My mom was a working woman. She made more money than my dad. Both my parents worked. And this was in the '60s.

I think I'm the best candidate not just to beat President Obama, but to do what is necessary to get this country going, a conviction conservative who can rally the American public around a common set of values.

It's the most ambitious power grab I've ever witnessed.

The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility. And in fact, they force them, in many respects, to turn their children over to the public education system and wrest control from them and block them out of participation of that. That has to change or education will not improve in this country.

Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.

Defend the church. Defend the family. Defend the non-profit community. Defend them against a government that wants to weaken them.

I think the Democrats are actually worried he (Obama) may go to Indonesia and bow to more Muslims.
