This is a wonderful speech. Mr. Phillips should certainly run for office. We need leaders like him who remind us of our American principles rather than only debating specific issues. We don't revisit those great truths often enough and revere the purifying effect they have had on this country as we have been forced in each generation to live up to them to a greater and greater degree.
Phillips is great. I've been reading his essays at his site for quite awhile now.
I really wish someone would put his YAF speech on youtube.
No matter what I do, I cannot get this one to run without it stopping and starting.
I tried pausing it for awhile....but it eventually starts doing it again.
