Stupidest and/or Scariest Quote from the Right for the Day: On Treaties No, New Nukes Yes "The Clinton's Administration's proposed Treaty (CTBT) is inconsistent with American security interests.
. . . A Republican President will withdraw from Senate consideration any pending international conventions or treaties that erode the constitutional foundations of our Republic and will neither negotiate nor submit such in the future.
. . . The governments of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Cuba must know that America's first line of defense is not our shoreline, but their own borders. We will be proactive, not reactive, to strike the hand of terrorism before it can be raised against Americans." — Republican Party Platform, adopted 8-12-96, pp. 33, 34, 35.
