islamic thinking iraq
And on this issue of the Shia in Iraq, I think there's been a certain amount of, frankly, Terry, a kind of pop sociology in America that, you know, somehow the Shia can't get along with the Sunni and the Shia in Iraq just want to establish some kind of Islamic fundamentalist regime. There's almost no evidence of that at all. Iraq's always been very secular.
philosophy fighting president
I'm disappointed, depressed, and demoralized. [...] It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush flinched from a fight on constitutional philosophy. Miers is undoubtedly a decent and competent person. But her selection will unavoidably be judged as reflecting a combination of cronyism and capitulation on the part of the president.
meaningful loyalty yuppies
Yuppies don't have loyalty. They have useful relationships and meaningful encounters.
real years world
Conservative policies have on the whole worked - insofar as any set of policies can be said to 'work' in the real world. Conservatives of the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush years have a fair amount to be proud of.
mean presidential progress
I mean, obviously, one of the strongest arguments against evolution and selection of the fittest and progress, which is part of evolution, is the current field of the presidential candidates. We started off with Washington and Adams and Jefferson and then we had Lincoln, and now we moved ahead and look where we are now.

design kind investment
I personally - if I were designing the tax code - would have a tax code in which Mitt Romney paid more than 13 percent, given what I know about the kind of investments he made money from.
country order iraq
Having defeated and then occupied Iraq, democratizing the country should not be too tall an order for the world's sole superpower.
clinton beats democratic
Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.
defense principles promotion
American power should be used not just in the defense of American interests but for the promotion of American principles.
done path experts
Republicans can also point to an alternate path. They can draw upon genuine experts to explain what should be done.
children thinking ideas
Whenever I hear anything described as a heartless assault on our children I tend to think it's a good idea.
conservative
Bush is no conservative.
christian jewish-values people
I've always rebelled a little when people say, 'My Jewish values lead me to really care about the poor.' I know some Christians who care about the poor, too.
