This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.
Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up.
And this President wakes up every morning looks out across America and is proud to announce 'It could be worse.' It could be worse? Is that what it means to be an American? It could be worse? Of course not. What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that we know it must be better.
As Americans we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasn't first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.
If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?
I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film TV theatre in order to make it accessible to people.
President Obama likes to talk about the Buffett Rule. Well here's a Buffett Rule that all Americans should be able to support: mom and pop businesses should not pay a higher tax rate than Fortune 500 corporations like Warren Buffett's.
The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
Americans of all ages deserve quality end-of-life medical care.
Reform of the medical liability system should be considered as part of a comprehensive response to surging medical malpractice premiums that endanger Americans' access to quality medical care.
Ensuring Americans have access to adequate medical care should be a priority for all of us.
I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.
Civil marriage like all civil rights provided by the government must be provided equally to all Americans.
The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution.
Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented they break 3-to-1 against it.
Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.
