There is not a doubt in my mind that the people of America are hunkered down. They are afraid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The American people fear there is some gouging going on.
Americans' great and secret fear is that America may turn out to be a phenomenon rather than a civilization.
I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.
Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.
Americans have discovered fear.
Americans are terrified because so many of them have been laid off in recent years and months and they fear that they may be next. Even if they have not been laid off or have not known anyone laid off, they definitely know someone who has lost his home.
Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.
And I have no doubt that the American people generally believe the world is safer, and that we are safer, when we are stronger.
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
What people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward.
