"No therapy" for terrorists.

=====

“There is no negotiation with terrorists. No form of therapy or coercion will turn them from their murderous ways. Only total and complete destruction of terrorism will allow freedom to flourish.”

“Iraq, which once had the worst government in the Middle East, is now becoming an example of reform to the region.”

“The taxation system should not be used to redistribute wealth or fund ever-increasing entitlements and social programs.”

====

"Republicans approved a platform yesterday that puts the party firmly on the record against legalized abortion, gay marriage and other forms of legal recognition for same-sex couples, reflecting the political clout of social conservatives and setting up a stark contrast with the Democrats for the fall campaign."
