It's never been my purpose to become an American icon or more famous or richer.

When liberals finally grasped the strength of popular feeling about the family they cried to appropriate the rhetoric and symbolism of family values for their own purposes.

Most women are pragmatists who have allowed extremists on the left and right to manipulate the family issue for their own purposes.
