Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country.

The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so but they must do so on the basis of equality.

We are a model country where gender equality is concerned.

There has been a banking crisis a financial crisis an economic crisis a social crisis a geostrategic crisis and an environmental crisis. That's considerable in a country that's used to being protected.

Ethanol is a premier high performance fuel. It has tremendous environmental benefits and is a key component to energy independence for our country.

I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing but the rise of the so-called conservative political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.

Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country.

In this country the health concerns and the environmental concerns are as deep as in Europe. All the surveys show that. But here we didn't have the cultural dimension. This is a fast-food culture.

We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.

I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth environmental protection improvements in our educational system.

Liberals in Congress have spent the past three decades pandering to environmental extremists. The policies they have put in place are in large part responsible for the energy crunch we are seeing today. We have not built a refinery in this country for 30 years.

Of course the EU and member states must work to ensure that people moving from one country to another understand their obligations and their rights in areas like health road safety and further education.

The people in Iraq lived essentially good lives. They had brilliant health and education systems. Saddam actually created an incredible infrastructure in a very difficult country but they were a Mafia family. If you said anything against that regime or that family you would be killed instantly.

Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people - real people including I daresay a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern secular world and particularly American values.

There is no war on women. Women are doing well. But women are thoughtful. And what we in the Republican Party and across the country Republican Independents and Democrat women say is we're more thoughtful than a label. We care about jobs and the economy and healthcare and education. We care about a lot of different things.

In the Brown decision the United States Supreme Court unanimously struck down the legal and moral footing of racially segregated public education in this country.

Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs criminals and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy adding costs to our judicial healthcare and education systems.

One of the factors a country's economy depends on is human capital. If you don't provide women with adequate access to healthcare education and employment you lose at least half of your potential. So gender equality and women's empowerment bring huge economic benefits.

Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.
