baseball heaven mortals
Baseball is Heaven's gift to mortals.
baseball ties progression
It (baseball) has no clock, no ties and no Liberal intrusions into the organized progression.
reading government organization
If you want to understand your government, don't begin by reading the Constitution. (It conveys precious little of the flavor of today's statecraft.) Instead, read selected portions of the Washington telephone directory containing listings for all the organizations with titles beginning with the word National.
want conservative deals
Americans are conservative. What they want to conserve is the New Deal.
political standards said
As has been said, standards are always out of date - that is why we call them standards.
men kentucky skills
Louisville, KY - Barack Obama lost Kentucky in 2012 by 23 points, yet the state remains closely divided about re-electing the man whose parliamentary skills uniquely qualify him to restrain Obama's executive overreach.

government america reform
America is the only developed nation that has a 2,000-mile border with a developing nation, and the government's refusal to control that border is why there are an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona and why the nation, sensibly insisting on first things first, resists 'comprehensive' immigration reform.
country law arizona
Arizona's law makes what is already a federal offense - being in the country illegally - a state offense. Some critics seem not to understand Arizona's right to assert concurrent jurisdiction.
