Fred Thompson remembers on a Memorial Day Weekend
Contributed by Bill Faith

I Remember
Fred Dalton Thompson

I remember when I was a kid; one thing was clear to me. The more I learned about the rest of the world, the luckier I felt just having been born in America. The more I learned about America, the more I appreciated what those who came before us built; and how exceptional they were.

Not that there aren't other great places to live, but America is unique. It's not just that we are the freest and most prosperous county the world has ever seen. America has also freed more people than any other nation in history.

A lot of people have done their part to see that we are blessed with the advantages we enjoy -- from hardworking pioneer mothers to the Framers of the Constitution. Memorial Day is coming up, though, and I'm thinking more about American soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice -- those who died to protect our way of life and make the world safe for democracy.  ...

Read the whole thing, or listen to Sen. Thompson read it, here.

Some Thoughts On Fred!'s Lincoln Club Speech

I'm not sure if C-Span had problems at the last or if I did something wrong but I managed to watch almost all of Fred Thompson's speech at The Lincoln Club. He kinda sorta followed the prepared remarks posted here but they don't begin to do justice to his podium persona. He's not quite Reagan's equal as a communicator but he's the closest I've seen in a lot of years and he said all the right things.

btw, I just bookmarked The Fred Thompson Report on ABC's web site and spent some time in the archives. How about if you do the same?

Fred! '08! Fred! '08! Fred! '08!

Via Real Clear Politics, watch some short excerpts from Sen. Thompson's speech at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae7EfXqNO4Q. *** *** Update: Watch the whole speech here (Hat tip: bnelson44 in this PL Forum thread) It's just over a half hour long so you might still want to watch the excerpt if you're pressed for time.

Better yet, watch that clip here then go watch Fred Thompson on Hannity & Colmes Part I and Fred Thompson on Hannity & Colmes Part II.
