In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.

People tune in to the Fox News Channel because it was founded on the premise that all sides should be presented fairly.
