This Is An Effort To Have Government Coerce, Force Speech And Behavior. And It's Being Pushed And Advocated By The Gay Community. This Is Their Ultimate Goal.

One Thing That Happens Often Times In Family Life Is That People Think Maybe The Challenge You Are Having With A Child When They Are A Teenager Or Even In Adolescence That This Is Going To Go On Forever And It Doesn't.

I Think It's Important That People Know What Raising The Debt Ceiling Is. It's Congress Giving Permission To The Federal Government To Borrow More Money That We Don't Have, And We Borrow It For The Purpose Of Spending It.

I Am Convinced In My Heart And In My Mind That If The United States Fails To Stand With Israel, That Is The End Of The United States. We Have To Show That We Are Inextricably Entwined, That As A Nation We Have Been Blessed Because Of Our Relationship With Israel, And If We Reject Israel, Then There Is A Curse That Comes Into Play.
