abuse believe black eye flying given gross head held high power qualified serve
I still believe that Weld is eminently qualified to serve as the ambassador. There's been a gross abuse of power by Helms. I think that Weld has held his head up high and has come through with flying colors. I think Helms has given a black eye to the Senate.
religious believe government
I believe that religious witness should not mobilize public authority to impose a view where a decision is inherently private in nature or where people are deeply divided about whether it is... Americans are plainly and persistently divided about abortion and the fiat of government cannot settle the issue as a matter of conscience or of conduct.

If weapons of mass destruction land on Israeli soil, killing innocent civilians, the experts I have consulted believe Israel will retaliate, and possibly with nuclear weapons... Nor can we rule out the possibility that Saddam would assault American forces with chemical or biological weapons.
prayer believe thinking
People of faith should not invoke the power of the state to decide what everyone can believe or think or read or do.

I do not believe that John Roberts has met the burden of proof necessary to be confirmed by the Senate as chief justice of the United States, ... Sadly, there is ample evidence that he would turn the clock back on this country's great march of progress toward equal opportunity for all.
