SPEACH NOTES:

---America stands strong and free as a beacon to other countries, if you oppress your people, they can come here and get a fair chance in life.



---Because we strive to hold ourselves to higher standards, we keep the other countries in line.



---Without a place like America, there is no place for people to escape to.



---We can't be like other countries; without a place like America, holding itself to higher standards, it is too easy for the world to be evil.



---The other countries know if they hurt their people they can escape to America, we keep the other countries in line. We have to stand strong, and free, the people of the world depend on us.



Note to General Casey:


With great respect, you are wrong.



With great respect, it is not our values that made our army great.


It is EDUCATION.



[ Rev. Sharpton's mandate, from the President of the United States-----go out there and get me positive, progressive CHANGE in the field of education----no problem, I got that in my back pocket----could we have fair hearings for medical students in New York State, and clean up the Second Circuit, so his Attorney General, Eric Holder, can get fair trials for his terrorism cases----and do right by the 6 Christian ministers and the Christian soldiers, no problem---I am all over it---and demonstrate the power of the free press, while you are at it---no problem---I got that too ].



Let's face it, in the years leading up to World War II, our army was pretty much a second rate organization. It was with the advent of World War II, when we recruited college-educated men that applied critical reasoning skills [ like the engineers, engineers are beautiful people ] that made our army great.
