Privilege is here, and with privilege goes responsibility.

One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.

We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.

We shall pay any price, bear any burden, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint - Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate.
