This
is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Yesterday,
Donald Trump delivered the best speech of his campaign to date. Newt Gingrich rightly called it the most
important since Ronald Reagan left office.
In
fact, in many ways, it was Reaganesque in its clarity about today’s existential
threat to freedom – what Trump calls “Radical Islam” – and his prescription for
securing the sort of victory over it that President Reagan achieved over the
last such threat: Soviet communism.
Mr.
Trump called for a comprehensive strategy aimed at protecting us against the
hateful ideology Islamic supremacists call Sharia. Those who do not share our values and seek to
supplant our Constitution with Sharia would not be welcome here. And he would
roll-up the networks in this country that support Islamist radicalization.
The
stage is now set for the sort of national debate – and choice – that is long
overdue and absolutely necessary.
