Obama often criticizes policies that place the interests of the powerful ahead of the powerless. But through his administrations support of abortion rights, Obama shows his lack of empathy for societys most powerless. – Gary Bauer
Newt Gingrich is one of the brightest people in the Republican Party and hes always been a little unorthodox in his approach to politics, but thats what makes him Newt Gingrich. – Gary Bauer
If one is going to change the definition of marriage to be, quote, same sex, then there is absolutely no valid argument constitutionally or rhetorically you can make against multiple people getting married. These are radical social changes. – Gary Bauer
Independence doesnt – doesnt equate to moderates. Millions of independents are pro-life. Millions of independents believe marriage is between a man and a woman. – Gary Bauer
Im against big bureaucracy in Washington making health care decisions. I just have an aversion to bureaucrats. But its not just government bureaucrats. I dont like HMO bureaucrats and insurance company bureaucrats either. – Gary Bauer
Big-government proponents embrace both the power of the federal government and the idea that millions of Americans ought to be dependent on its largesse. Its time to return to our Founders love for small government. More is not always better. – Gary Bauer
The Left regards the Constitution as defective and outmoded – in part because it impedes the governments ability to control institutions, like churches and families, which stand between the state and individuals. – Gary Bauer
I have come to the conclusion that while a candidates faith matters, whats most important is how he or she applies that faith. – Gary Bauer
The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidates faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values. – Gary Bauer
Its important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith – often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief. – Gary Bauer
For the record, I believe elected officials should talk about faith. Our founders believed the moral principles of faith were indispensable to our nations survival. The Declaration of Independence mentions God four times. – Gary Bauer
Republican values – strong families, faith, personal responsibility and freedom, among others – are not unique to specific subsets of the electorate. They are universal values, and it is Republicans job to remind Americans of that fact. – Gary Bauer
All the culture war issues will be settled by the court. – Gary Bauer
The stigma that was once attached to things society deemed unhealthy served the purpose of making them undesirable. With the stigma gone, many people see little reason not to do whatever feels good at the moment. – Gary Bauer
The science of life is changing hearts and minds. – Gary Bauer
Beyond politics, the West is suffering from what can be called a crisis of brokenness – broken institutions, broken families and broken souls. – Gary Bauer
Obviously, marriage is not a synonym for morality. But stable marriages and families do encourage moral behavior. – Gary Bauer
There is something wrong with our culture when the view that marriage is between one man and one woman, a view shared by half the nation, is portrayed as evidence of hatred. – Gary Bauer
If Republicans want to be seen as more compassionate, they should continue to stand proudly for the sanctify of life and marriage. And they should do so without apologizing. – Gary Bauer
My argument is simple, which is, that for several thousand years in Western civilization, marriage has been the union of one man and one woman. Research is overwhelming that children need mothers and fathers. – Gary Bauer
