The article contains twenty quotes from Mike Pompeo. These quotes deal with Mr. Pompeo’s love for his country, the United States of America. The title of his bestselling book, “Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love,” gives an idea about his love for his native land.
“We need a renewed commitment to equality. Equality is the promise that makes being an American something exceptional.”
“In America, equality isn’t earned by identity, or wealth, or status – it’s available to every American by birthright. That promise has made us a ‘shining city on the hill….’”
“Equality is the antidote to the poisonous lie of equity, wokeness, and identity politics.”
“Instead of more ‘racial equity,’ Biden should promote the principles that make America great: merit and equality.”
“America’s Founders defined unalienable rights as including ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ They designed the Constitution to protect individual dignity and freedom.”
“America’s greatness was founded on the character, merit, and excellence of its people. Its future will be secured through the same.”
“The story of American freedom is the story of religion, and the family is the bedrock of American freedom and equality.”
“This nation [USA] is no like other: it’s unique, it’s noble and it is decent. This remains true at our founding, and it remains true today.”
“We can never give an inch in making sure that this American miracle—the ability to worship who we choose—is at the bedrock of who we are.”
“We must renew the bonds that tie us together as Americans: our families and our places of worship. These are the cradles of the American miracle – the places where freedom grows and takes root.”
“… foremost among these rights are property rights and religious liberty. No one can enjoy ‘the pursuit of happiness’ if you can’t own the fruits of your labor! And no society can retain its legitimacy—or a virtuous character—without religious freedom.”
“America’s Founders defined unalienable rights as including ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ They designed the Constitution to protect individual dignity and freedom. A moral foreign policy should be grounded in this conception of human rights.”
“Reporting is a profession. Done well, it is incredibly important. Getting facts right, being willing to really work hard and not just write some rumor, not just write some half-baked story, but rather to really do real, honest to goodness reporting where the consumer, the reader of that writing actually benefits from learning as a result of that, is central to American democracy.”
“I’m convinced, the brightest talent from all across the world will still flock to the United States because we continue to be a beacon for liberty and a place where a world-class education on cutting-edge knowledge will be available to those who are willing to work hard to get it.”
“This was the first time ever that America led nations to set a standard for how governments should treat their people [UN Declaration of Human Rights]. We even fought to protect unalienable rights of the people in nations we had just defeated [Period after World War II]. This wasn’t American imperialism, but rather American mercy, or grace.”
“Too many in America today would have us abandon our nation’s foundational commitment to equality in the name of equity. They would exchange the bravery of the civil rights movement for the cowardice of victimhood and grievance politics.”
“…a good start would be reading more of the Bible, and a little bit of the Federalist Papers on top of it… We need to do our hard work to take back… all of those places that can actually change those [curricula], and make sure we’re teaching our kids about the real American history.”
“I want to take a moment this Memorial Day Weekend to honor the men and women who gave their lives to keep our country safe. We must never forget that for generations, Americans have given their lives so that each of us could be free and prosperous.”
“At each stage of my public service – as a soldier, as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and then as Director the Central Intelligence Agency and as your Secretary of State – I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to advance America in a way that fit the time and the moment.”
“This nation has given me more than I deserve – unimaginable opportunities. My duty to return that blessing to others remains and with His [God’s] help I will fulfill that obligation.”
