kennedy was saying in the speech. timothy dolan had it right, he was saying that there should be a role but it shouldn't be an institutional role. rick is a good friend, i like rick a lot, he is, you know, i -- said he is remarkably consistent over the years in his speeches that is because he is coming from a world view. and his speeches come out of that world view. i think he has done a remarkable job on a shoestring budget. he has resurrected a political career that was dormant, and as his friend, i would say to him, you know, you ought to seriously consider leaving the race now, in eight years, he will be three years younger than romney is now, but, you know, running for president is a very personal decision, when to get out is a very personal decision, and he is going to have to make that. >> schieffer: well, you know, i could go on with this all of easter day, but we seem to have run out of time here. thank you all for a very fascinating but also to me a very enlightening discussion. and we will be back in a moment with a look at our google plus hangout. ,,,,,,,,,,,, cbs news and google have been embarked on a new par

assassinations with kennedy and/or false flag events and i would suggest we ought to look at the broader reality around just this narrow conspiracy yes or no theme. look at the discrediting of the institutionsby their own behavior and what might, what might be the remedy. i have to tell you my political agitation goes in the directions of the new deal, the policies for franklin d. roosevelt that were returned to policies that have served us well in the past, turning away from the extreme austrian libertarian views of ron paul, turning away from the methods that have failed us, turning away from the malfusian methods of the radical ecologist to dominate so much of the democratic party. in other words the reason people don't believe government, they don't believe medicine. the academy, all of these institutions are failing. they don't deliver the goods. they're lacking in legitimization because they don't deliver what people expect and i would suggest rather than trying to repress opinion with curriculum reforms are other things, let's look at the broader picture in society and what can actually be done there because it seems to me that is where it should be made.
