is abandoning, or even overlooking, the great significance of its domestic policies
But it is important that those who hear and read this message should in no way confuse that approach with any thought that our Government is abandoning, or even overlooking, the great significance of its domestic policies. (This seems to be the case)The social and economic forces which have been mismanaged abroad until they have resulted in revolution, dictatorship and war are the same as those which we here are struggling to adjust peacefully at home.
You are well aware that dictatorships--and the philosophy of force that justifies and accompanies dictatorships--have originated in almost every case in the necessity for drastic action to improve internal conditions in places where democratic action for one reason or another has failed to respond to modern needs and modern demands.
It was with far-sighted wisdom that the framers of our Constitution brought together in one magnificent phrase three great concepts--"common defense," "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility."
More than a century and a half later we, who are here today, still believe with them that our best defense is the promotion of our general welfare and domestic tranquility.
Our constitutional rights are abused and ignored - it seems money is KING and the hell with everyone else.
But Special Interests and Corporate America has taken over our great nation.
We are in the worst economic crisis since the depression and a diminished world power with dire consequences to our citizens.
Why are we not exercising our rights "Government by the people for the people" and not the select and privileged.
