In a world that has gone global, we no longer have a choice. If we don't export freedom, we risk importing the viruses which have corrupted other nations. ... Some critics complained that President Bush was arrogant when he suggested America can and should export freedom to other countries. This implies the people of unfree countries may not wish to be free. Which is the greater arrogance?
religious atheist believe
The courts demand that every religious person must accommodate a single atheist who might be 'offended' at the favorable mention of God's name. But no atheist can be forced to accommodate a single religious person who might be offended by the atheist's unbelief, or who wants to be part of the pluralism and diversity about which liberals regularly speak, but which is not broad enough to embrace people who believe in God.
believe atheism might
Another question a biblically literate reporter might have asked is, "Why are you proclaiming the Ten Commandments when you believe no one can live up to all of them?"
remember forget
Not to remember 9/11, is to forget what brought it about.
government people institutions
Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions.
country power morality
Politicians have limited power. They can't impose morality on themselves. How can they impose it on the country?
heart successful self
Welfare mostly subsidizes people in poverty, helping few escape from it. In their hearts, most people who are poor would like to be rich, or at least self-sustaining, but this president never talks about how they might achieve that goal. Instead, he criticizes those who made the right choices and now enjoy the fruits of their labor. Rather than use successful people as examples for the poor to follow, the president seeks to punish the rich with higher taxes and more regulations on their businesses.
sports team differences
The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.
running attitude stupid
Republicans should save the clip of Jonathan Gruber and run it over and over again in the run-up to the 2016 election. This attitude that government is better at making decisions than you are because you are too stupid to know what is good for you is a hallmark of patronizing, arrogant and condescending liberalism.
gun government people
People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.
running adversity water
People, like water, will run downhill, seeking their lowest level unless something interdicts them.
giving-up humorous blood
Asking politicians to give up a source of money is like asking Dracula to forsake blood.
character home law
In violent streets and broken homes, the cry of anguished souls is not for more laws but for more conscience and character.
business people society
If we want to produce people who share the values of a democratic culture, they must be taught those values and not be left to acquire them by chance.
