stay behind. in fact, sometimes children are at school and no one comes to pick them up because they ve been detained and deported. it s something that has damaged obama s legacy. i so appreciate you saying that. it helps give lie to that will lie of anchor baby. it doesn t anchor the parents. we ve seen the parents broken up over and over again. this is a way of talking about immigration reform within an ethical and moral context that isn t about terrorism or labor anxiety but it is about the maintenance and preservation of families which the right is meant to be in support of. that s right. i ll even go one step further. it s a liberty issue which is the rights. bishop daniel flores has the largest latino diocese. he was on this ad hoc commission and he convinced them well, he very forcefully articulated how what they call harboring
homosexuality but i notice a distinct absence of commentary about the black people comments. you notice a distinct absence of commentary around the homophobic remarks as well. they want to talk about religious liberty. there s been a shift in social conservatism to not talk about social conservatism. this is religious liberty issue. they don t want to talk about gay marriage and homophobia and racism, the whole gop reranting. that s difficult to do when you have the governor of louisiana and senator ted cruz coming out to talk about duck dynasty. when you have the view that phil robertson put forward, karen, is sort of a rewrite of the history of the united states on race that i find to be common on the right. this requirement that everyone from president obama to everyone else rewrite their view of the country to only talk about how
the veterans coming home. yes, i do think that you can start to edge down this road in a way that does not not talk to individuals. important to remember in pennsylvania, we have a million individuals that on the hunting day want to go out there and hunt and making sure they understand we will never permit you not to have your gun legitimately goes a long way to saying this is not a party issue. it s a security issue as long as a liberty issue to have the right gun that you would like. look. we are not going to make this is not easy. but i do think after this tragedy in connecticut there could not be a better wake-up call for a dialogue about this. okay. admiral, thank you for joining us. thank you for having me again. up next, one week out from inauguration day. my fellow cyclists are excited and second terms have spelled trouble for past presidents so what s obama have to do to buck the trend? the answer, straight ahead in the guest spot.
