heart soul prosperity
But prosperity without a soul is like a corpse whose heart has stopped beating. There is no life, only consumption.
heart successful self
Welfare mostly subsidizes people in poverty, helping few escape from it. In their hearts, most people who are poor would like to be rich, or at least self-sustaining, but this president never talks about how they might achieve that goal. Instead, he criticizes those who made the right choices and now enjoy the fruits of their labor. Rather than use successful people as examples for the poor to follow, the president seeks to punish the rich with higher taxes and more regulations on their businesses.
heart government blood
It is easier to drive a stake through the heart of a blood-sucking vampire than to kill off a money-sucking and useless government program.
book years lists
The measure of a great writer is not how many weeks his books spend on the best-seller lists, but how many years his books remain in print after his death.
law vampire difficult
Once a federal law or policy is in place it is more difficult to kill than a vampire.
letting-go real mean
When the Forbidden Fruit was handed to Adam and Eve, they were allowed the moral choice to accept or decline. I know people who have refused to feast on the money tree. They live simply, within their means, and seem far more content than those who are trying to horde their wealth while clinging to the ladder of 'success,' terrified to let go. That isn't real living. The Puritans rightly saw that as covetousness.
teacher children acceptance
No child is taught to kill, but he has to be taught to love, respect, honor and value, not only his own life, but the lives of his classmates, parents and teachers. He has to experience love and acceptance. He has to know his life has purpose and meaning. No amount of money can do that.
country thinking diversity
No nation can survive without passing its heritage, language and, yes, faith to the next generation. A country must be built on something substantial and if the cultural elitists think it can be built on 'diversity,' that is a foundation of shifting sand.
mean trying doe
As with most things governmental, failure does not mean having to try something else. It means spending more money.
views speech should
Homo-sexuals should not be censored, but neither should those who oppose their point of view. That's called free speech.
evil defeated
Evil cannot be accommodated. It must be defeated.
soldier devil may
Radical Islamists are serious about killing in pursuit of their extreme objectives. Releasing their soldiers can only embolden them to take more Americans hostage. The deal for Sgt. Bergdahl may well turn out to have been a bargain with the devil.
law boxing broken
Democrats' desperate attempt to focus on campaign finance reform instead of laws that may have been broken by the Clinton-Gore campaign is like Mike Tyson demanding a reform in boxing regulations after biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear.
country america people
In a world that has gone global, we no longer have a choice. If we don't export freedom, we risk importing the viruses which have corrupted other nations. ... Some critics complained that President Bush was arrogant when he suggested America can and should export freedom to other countries. This implies the people of unfree countries may not wish to be free. Which is the greater arrogance?
