To remind you of what we're struggling for. This isn't a battle, it's a long, protracted war, and any and all so-called setbacks are temporary. This revolution of freedom is one of an idea whose time has long come and whose success is inevitable. Whether or not it takes one month or one year or one decade is inconsequential.
This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down -- [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.

I think you'll find it extremely similar to Ron Paul's thoughts, just expressed more eloquently.
