Prometheus 6

A City on a Hill
By ANDREI CHERNY

I did not hesitate to hunt down our enemies then. And I will not hesitate to hunt down America's enemies today.

This New Patriotism I have spoken of tonight means we will bring America's values to America's government - honoring those who work hard and walk humbly, saving and building for the future, giving power to people so they can choose their own destiny.

Meant Well, Messed Up
By THEODORE C. SORENSEN

Only 96 days remain to take back our country from the most secretive, hypocritical and dangerous band of ideologues in our governmental history. Let no doubt remain; this is the most important election of our time. Either we take the road forward to national unity and international cooperation, or we fall further into despair, division and dangerous isolation.

Grace Under Pressure
By JAMES FALLOWS

…This wonderful country has been its best under pressure. We have been shocked and wounded in the last three years - but it's not the first time. Our predecessors had to struggle for independence, for the Union, for an open and equal society, against great tyrannies and the threat of nuclear war. And in every case, the America that emerged was not just victorious but better - stronger, freer, more confident, more inclusive and equal. America is under serious challenge now, in another struggle we must win - and will. But we must win it the way we always have: with confidence and patience, not fear and panic, and with an understanding that our American ideals and openness are not disposable luxuries but the ultimate source of our strength. This is our chance to build a better, stronger America. Let us begin.
