Thank you very much for that warm welcome.

Thank you for inviting me.

This is the first Republican Convention I have ever attended.

I am grateful that you should invite me, a lifelong Democrat. On the other hand, I realize that you are inviting many lifelong Democrats to join this common cause.

I love the variant on this in recent days: "Hate America First."

Born on November 19, 1926, in Duncan, Oklahoma--maybe my grandpa taught her in Duncan, as he, my grandmother and dad are buried there...

Maybe he did - a salute to your family my friend!

United States of American President Jeanne Kirkpatrick:

Well, we will never find another woman who comes anywhere near the stateswoman she was.

I would have been proud to serve under this woman's command and ideas.

I always wanted Jeane to run for President after RR's second term. She is one smart, tough, classy lady.

A blast from the past. Sadly, it is as relevant today as then in its description of the Democrat Party.

Listen to it at Breitbart.tv

Hugh Hewitt played the other night on his radio show.
