Gore again
Laurence emailed a link to another good Gore speech. In it, Gore discusses the examples of how America has been ruled recently by fear instead of trust. He goes on to point out that fear stifles progress and that the fear foisted on our society will outlive the current administration, as will the detrimental effects of its fear-inspired policies.
It contains a relevant historical reference to Nixon's paranoia-fueled fear and contrasts it with an Eisenhower quote:
Any who act as if freedom's defenses are to be found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America.
And here's a video of his previous speech I spoke about earlier that you can watch online or buy on DVD for $5.
