Obama is trying to paint us as a caricature as if we're some bizarre individualists who are hardcore libertarians. It's a false dichotomy and intellectually lazy. Of course we believe in government. We think government should do what it does really well but that it has limits.

In our civilization and under our republican form of government intelligence is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

Our intentions may be very good but because the intelligence is limited the action may turn out to be a mistake - a mistake but not necessarily a sin for sin comes out of a wrong intention.

Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore not because they are pretty or good or well-bred or graceful or intelligent but because they are themselves.

A conversation is a dialogue not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity two intelligent talkers seldom meet.

After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn't I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God's Son.
