I'm not an expert on the ways of Washington [but] it makes no sense to me that we're not funding control of our border.

Great countries need to secure their border for national security purposes, for economic purposes and for rule of law purposes.

If we're serious about America's leadership in the world, then we need to make sure that we have the back of the armed forces.

Why would our president close the embassy to the Vatican? Hopefully, it is not retribution for Catholic organizations opposing Obamacare.

But without a caring society, without each citizen voluntarily accepting the weight of responsibility, government is destined to grow even larger, taking more of your money, burrowing deeper into your lives.

I don't believe the federal government should be involved in the creation of standards directly or indirectly, the creation of curriculum or content. It is clearly a state responsibility.

Everybody who aspires to high positions of leadership in their state and in their country should be willing to take unscreened, unrehearsed questions from the people who pay their salary.
