We're Not Planning For The Future. If We Continue To Spend Ourselves Into Oblivion, We Are Going To Destroy This Nation.

Even If Somebody Disagrees With You, Their Life Is Still Valuable.

I Want The Government To Provide The Military So We Don't Get Invaded By Somebody And Destroyed. I Want The Government To Provide The Roads So I Can Get From Point A To B. In Terms Of Taking Care Of My Day To Day Needs, I Want To Do That Myself. I Want My Community To Do That.

Health Care Is One-sixth Of Our Economy. If The Government Can Control That, They Can Control Just About Everything. We Need To Understand What Is Going On, Because There Are Much More Economic Models That Can Be Used To Give Us Good Health Care Than What We Have Now.

Economic Models

No Matter How Good You Are At Planning, The Pressure Never Goes Away. So I Don't Fight It. I Feed Off It. I Turn Pressure Into Motivation To Do My Best.

When You Look At The Way The Pyramids Are Made, With Many Chambers That Are Hermetically Sealed, They Would Have To Be That Way For A Reason.

Let`s Teach Those People That When They Go To Work, They Get Skills, They Meet People, They Get Opportunities, They Get To Climb The Ladder, They Get Much Better Off Than The Person Who`s Just Sitting At Home Receiving Those Things.

Right Now, The United States Of America Is The Patient. And The Patient Is In Critical Condition And Will Not Be Cured By Political Correctness And Will Not Be Cured By Timidity.

We Have The World's Best Military, Even Though He (president Barack Obama) Has Done Everything He Can To Diminish It.

The Key Is To Cut Out The Middleman And Empower Both Doctor And Patient With Information About What Things Cost.

I'm A Part Of The Gop And Let Me Tell You What My Stance Is. My Stance Is That, We The People Have The Responsibility To Take Care Of The Indigent In Our Society. It's Not The Government's Job. You Can Read The Constitution All You Want, It Never Says That It Is The Government's Job And I Think Where We've Gotten Confused.

Occasionally I Talk With People Who See Doctors As People Who Do Nothing But Give Of Themselves And Never Receive From Anyone Else - Especially Not From Their Patients. That Is Totally False.

If We Can Take Young People Who Excel At The Highest Levels, Put Them On The Same Kind Of Pedestal As The All-state Basketball Player And The All-state Football Player, And Begin To Get The Same Kind Of Recognition, It Will Have A Profound Effect, And We Are Finding That It Does.

It's Not What You Do But That Kind Of Job You Do That Makes The Difference.

It Does Not Matter Where We Come From Or What We Look Like. If We Recognize Our Abilities, Are Willing To Learn And To Use What We Know In Helping Others, We Will Always Have A Place In The World.

Why Would I Want To Run For Congress And Continue To Get Tainted With All The Things That People Get Tainted With As They Come Along The System.

We'll Always Be Safe In Jesus Christ If We Place Our Faith In The Lord.

What You're Saying Is That 'i, The Superior Elite, Will Take Care Of You.' Why? Because, You See, That Superior, Elite Group Needs To Feel Superior And Elite. And They Can't Be Superior And Elite Unless You Have A Whole Lot Of People Down There Groveling Around. So You Keep Them Down There By Feeding Them.

Do Not Underestimate The Importance Of Feeling Special.

God Has Given To Every One Of Us More Than Fourteen Billion Cells And Connections In Our Brain. Now Why Would God Give Us Such A Complex Organ System Unless He Expects Us To Use It?

By Thinking Big, We Can Transform Our World.

I Think What's Happening With The Veterans Is A Gift From God To Show Us What Happens When You Take Layers And Layers Of Bureaucracy And Place Them Between The Patients And The Health Care Provider. And If We Can't Get It Right, With The Relatively Small Number Of Veterans, How In The World Are You Going To Do It With The Entire Population?

If We Allow Ourselves To Dwell On Negatives, On Hurts, On Mistreatments, We Will Be Negative Thinkers. So Be Open To Positive Thinking, Think Big!

Positive Thinking

An Important Verity About Knowledge Is That The Brain Works Most Effectively With Consciously Retained Information. We More Easily Remember What We Want To Recall Later. When We Feed Our Fourteen Billion Brain Cells With Information That Will Enrich Us And Help Others, We Are Really Learning To Think Big.

I Consider Myself A Logical Person And, You Know, A Lot Of People Try To Categorize Me In One Way Or Another. You Know, There Are Some Of The Things That I Say That Probably Would Be Considered Very Much Non-conservative. But I Don't Think Really Conservative Or Liberal; I Think: What Makes Sense?

It's Very Difficult To Speak To A Large Group Of People These Days And Not Offend Someone.

We Seem To Be Afraid To Give The Kurds Weaponry. We Like To Send It For Some Strange Reason Through Baghdad, And Then They Only Get A Tenth Of It.

I Think It Would Be A Wonderful Thing If We Bring Back Our Judeo-christian Values Once Again. I Think It Could Do Nothing But Help Us. I Would Be All In Favor Of That.

To Think Big And To Use Our Talents Doesn't Mean We Won't Have Difficulties Along The Way. We Will - We All Do... If We Choose To See The Obstacles In Our Path As Barriers, We Stop Trying. "we Can't Win," We Moan. "they Won't Let Us Win."

This Whole Concept Of Boots On The Ground, We've Got A Phobia About Boots On The Ground.

Politics Is Corrupting The American Judicial System In Much The Same Way The Judicial System Was Corrupted In Nazi Germany.
