One of the genuine phenomenons over the past four decades has been the liberal community's steadfast insistence that God should be barred from the public sphere. This is not law. It is religious prejudice.

At the end of the day, there is no doubt that the unique spirit embodied by this country has worked, not just to make the world safer, but to make it better.

That is what great athletes can do: they give us a model of striving for human perfection.

Very simply, the culture of another people does not have to be accepted when it is subhuman!
