Democratic National Convention Speeches

Posted July 30, 2004, 3:05 p.m.

In case any of you missed it (as I did), many of the speeches from the Democratic National Convention are available for free in the iTunes Music Store (thanks to Audible.com and CSPAN). Already up are Monday’s and Tuesday’s speeches, and I assume the rest are coming soon.

Democratic National Convention speeches (iTunes link).

Whether you’re a Democrat or not, the convention is an important statement on the platform of the Democratic Party. Anybody who takes their civic duty half-serious and wishes to vote intelligently in November should give it a listen (and should listen to the Republican speeches next month, as well).

Enjoy.

Quotes

The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight. . . .

Fulton Sheen

Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.

Mary (Blessed Virgin)

The hard times brace you, and the soft times drive you to drink.

The Bible is not a scientific textbook and should never be read as such; rather it reveals what God wants us to know for the sake of our salvation.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

Teddy Roosevelt

Not even the most powerful propaganda machine in the world can change truth.

Maximilian Kolbe

It has been said that beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. It can also be said that hiccups are proof that God hates us and wants us to be angry.

Scott Bradford

Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.

Peter the Apostle

‘Unmet needs’ are inherent . . . whether we have a capitalist, socialist, feudal, or other kind of economy. These [systems] are just different institutional ways of making trade-offs. . . .

Thomas Sowell

Middle-class values, of course, are represented by the Constitutional concepts of limited government, states rights, rights of property, a competitive economy, the solving of problems on the local level if possible and, in any event, with a minimal of government meddling.

W. Cleon Skousen

The man who is right is a majority. We, who have God and conscience on our side, have a majority against the universe.

Humans need to work out how to have liberalism without it descending into degeneracy.
