Thought and i have a this the bias as well. There are those who say we should try to turn out more of, if you well, the traditional white republican vote and get that percentage up higher. I reject that. I do not think it will work. It cannot work in the long term. The party has to be competitive amongst young people minorities , particularly hispanics and asians.

That question, tell us about your transition from military to civilian life. First, the numbers on veterans making that transition. From the Washington Post. About 2. 4 million active and river and reserve members left the u. S. Forces and returned to life. Another one million, most of whom are post9 11 veterans, will have made the transition from 2014 to 2019. In 2009, Veterans Affairs implemented the new post 9 11 g. I.

I think that shakespeare is kind of in the bloodstream of our culture, and we often get him wrong, but we are close enough that people can hear that connection. Brian lamb we found this fun video on youtube. We dont who the man is, maybe you know the voice . But he does exactly what you talk about, putting quotes together that people dont know are shakespeare. [video clip] if you cannot understand my argument, and declare, it is greek to me, you are quoting shakespeare. If you are saying, it it is more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting shakespeare. If you quote salad days, you are quoting shakespeare. If you act more in sullen than in anger, if you Say Something vanished into thin air, you are quoting shak
