I came across this video on a fishing forum that I'm on. This is a great speech and should be shared.

Who is this guy?




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

This has been floating around Facebook as well. It’s very good. He reminds of that one college professor that everyone loves and hangs on to every word.

Wait, that may be because I'm in Hong Kong. Nevermind.

I'm not in Hong Kong and I can't see it either.
But I did a new search for it.
Is this it?
