress of freedom, liberty and human dignity that our ancestors died creating." -- Pat Buchanan "My vision is of a republic not an empire, a nation that does not go to war unless she is attacked, or her vital interests are imperiled, or her honor is impugned. And when she does goes to war, it is only after following a constitutional declaration by the Congress of the United States. We are not imperialists; we are not interventionists; we are not hegemonists; and we are not isolationists. We simply believe in America first, last, and always." -Patrick J. Buchanan "A Republic, Not An Empire." -- Patrick J. Buchanan, Title of His Book and a point about the USoA.
