What is the greatest conservative quote you have heard from a President?

Question

Mine has always been, "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country, My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

and it did get me to do something I had considered insane, and to this day I do not understand how I survived.

SO my friends, are you asking what your country is doing for you? I hope not.

Answer 1

Oh, ya made me find a quote out of the speech.

Today I like Theodore Roosevelt on hyphenated Americans:

"For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic."

Answer 2

ok, ok, ok, ANY fool can see that those have been taken out of context. And that's coming from someone who would not even help Obama. No, i do no longer help him, in spite of the undeniable fact that that's particularly glaring that they have been misconstrued and meant to defame his character and make him look like a white hating extremist Muslim. I mean any way you positioned it, with a communique of somebody, in case you're taking in simple terms particular factors, of course in case you in simple terms take excerpts every person will look like a bad person once you do no longer understand the context or the grounds on which issues have been spoken. Sooooo unhappy that individuals will bite the bait, unfold lies, and look like fools just to earnings some help.
