In The Old Days Of America When Communities Were Separated By Hundreds Of Miles, Why Were They Able To Thrive?

If Somebody Got Killed By A Bear, Everybody Took Care Of Their Family.

If Someone Has A Muslim Background And They're Willing To Reject Those Tenets And To Accept The Way Of Life That We Have And Clearly Will Swear To Place Our [american] Constitution Above Their Religion, Then, Of Course, They Will Be Considered Infidels And Heretics, But At Least I Would Then Be Quite Willing To Support Them.

It Is Absolutely Vital That We Do All We Can To Allow Americans To Practice Their Religious Ways, While Simultaneously Ensuring That No One's Beliefs Infringe Upon Those Of Others. We Should Also Serve As Champions Of Freedom Of Religion Throughout The World.

We Need To Be Doing Lots Of Other Things With The Resources That We Have. So Economic Power Works Just As Well As Military Power, Perhaps Even Better. And Speaking Of That, Our Military Needs To Be Upgraded.

A Good Surgeon Doesn't Just Concentrate On Technical Ability, But Also On The Appropriateness Of What You're Doing.

Military Action Is Never The First Thing That You Jump To. You Always Look At Other Possibilities, Including Economic Sanctions, Tightening The Screws.

Economic Sanctions

So After A While, If People Won't Accept Your Excuses, You Stop Looking For Them.

We Should Use Our Economic Power In Lots Of Different Ways. I Think We Can Use That In Order To Keep [vladimir] Putin Contained, Because He Is A One-horse Show. Energy.

If I Give All I Posses To The Poor And Surrender My Body To The Flames, But Am Not Nice, I Gain Nothing.
