The left have taken a really beautiful thing, male-female relationships, and turned them into a battle, a political battle, an ideological war. And if you doubt me, what is the War on Women?

It's not a big deal, but it's quite noticeable and obvious to me, and it's a little hypocritical, and it's a little contradictory.

We are all the sons or daughters of immigrants - some more recent than others - but all dedicated to the triumph of an idea that serves as the touchstone of what it means to be an American.
