I did my 40 years in Washington, 40-plus, and it's time to pause and reflect and think about what I've seen and done.

I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.

Instead, the terrorists see just what they were hoping for, our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.

I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish.
