I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse -- I will not retreat a single inch -- AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.

br> The choice for conservatives in 2008 could not possibly be better expressed. Have an agenda. Know where they're going. Know what the goals are. Make the case. Win -- and get the job done. No retreat. No Surrender. No moderation. No bipartisanship. No more back scratching.

There is far, far too much at stake. For conservatives, only victory is acceptable.
