Most Americans have forgotten how to sacrifice. Our greatest sickness is our stubborn refusal to acknowledge our own moral and spiritual poverty. Let us do so. We are the greatest single power the world has ever known. We have risen to dizzying heights of technological development and scientific achievement.
American footprints dot the moon.
Our language, our culture, our products have girdled the globe. We have been blessed with the most fabulously rich piece of real estate on the good earth. Our standard of living has risen to opulent heights never imagined in the science fiction of yesteryear. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. That famous president recognized that our fantastic wealth was given to us directly by the Creator God.
