unfortunate, it was disappointing. It was uncalled for. I hope he thinks better of it and retracts his statement.
What happened in America so that mothers and fathers who leave their children in the care of someone else ... find themselves more affirmed by society? ... Here, we can thank the influence of radical feminism, one of the core philosophies of the village elders.
I don't know yet, ... But I am concerned President Bush nominated someone who is a blank slate. I'm disappointed he wanted to nominate someone like that instead of someone with a record.
