The average American is nothing if not patriotic.

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

I'm a father that's what matters most. Nothing matters more.

Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.

I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father's life.

Easter is reflecting upon suffering for one thing but it also reflects upon Jesus and his non compliance in the face of great authority where he holds to his truth - so there's two stories there.
