"The word comes that they're (the missiles) on their way. And you sit here knowing that there is no way, at present, of stopping them.

Basically the Democratic Party has said, 'We'll take care of you. We'll see that you have food and shelter.' But then what is he? He is as beholden to that Government institution as he was beholden in slavery to the fellow who lived in the big house on the hill...
