3. I blew it

I was in a hurry to leave and just came across the fact and then the speech, and have a terrible blindspot when it comes to reading the directions. So hopefully this time it wont need to be locked for violations!

5. Strange words to hear at an SOA graduation...

AND IT'S DEMOCRACY THAT HELPS US FOCUS SQUARELY ON THE CENTRAL DREAM THAT I THINK EACH OF US SHARE -- THE DREAM OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE AS WELL AS FREEDOM.

9. A whole string of strange words to hear at SOA!

Here's your quote in context; sounds like A Democratic convention speech!


IT'S DEMOCRACY THAT ALLOWS US TO REALIZE THE DREAM OF PRIDE. PRIDE IS THAT STRONG EMOTION THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW. THAT RESPECT THAT CIVILIANS IN YOUR COUNTRY FEEL FOR YOU IN UNIFORM. PRIDE IS THE FEELING THAT WE SHARE HEARING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEMS. PRIDE IS THE SALUTE FOR OUR FLAGS AND THE FLAGS OF OUR ALLIES.

AND IT'S DEMOCRACY THAT HELPS US FOCUS SQUARELY ON THE CENTRAL DREAM THAT I THINK EACH OF US SHARE -- THE DREAM OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE AS WELL AS FREEDOM.

AS IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE IN PROVERBS, "KINDNESS SHOWN TO THE POOR IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP."

GENERAL JOSE SAN MARTIN TALKED OF A DEMOCRACY'S "GREAT RESPONSIBILITY: TO USE FORCE ONLY AS AN INSTRUMENT OF A FREE NATION'S SELF-DEFENSE."

AND THAT'S WHY WE WORK TOGETHER SEEKING TO PROMOTE OUR DREAM OF ECONOMIC PROSPERITY.

10. Interesting that a slam at Clark

turns upside down. Clark is an idealist who speaks in lofty terms about democracy and brotherhood.

When Clark says that kindness to the poor is an act of worship, he means it, not like the creep in the Whitehouse now.

[IndianaGreen]

8. This is a 1996 speech that was posted in DU before

I know, I posted it back when I thought Clark was a GOP Trojan horse.
