America's finest - our men and women in uniform, are a force for good throughout the world, and that is nothing to apologize for.
Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren't civil war, they are democracy at work, and that's beautiful.
New terms used like, 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' - that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can't spin our way out of this threat.
To win this war, we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern.
The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.

Folks, this government isn't too big to fail, it's too big to succeed.
To reduce deficit spending and our enormous debt, you reign in spending. You cut the budget. You don't take more from the private sector and grow government with it. And that's exactly what Obama has in mind with this expiration of Bush tax cuts proposal of his.
I'm pro-life. I'll do all I can to see every baby is created with a future and potential. The legislature should do all it can to protect human life.
