Thompson Speaks

Fred Thompson just made his first appearance since announcing he is running in the 2008 presidential race. He criticized the immigration pact in Congress and said the United States was battling threats from "forces of evil."

"This is a battle between the forces of civilization and the forces of evil and we've got to choose sides," Thompson said. Fred has it right. That is what the war comes down to and civilization, as we here in America know it, is on the line. The future of our children and grandchildren hangs in the balance, threatened by the barbarians who literally are at our gates.

Thompson got a standing ovation from the crowd with a call for stronger borders and an attack on the immigration compromise pending in Congress.

"This is our home and we get to decide who can come into our home," he said.
