We have to explain to Americans how we lose and what the consequences of losing are, because they don't understand.  We have to engage the American people.  The president started the other night on energy.  I know there are some people who would say, well, I didn't like this policy or that.  Look, we have to do something about energy security in this country, we have to produce more, we have to conserve more because we are funding the enemy who wants to kill us and destroy us.  Energy policy has to be a priority.  Frank Gaffney is leading the way on something called terror-free investments.  Sarah Steelman, the treasures of Missouri, is the first to do that: create a public fund that was guaranteed terror-free; in other words, not investing in companies that do business with countries that support terrorism.  We need to do it public sector-wise, as well as put the pressure just like some other groups have done in the past in the business community, like South Africa and the Sullivan Principles in not investing dollars in terrorism that are killing our men and women in uniform.  

We have to engage the Americas.  They made fun of Chavez and Ahmadinejad at the United Nations.  They did the same thing to a guy named Nikita Khrushchev who banged a shoe, they made fun of him.  And we found out he wasn't such a funny guy.  But Ahmadinejad is doing is exactly what Khrushchev was doing.  I mean, they're learning from history.  We're not but they are.  How do you really get at America?  At our soft underbelly.  What they're doing is very, very smart.  We've focused all of our energy and all of our time, where?  In the Middle East against them fighting on their front door.  So what are they going to do?  Bring it to our back door.  It's what they're doing.  And what are we doing?  For the most part, ignoring it.  You never hear the president talk about what's going on there.  We don't refer to Chavez.  Why?  Because he's a buffoon.  Until one day we wake up and find out that this buffoon has stuff that could really be damaging to us, right across the bay.  

We need to engage the Americas.  We need to build closer ties so the spread of leftism, not Islamic fascism, but radical leftist ideology does not spread through our Central and South America.  Eradicate: we have to defeat the enemy.  We've got to win.  We've got to go and stay in Iraq and anywhere else that we are confronted with this enemy, on the battlefield, with better intelligence to protect us here at home and obviously improve security.  

And finally, we have to change the government of Iran.  

We can stand aside and pretend that they are not at the core of what the problem is around the world, but they are.  The funny thing is that the majority of the Iranian people are pro-American.  The strongest pro-American sentiment in the Middle East is in Iran among the people and we have to have a deliberate policy to change that regime and we do not.  

Many people have suggested that we are at a time right now that is similar to the late 1930s and the early '40s where the storm is gathering around us and we choose to look the other way.  We choose to believe that all of these crazy people who are saying they want to destroy us don't really mean it or don't have the capability of doing it, just like we did back in the late 1930s.  

I will close with a quote that many of you have heard, you've heard certainly the last part of it, from Winston Churchill on June of 1940 when he addressed the British people as Britain stood alone after the fall of France.  Britain was alone, America, June, 1940, a year and a half before America would stand by Britain's side, a year and a half before we would announce we would stand by their side and sometime after that before we had the capability to do so. 

And so there stood Britain alone against the onslaught of the Axis powers and he said, quote: "What General Weygand called the battle of France is over.  I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin.  Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization.  Upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institutions and our empire.  The whole fury and might of the enemy must soon be turned upon us.  Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war.  If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.  But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister and perhaps more protracted by the lights of perverted science.  Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its commonwealth lasts for a thousand years, men will still say: this is their finest hour." 

This is America's hour alone.  What Winston Churchill said 67 years ago is true today.  What is your answer?  God bless you.
