Republican National Convention Speeches Now Available FREE in iTunes

Posted September 3, 2004, 3:00 p.m.

Many speeches from the Republican National Convention are now available from C-SPAN and Audible.com through the iTunes Music Store, and the rest are coming soon.

Unfortunately, I am unable to give you a direct link to the RNC speeches (and the link I provided earlier to the DNC speeches is now broken). So, instead, I’ll just link you directly to iTunes Audiobooks (link requires Apple iTunes software, a free download).

Both the Republican and Democratic National Convention speeches are available from graphic links about halfway down the page.

As I said when the DNC speeches became available, it is important to listen to these things (at minimum, Kerry’s and Bush’s respective speeches). It doesn’t matter whether you are personally a Republican or a Democrat or neither, both candidates deserve to be heard so we can all make a rational, intelligent decision about which choice is best for America.

I’ll have my opinions on that matter ready for your viewing pleasure this weekend ;-).

Belief in immortality dies easily in those who live in such a way that they cannot face the prospect of a judgment.

Fulton Sheen

I am an American by choice and conviction. I was born in Europe, but I came to America because this was the country based on my moral premises and the only country where one could be fully free to write.

Since exact science derives its exactness from measurements, the application of quantities, it is limited to matter; and since science is limited to matter, it has no philosophical or religious implications whatsoever.

Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
