yes, we have terrible problem, yes they've undermind our liberty. but we still have some left. we're still in this room, we still have the opportunity to let different people in washington. right now we have a tremendous opportunity. because the evidence is crystal clear. but the views of the last century almost, at least 70 years, 80 years on foreign policy, that evidence is in. they have failed! [cheers and applause] we must remember that armies cannot stop an idea. the time has come. i believe our ideas, our time has come. [cheers and applause] the country is waking up do to all the evidence we see, the political landscape is changing. they're december pratly struggling for that one single candidate that will capture all of america can represent the status quo. it doesn't look like they're finding one very easy which opens up the door for us, i really believe it. [cheers and applause] but the great strides have been made at the grass roots, the tea party movement and the changes going on. this is all beneficial. there's a good reason why the tea party movement arose. it isn'

one of the questions last week when the speak he was having trouble was his leadership is somehow undermind? is that the case or would this vote tonight, does john boehner prove he's in control of his caucus and the house? >> he had a near death experience over the last couple weeks, but i think he survived it and he strengthed that he got his plan through and he got this compromise while eric and a lot of other conservatives are not happy, there are going to be a great number of conservatives around the country who are going to think, absent john boehner this may not have happened. the tragedy will be -- if the president and john boehner had not been able to cut that deal that they were willing to talk about a $4 trillion deal, it would have included some tax revenues i thought were fair, more than that, it would have been $4 trillion in one fell swoop, we wouldn't have this uncertainty now sur rounding a congressional committee and what's still coming, which i believe is going to cause containment on the investment community at a time we need to light a fire. >> how much of this in the ec

they won't be able that narrative is completely undermind when you put that along with the killing ofsay this person doesn't, you know, know how to protect american security? >> yeah. i have to ask you, 25 years ago when ronald reagan ordered the bombing to kill gadhafi in libya which was not successful, was there the political wrangling is going on now? the monday morning quarterbacking, the armchair guessing and the critique that is taking place. is this just familiar to you in any way? >> no. i mean, you know, we used to say that politics stopped at the water's edge. somehow or another we got politics into everything. i mean when reagan did it, people said well it's about time because this guy had killed, you know, several american servicemen in a nightclub in germany. his planes had come out against our navy aircraft carriers and people were all for it. we were frustrated because we didn't get them. we couldn't get cooperation from the french at the time. we had to fly around around france and through the mediterranean. and somebody tipped them off whether we were on the way. so m

. >> when you see this happening over and over it starts to undermind the credibility.tes for issues that aren't important to the things they want to be talking about. this yes, this is a throw away. the real issues that matter these little mistakes start really adding up. >> and no matter how much support you may have once you get there on the campaign trail officially once you are in the microscope is on. >> the microscope is always on. everything is looked at as parted and edgage rated and you need to be on top of your game and stick to the points that you master and know history and fact check. >> and don't get off and trails. >> it thank you for weighing in. >> thank you so much. >> shannon: we asked, you answered. your answers to our twitter question, next.

are allowed to live the life you want to live, but don't try to reorder society in a way that can undermind the basic structure values of faith and of education, and of family. >> you've said, and it was in today's register in fact, something about preschools or education in general usurping the role of family. can you expand what you mean by that? >> sure. i take about this all the time. who is responsible for educating your children. you are. parents are. the government is there to help you do what is your responsibility. we have been -- some, you know, have been convinced that it's government's role to educate your children and many in government believe it's government's recall to educate your children, and i think that's just a foundationally flawed approach. parents should have the responsibility, and therefore should have the right to structure the educational environment and have the cooperation of the state, not the resistance of the state to do so in a way consistent with what they believe is in the best interest of their children. why? because they know their children and their n

when there's forces in the world that want to gain towards that and have been undermind in the effortsto do so. we, as the west, have the responsibility to support them in a diplomatic way and if necessary, as a last resort, in a military way. >> yes, ambassador? >> hi. dan freed, department of state and former colleague of two of the panels. >> [inaudible] >> i called him my boss. >> this conversation is much too gloomy for my tastes. you would think that nato just failed in libya, all right? the problems -- i'll do to frank's arguments and the gloomy's argument what he did to damon -- accept them followed by a "but," by which i mean i'm going to try to undercut them. [laughter] >> i said it's the oldest bureaucratic trick in the book. >> yeah. [laughter] >> look, there's a serious problem of an inward looking tendency on both sides of the atlantic. we see it in isolationism within certain elements of the republican party, fatigue, certain parts of the democrats and in europe, across the board, and in german policy in particular, and that's been well outlined. that's a real problem, b

thing as right and wrong or personal responsibility, moral relativism, all the things that will undermind this country to its core in which 75%-80% of the american people don't believe. that is said not to be a political issue, but it is a political issue. unfortunately, the lying comes from everyone. the belief is if they get away with it, we'll take it. until we demand something different, that is a problem. the next is the great poisen killing the country is corruption. it is entered by corrupting the political system which is what holds this country together in idea. we corrupt the every institution. you do not any wall street could have done what it did to america if politics hasn't been corrupted first. they allowed wall street to buy both parties. republicans were the stupid ones to defend wall street, the democrats raised money and attacked them, raised more than republicans do, but they can't do better. fannie and freddy, the greatest single scandal in the history of the united states and combined all scandals together, they would like like a teacup compared to fannie and freddy
