“I absolutely hate the way the United States glorifies its military and its wars. Real heroes fight for peace.”

“When, in 2012, Newt Gingrich was asked about how his religious beliefs would affect his conduct should he become president, the Republican nominee hopeful answered, "One of the reasons I am running is there has been an increasingly aggressive war against religion and in particular against Christianity" in the United States.

Today, the country is divided on whether or not the federal government should deliver regulations covering social provisions. ...The United States has a long tradition of welfare programs starting in the early days of the new republic in 1776.

Attempts to reform the law helping the poor and unemployed to get work have a long history, as do the fights against abuses of the same system.”
