We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
The freedom of thought and expression is one of the most sacred rights in this country.

We have freedom of speech, but you got to watch what you say.
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
