To suggest that a person's strongly held religious view is less tolerant than a strongly held antireligious view is morally, intellectually, and politically inconsistent and incorrect.

My financial adviser Ric Edelman...thinks the time to start educating people about money is when they are children. He's set up a retirement plan called the RIC-E-Trust that can provide retirement security. A $5,000 one-time tax-deferred investment at birth, with an average interest rate of ten percent compounded, means that a child would have $2.4 million when he or she is 65 years old. Who needs Social Security with that kind of nest egg?

Sometimes people need a kick in the pants to get them to do what they would be doing if government weren't there as a perpetual parent.

Asking politicians to give up a source of money is like asking Dracula to forsake blood.

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.

Radical Islamists are serious about killing in pursuit of their extreme objectives. Releasing their soldiers can only embolden them to take more Americans hostage. The deal for Sgt. Bergdahl may well turn out to have been a bargain with the devil.

Nowhere have the forces of intolerance been displayed less tolerantly than in the area of religious speech and practice.
