It occurs to me theres a bigger issue
than whether or not Im a Communist.
:53:07
Bigger issue?
There is no bigger issue.
:53:10
Actually, not to be contrary,
I think there is.
:53:17
Gosh, I dont quite know what to say.
:53:28
Fact is, I....
:53:30
Ive never been a man
of great conviction.
:53:35
I never saw the percentage in it.
:53:39
And quite frankly...
:53:41
...I suppose...
:53:44
...I lacked the courage.
:53:48
See, Im not like Luke Trimble.
:53:51
He had the market cornered
on those things.
:53:54
I never met the guy, but I feel
like Ive gotten to know him.
:53:59
The thing is, I cant help wondering
what hed say...
:54:04
...if he were standing here right now.
:54:10
I think hed probably tell you...
:54:13
...the America represented
in this room...
:54:17
...is not the America
he died defending.
:54:22
I think hed say your America
is bitter...
:54:26
...and cruel and small.
:54:29
Come to order!
:54:30
I know his America was big.
Bigger than you can imagine!
:54:35
With a wide-open heart!
Where every person has a voice!
:54:40
Even if you dont like
what they say--
:54:43
Enough! You are out of order!
:54:46
If he were here,
I wonder how youd respond...
:54:49
...if you could explain to him
what happened to his America.
:54:54
You are skating
on the edge of contempt!
:54:57
Thats the first thing
Ive heard today that I agree with!
