You know, the taxing authority of the United States is our most powerful weapon. You know, the reason we separated from England was because the British were using it abusively.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Britain is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, after the States. There's a lot of money in weapons deals. We sell weapons, and our responsibility ends as soon as they leave the country; they're unpacked, and then before you know it, they're spread around the world.
The British claim to have a special relationship with the U.S., but if you mention this in Washington, no one knows what you are talking about.
The U.S. has intervened more often in more countries farther from its own shores than has any power in modern history.
My speculation is that the U.S. does not want to establish the principle that it has to defer to some higher authority before carrying out the use of violence.
There is but one nation on the globe from which we have anything serious to apprehend, but that is the most powerful that now exists or ever did exist. I refer to Great Britain.
Our nation is today a powerful nation.
Our power is not so much in us as through us.
I firmly believe that Scotland's place is in the U.K., and I do not believe in powers for power's sake.
The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.
The most powerful thing we own is our vote.
