We can program ourselves to be the person we want to be, whatever the subject matter is, live in it by a mental physical program - a system of learning and doing.

An enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of Americans.
I say thank God for government waste. If government is doing bad things, it's only the waste that prevents the harm from being greater.
The program grew out of a desire to address a gap identified after 9/11 ... The program does not involve the NSA examining the phone records of ordinary Americans.
