Bravo to Giuliani

A great quote from Rudy today:

GIULIANI: They hate us, not because of anything bad we've done. This has nothing to do with any aggression on the part of the United States of America. It has nothing to do with anything America is taking from anyone. It has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. They hate us for the freedoms that we have and the freedoms that we want to share with the world, because the freedoms that we have and the freedoms that we want to share with the world are in conflict with their perverted interpretation of their religion, their maniacal, violent, and perverted interpretation of their religion in which they train their young people to be suicide bombers, and they train them to hate you and despise you, and they train them to hate your religion, and to not allow you to have religion of your own, or anyone else. They hate us for the reasons that are the best about us, because we have freedom of religion, because we have freedom for women, because women are allowed to participate in society, because we have elections, because we have a free economy. Well, we're not giving that up, and you're not going to come and take it from us.

Thank you, Rudy, for putting the war on terror in terms we can all understand. Although Rudy does not come with the entire package, he does know his stuff when it comes to Islamic Jihad. Bravo to the Republican candidates for staying on message, taking swipes at the enemy and not each other.

By the way, David Alvord thinks that it is messages just like Rudy's that accounts for the large Republican presence among LDS voters. see article
