People think I'm smarter than I am.

I am not what I think. I am thinking what I think.

Allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind.

After all, the U.S. Senate already has one Arlen Specter too many.

I cite in my book countless examples of the foundational documents of the colonial period in America and the writings of the leaders, that this was intended to be a Christian nation.

It’s better to make a decision, even the wrong one, than to be in limbo.
