I wrestled and played football in high school and in my last year, I started as a wrestler and actually had a fairly good record. But I hated to lose. I always gave it everything I had which, unfortunately, was not as much as I'd hoped for. But keep in mind, I feel like I got the most out of my ability. One moment that was special above all the rest was winning my last bout at the Naval Academy to finish the entire summer undefeated. That was thrilling, but what's more, it helped me in prison because the first time I got knocked around by the Vietnamese, it did not come as a total shock.

We can't go on forever with 11 million people living in this country in the shadows in an illegal status. We cannot forever have children who were born here - who were brought here by their parents when they were small children to live in the shadows, as well...

Americans want to win; bin Laden thinks he's winning now.

Bashar Assad is a major cause of the refugees which are now flooding Europe and causing such consternation in the United States.

Our nation's continued prosperity hinges on our ability to solve environmental problems and sustain the natural resources on which we all depend.
