Temperament . Or for word. I think part of the reason is to offer a different intellectual history of ourselves. We define ourselves that way that the left just does not. Too often when the conservatives reached for intellectual history or philosophy they reach for the most radical version for the jeffersonian tail and we squeezed Abraham Lincoln into the story and it ends up being too radical about ourselves burke offers a different way to understand the liberal society. Achievement not a break but ameritech is the greatest achievement and not throwing away what key before but throw rigo way but made us so therefore as improves and grows it is not a radical process it requires conservative is a man and one of the lessons we could take from burke it has the engagement with policies that you had to fix problems before they got too big to invite radical solutions.

Property. And it went to court and went to lord mansfield, famous jurist, who ruled that slavery so odious, that was the term that he used, that it cannot be tolerated on english soil. Crucially, it could be tolerated in the colonies. But thats another story. [laughter] but not on english soil. And the United States, the founders of the country were almost all slave owners. And they could see the handwriting on the wall. If the colonies remained under british rule, probably these laws would apply here, and theyd lose their property. That was surely a significant element of the revolution. And it runs right to the present. I mean, right to this moment the civil war is still being fought. Simply take a look at the electoral maps.

I call, in defense of their people, their country and their holy shrines, should volunteer to reach this sacred goal. Rebel fighters took control of two towns near the border of iran.

If employers can design their own curriculum then workers will know just what skills they need. Third, we need common sense criminal justice reform. We need to give people the opportunity to earn a Second Chance in this country. Luckily, my colleagues have done a lot of good work on this front. Senator mike lee, congressman Raul Labrador and bobby scott introduced a very good piece of reform of the sentencing guidelines, would give the jumps more discretion with lowrisk, nonviolent offenses. They dont have to give the maybes sentence everytime. Theres no reason to lock anyone up longer than necessary and we also have to tackle this recidivism. About half of our excons are reincarcerated win three years of release. Think about that. But we know there are programs that work. That get people out of the life of crime.
