Freedom does not mean doing what you can get away with, doing what you please. It means, instead, having the opportunity to do what you ought to do--for family and for community and for humanity as a whole.
The gun control mentality is ruthlessly absurd. It suggests that you pass a law which will bind law-abiding citizens — they won't have access to weapons. Now, we know that criminals, by definition, are people who don't obey laws. Therefore, you can pass all the laws that you want, they will still have access to these weapons, just as they have access to illegal drugs and other things right now. That means you end up with a situation in which the law-abiding folks can't defend themselves, and the crooks have all the guns.
We must teach our children that the preservation of liberty, and of an order of society conducive to human dignity, requires that a free people retain the moral and material means to discipline its own government, should the temptation to tyranny take root.
In its proper constitutional sense, the term [militia] means all the able-bodied people who can be trained and disciplined to act in the community’s defence when it’s attacked. Since it encompasses every able-bodied person, it does not refer to those—such as the police, the military, or even the National Guard—who formally compose the official defence forces of the nation.

I think it will indicate that there are a lot of people in Iowa and around the country who will believe in the message of moral principles.
He refused to take into account the sensitivity of the black people of South Carolina on that flag.
I wish I could applaud all of you in the media for such fairness, ... But I certainly can't.
Why am I here? It's because I'm the sentimental favorite,
One individual doesn't really accept the pro-life position of the party, and the other ... says he supports it and takes a position that is logically inconsistent.
We need to get rid of the 16th amendment, and return to the original system that funds government with a variety of tariffs and duties.
I don't think that has to be our choice... This party was born in principle. This party will die if it doesn't stand by its decision of principle.
Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.
