William Bennett
When you have an individual that is committed to killing someone else, you can`t expect a restraining order or the police to provide 24-hour protection.
William Bennett
The history of our nation is intertwined with a certain religious tradition, and that the First Amendment was not intended to result in the complete exclusion of religious beliefs from our public classrooms.
