We Must Continue To Show Tolerance For Those Whose Opinions And Sincerely Held Beliefs Differ From Our Own. We Must Lead By Example, Finding A Way To Respect One Another And To Celebrate A Culture That Protects Religious Freedom While Promoting Equality Under The Law.

Equality Under The Law

I Have Been Tested. I Have Beaten Breast Cancer. I Have Buried A Child. I Started As A Secretary. I Fought My Way To The Top Of Corporate America While Being Called Every B Word In The Book. I Fought My Way Into This Election And On To This Debate Stage While All The Political Insiders And The Pundits Told, "it Couldn't Be Done."

I Am A Conservative And Proud Of It.

Somehow A U.n. Resolution About Syria Puts Us Where We Need To Be? I Think It Is A Reflection Of Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama's Beliefs That Our Foreign Policy Gets Set By Others.
