Lindbergh, Sr. A man has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.~ Walter Lippmann The opposition is indispensable.

We, as their successors, must catch the torch of freedom and liberty passed on to us by our ancestors. We cannot lose this battle.~ Benjamin E.
