there is an incredible spark of fire of toleration that begins in new england and roger williams is,imself, a refugee from persecution from pure tan, massachusetts, but theitan, massachusetts, but the. crucial thing is jews had a hard time when nations and nation states have founded themselves on myths about soil, blood and tribe. we are never going to make people feel easy if essentially they are aiming to have a country built out of territory and one language and the sense in which you belong to an exclusive tribe to which people have to conform almost biologically. you know, the world now is still fighting those terrible battles. america is truly special because its founded on an idea. >> that's -- it's the ideological and fiphilosophical guard. it's again the only great country in the world that it, also, is formed out of words. so the union, the communion between american words and jewish words is a natural and surprisingly and remaining to this day absolutely unique. it's not surprising that the possibility of existing outside your own boundaries as part of other people from ot

it's just -- it's been in the last week i know they've moved roger williams and i pulled this up, roger williams was born in england, between 160 and 1606, he grew up a member of the privileged class, received an education -- this is if the capitol website. but he abandoned the study of law to become a priest in the church of england. he was interested in the puritan movement, the newly established massachusetts bay colony, he was warmly welcomed to the new world by massachusetts governor john winthrop, he arrived in boston, williams was an adamant separatist and accepted a post as assistant pastor in se lem, reputedly a friendly place, however his teachings were deemed radical and he was banished from the massachusetts bay colony in 1635. he founded the colony of rhode island in 1636 and i know it's up to every state, each state gets to choose which statues, which two statues you want to have and i look forward to him coming back, i'm sure they would never have permanently removed a statue of the founder of rhode island, there's nobody i can think of more appropriate but i just thought

is the majority of the supreme pilgrims, to say roger williams, all of you that brought us to the place where the freest, most successful country in the history of the world, those freedoms that you saw, that you prayed for, they're going away because now since the government has the power to tax it will have this power to destroy your religions and just -- as the gentlelady points out, why stop with $2,000? once the supreme court says this government has the power to tax you for -- to observe your religious beliefs, why not $10,000? why not $20,000? mrs. bachmann: express your religious beliefs is $36,500 per employee. the tax is $2,000 per employee if you decide you're not going to purchase health insurance. so it's extremely expensive. but i think the gentleman is raising an excellent point because to where do the people of this country repair? if we have a president whom many believe is no longer following the sfution of the united states under article 2 -- constitution of the united states under article 2, limitations of power, or if we look at the supreme court and the supreme cou

roger williams, would designate the facility of the united states postal service located at 232 southwestjohnson avenue in burleson, texas, as the sergeant william moody post office. as a fellow texan, i'm proud to join my colleague, mr. williams new york urging this body to name this postal facility in honor of sergeant william moody he went above and beyond the call of duty in both the u.s. army and the u.s. marine corps. he served two tours of duty in iraq while he was a marine and he was finishing his second and last tour of afghanistan with the army when the taliban rocket attack on bagram air force base took his life on june 18 of 2013. william moody was a 30-year-old husband and four of three. madam speaker, i was particularly touched to read about the special homecoming surprise that sergeant moody had in store for his family. while deployed in afghanistan, he contacted the fire department in burleson and asked if he could sur vise his children by picking them up from school in a fire truck on the day of his return. of course the chief of the firefighters responded with a resoundi

his first secretary of state, william rogers, the first diplomat to use the term palestinian tried to roll back the israelis but was immediately stymied by golda meyer. kissinger fared no better than rogers, he threw away washington's best opportunity to wring major, game-changing concessions from israel during the yom kippur war in 1973. nixon and kissinger authorized a massive air lift to tel aviv. instead of trading weapons and support for israeli concessions on land and refugees, the course actually advised by schlessinger gull my assumed that israeli gratitude would result in concessions after the war. before the war even ended, nixon realized his error. he'd made the israelis as he put it, quote, more difficult to deal with than ever before, unquote. during the crisis, schlessinger -- who had asked a principals meeting the following question -- is there a difference between defending israel and e defending israel's conquests? everyone in the room said, yes. well, then, schlessinger said, we should only ship the israelis con consumables, fuel and ammunition, and hold back the pla

williams on the scene in kiev. thank you. for more about the crisis in ukrainant american response, i'm joined by congressman mike rogers, chair of the house intelligence committee. there was talk yesterday and i want to ask you as intelligence chair, if you agree with what john mccain was pursuing in the senate when he was interviewing -- he was questioning, i should say, secretary hagel about the intelligence on all of this. did we not see this coming, the moves of russian forces into crimea? >> well, there were indicators, there were two pieces of analysis by two different agencies. one said they didn't believe they would move in in 24 hours and one said that the indicators could suggest that they would move in. nobody knew certainly definitively. and that's certainly a question. we're doing a pretty thorough review of that but there are lots of indicators to understand that, even before they went into the olympics in sochi, we knew the russians had an interest of ramping up all through intelligence collection and activities in the ukraine and many, including me were stating at the time, listen, right after -- we better wat
