Particularly black Americans, many of them, from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had, are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage.

- Catholics and evangelicals need to remain allied, and in solidarity, against the increasingly aggressive secularism of our age.
- I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith.
- The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidate's faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values.
