Many Americans Simply Don't Want The Pinheads In Washington Or The Various State Capitals To Be Telling Us How To Live. But We Are Absolutely Going In That Direction. President Obama Is Hell-bent On Imposing A Bureaucracy That Levels All Playing Fields At Great Expense In Coin And In Freedom.

On The Policy Front, I Just Believe That Barack Obama Was Misguided. That He Somehow Sees This Country As Being In Need Of A Drastic Overhaul. What He Tried To Do Actually Hurt The Country Rather Than Helped It And The Best Example Is Obamacare. It's A Good Idea To Insure People Who Can't Or Won't Buy Insurance But You Can't Punish The Working Class To Make It Happen, Which He Did. Now Everybody's Paying Higher Premiums And More Deductibles That's Coming Out Of Working People's Pockets And That's One Of The Reasons That His Legacy Has Been Refuted.

There Comes A Time When A Human Being Has To Either Face Evil Or Admit To Allowing It. Abortion Is Legal In The United States, But It Should Not Be Celebrated Or Used As A Political Tool. Viable Babies Are Human Beings.

If You're A 12-year-old Boy And You're Watching That And You Still Want To Make It With The Captain Of The Boat, You're Gay. You Can't Fight That. So It Is What It Is.

At Times You Have To Fight. No Way Around It. At Some Point, Every One Of Us Is Confronted With Danger Or Injustice. How We Choose To Combat That Challenge Is Often Life-defining.

Americans Who Have Parents Raised During The Great Depression Or World War Ii Understand How Drastically Things Have Changed On The Home Front.
