The Most Important Thing For Me Is Having A Relationship With God. To Know That The Owner, The Creator Of The Universe Loves You, Sent His Son To Die For Your Sins; That's Very Empowering. Knowing Him And Knowing That He Loves Me Gives Me Encouragement And Confidence To Move Forward.

I Would Prefer To Just Continue To Speak About Truth And To Speak About What Makes Sense.

I Always Pray For God's Guidance In My Life And He Always Provides It. He Opens The Right Doors He Shuts The Right Doors. And I Have Tremendous Faith In Him. He Just Guided My Career In An Amazing Way.

She [hillary Clinton] Is The Epitome Of The Progressive - The Secular Progressive Movement. And She Counts On The Fact That People Are Uninformed, The Alinsky Model, Taking Advantage Of Useful Idiots.

We Need To Understand That We Are Not Each Others' Enemies In This Country. And It Is Only The Political Class That Derives Its Power By Creating Friction. It Is Only The Media That Derives Its Importance By Creating Friction... That Uses Every Little Thing To Create This Chasm Between People. This Is Not Who We Are.

You Know, Many People Have Said That I'm On The Edge And I'm Maverick For Some Of The Big Operations That I've Done. I'm Not At All. I Pray; I Ask God To Give Me Wisdom, 'should I Do It?', Guidance In Terms Of How To Do It, Who To Consult With. All Those Kind Of Things Are Incredibly Important.

I'm Not Even Sure I Like Surgery, But I Like What It Does, I Like The Effects. I Like To Be Able To Give People Longevity And Quality Of Life, And I Also Think It's Good For People To Use The Special Gifts And Talents That They Have.

The Truth Is, The Liberal Policies Of The Elite Class Have Done Little To Improve The Lot Of Those Who Depend So Much On Them. In America's Black Communities, Where The Goodies Have Been Flowing For Decades, Rather Than Seeing Improvements In Terms Of Upward Mobility, We Are Seeing Deteriorating Family Structure, Increases In Violent Crimes, Growing Poverty, And Growing Dependence. Even With Such A Blatant Record Of Failure, There Is Slavish Devotion To The Elite Class Who Continue To Promise More Goodies In Exchange For Votes.

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? What's Going To Help The American People? What's Going To Give Them What They Need? Not Only In Health Care But In Terms Of Jobs, In Terms Of Education, In Terms Of A Whole Host Of Issues.

Of Course, No Religious Test For The Presidency - Every Faith Adds To Our National Character.
