A wonderful statement:
"Slowly but surely we are weaving a world fabric of international security and growing prosperity.
We are aided by all who wish to live in freedom from fear--even by those who live today in fear under their own governments.
We are aided by all who want relief from lies and propaganda--those who desire truth and sincerity.
We are aided by all who desire self-government and a voice in deciding their own affairs.
We are aided by all who long for economic security--for the security and abundance that men in free societies can enjoy.
We are aided by all who desire freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to live their own lives for useful ends.
Our allies are the millions who hunger and thirst after righteousness.
In due time, as our stability becomes manifest, as more and more nations come to know the benefits of democracy and to participate in growing abundance, I believe that those countries which now oppose us will abandon their delusions and join with the free nations of the world in a just settlement of international differences.
Events have brought our American democracy to new influence and new responsibilities. They will test our courage, our devotion to duty, and our concept of liberty.
But I say to all men, what we have achieved in liberty, we will surpass in greater liberty.
Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man's freedom is secure.
To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God's help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace."

I absolutely agree with you We3luvdisney; that is a wonderful statement! 
And thank you for posting it- it had been a while since I read the speech and I had to go back and check on if it was the ending stanzas from the speech Truman gave after being sworn in following FDR's death, or from the one he have at his inaugural following his defeat of Republican challenger Thomas Dewey.
It's from Truman's Inaugural. . . and although the Democratic President wasn't known for his soaring rhetoric, that was a very impressive speech.
I hope you don't mind but I'd like to post a few parts from the beginning and middle of the speech I also admire:
"I accept with humility the honor which the American people have conferred upon me. I accept it with a resolve to do all that I can for the welfare of this Nation and for the peace of the world.
In performing the duties of my office, I need the help and the prayers of every one of you. I ask for your encouragement and for your support. The tasks we face are difficult. We can accomplish them only if we work together. . ."
"It may be our lot to experience, and in a large measure to bring about, a major turning point in the long history of the human race. The first half of this century has been marked by unprecedented and brutal attacks on the rights of man, and by the two most frightful wars in history. The supreme need of our time is for men to learn to live together in peace and harmony.. .
"Communism subjects the individual to arrest without lawful cause, punishment without trial, and forced labor as the chattel of the State. It decrees what information he shall receive, what art he shall produce, what leaders he shall follow, and what thoughts he shall think.
Democracy maintains that government is established for the benefit of the individual, and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of the individual and his freedom in the exercise of those abilities of his."
"Communism maintains that social wrongs can be corrected only by violence.
Democracy has proved that social justice can be achieved through peaceful change. . ."
"In the coming years, our program for peace and freedom will emphasize four major courses of action.
First, we will continue to give unfaltering support to the United Nations and related agencies, and we will continue to search for ways to strengthen their authority and increase their effectiveness. We believe that the United Nations will be strengthened by the new nations which are being formed in lands now advancing toward self-government under democratic principles. . . "
"The old imperialism -- exploitation for foreign profit -- has no place in our plans. What we envisage is a program of development based on the concepts of democratic fair-dealing.. . "
Yep, old Harry could stand with the best of them when he felt the need to.. .. thanks again for reminding me of such a wonderful speech!

If I'm not mistaken it was from Harry Truman's 1948 Inaugural Address. I could be wrong? If so, I'm sure someone will point it out?
Can you imagine a Democrat saying these words today?

WillyJ,
Knock your socks off. I do agree with you, it's a wonderful speech! Hell, why not post the entire speech. I think both sides could learn from it.

Well normally I'd be happy to honor your request and post the entire speech We3luvdisney, but I'm afraid that since you chose to include vulgar language in your post, I must respectfully decline.
Perhaps that sort of talk is acceptable on the Senate Floor and at Bush Campaign Rallies, but this is a family board and I for one will not dishoner the family-values the majority hold dear here by acknowleging and/or endorsing such potty-talk in any way . .
And I think it's safe to say Mr. Truman (Democrat/President) would agree with me 100%!
