“Right now, many thousands of our fellow countrymen and women are serving in faraway and often hostile lands. We'll see television coverage of them enjoying the company of their fellow service members and a special Christmas dinner in a chow hall. What they wouldn't give to be where you and your neighbors will likely be this week, sharing this season of giving at home with loved ones. Especially for them, we wish,--no, pray, "Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men."”

“I'm thankful for big tracts of woods and places where traffic's din is faint, if heard at all; thankful for places where stars in the night sky shine brightly without need for the glare of artificial lights designed to further commerce, convenience or security.”

“This "Desperate Housewives" demographic, dominated by pro-growth urbanites or suburbanites, often claims it wants to preserve "open space" or "green space." Sadly, this frequently is a euphemism for rollerblading trails and places where their doggies can poop unencumbered; not "wild spaces" where hunters stalk the creeks and wildlife is truly wild.”

“The U.S. Army is not being paid a nickel to voice opposition to this. Nobody is making any money off of this. The only investment we're trying to protect is the ability of our men and women to train in a fashion without any compromise.”

“Our house had a patch of woods in the back that sloped down to a swampy area with a nice creek that was great for flipping rocks and catching salamanders, while listening to redwing blackbirds flying around the cattails. I'm glad for places like that to still go in my mind and, yes, most of those woods are now gone--bulldozed in the name of prosperity, smart growth, or something similarly worthy.”

“During short-lived minutes in early morning and late afternoon, the sun's light creates warmer, richer hues and tones in the colors of everything it touches. It paints the desert and renders the "purple mountains majesty" described in "America the Beautiful."”
