Men who live under the sway of their womankind do not sustain great statesmanship but are more of the gloomy fanatic type.
Most of our liberal lawmakers today are of the self-righteous type and never really put in an earnest day's work for the people they should represent.
America, please let me help with a solution: Military service transforms boys to men. There is no substitute for that transformation.
Military service should be mandatory for politicians all the way up to the highest office in the country.
My top choice is battlefield experience. Front-line battlefield experience makes leaders of the highest quality we can wish for, and in peacetime that individual will keep on fighting for the good of the country.
There is nothing honorable about liberals. Yes, character matters.
