America has faced much more difficult times, including potential national extinction, without flinching.

When runaway inflation and bank failures struck in Germany in the 1920s, the middle class was destroyed, which led directly to the rise of the Nazis.

Those who actually hate animals to the point of being cruel to them are outcasts to the rest of us, no matter where in the world they live.

In matters large and small, many people seemed concerned about churlishness, an ugliness in our relationships that appears to be increasing rather than decreasing.

Currently, 94 out of 100 of us pay the Social Security tax all year round.

In my opinion, the president is right to address future funding, even though Social Security will show a surplus through 2018 and will not run out of funds until 2042.

America, the temple of invention and industry, doesn't make things anymore.
