I Am Asking The Congress, Which Represents The People, To Declare A War On Isis So That We Can Begin The Process Of Excising That Cancer And Begin The Healing Process, And Bring Peace, Prosperity, And Safety Back To America.

Intelligent People Tend To Talk About The Facts. They Don't Sit Around And Call Each Other Names. That's What You Can Find On A Third Grade Playground.

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.

(i'm) The Only One To Take Out Half A Brain, Although You Would Think, If You Go To Washington, That Someone Had Beat Me To It.

I'm Convinced That We All Harvest The Fruits Of Our Labors.

My Strong Belief Is That God Created Human Beings And Therefore He Knows About Every Aspect Of The Human Body. So If I Want To Fix It, I Just Need To Stay In Harmony With Him.

I Consider Myself A Logical Person And, You Know, A Lot Of People Try To Categorize Me In One Way Or Another.

Because 9/11 Is An Isolated Incident. Things That Are Isolated Issues As Opposed To Things That Fundamentally Change The United Sates Of America And Shift Power From The People To The Government. That Is A Huge Shift. You Have To Take A Long-term Look At Something That Fundamentally Changes The Power Structure Of America.

We Need To Be On A War Footing. We Need To Understand That Our Nation Is In Grave Danger.

Call It Whatever You Need To Call It To Make It Feel Good To You. But The Fact Of The Matter Is, I've Been In Lots Of Place Growing Up And Listening To People Tell Great Tales Of Sexual Conquest. It Is An Immature Thing To Do -

Now If You Not Only Support Them Through That Pregnancy, But Now Provide Childcare For Them So They Can Go Back To School And Get Their Ged Or Their Associate's Degree Or Bachelor's Degree Or Their Master's Degree, Learn How To Take Care Of Themselves, Teach Their Baby How To Take Care Of Themselves So That You Break The Cycle Of The Dependency.

I Detest Politics, To Be Honest With You. It's A Cesspool. And I Don't Think I Would Fare Well In That Cesspool Because I Don't Believe In Political Correctness And I Certainly Don't Believe In Dishonesty.

I Find The Big Bang, Really Quite Fascinating. I Mean, Here You Have All These Highfalutin Scientists And They're Saying It Was This Gigantic Explosion And Everything Came Into Perfect Order. Now These Are The Same Scientists That Go Around Touting The Second Law Of Thermodynamics, Which Is Entropy, Which Says That Things Move Toward A State Of Disorganization.

Quite Frankly, Having An Uninformed Populace Works Extremely Well, Particularly When You Have A Media That Doesn't Understand Its Responsibility And Feels More Like It's An Arm Of A Political Party. They Can Really Take Advantage Of An Uninformed Populace.

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.

No Matter Who You Are,no Matter What You Do-do Not Be Too Big For God.

If I Had A Little Kid In Kindergarten Somewhere, Would Feel Much More Comfortable If I Knew On That Campus There Was A Police Officer Or Somebody Who Was Trained With A Weapon. I Would Feel More Comfortable.

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.

So After A While, If People Won't Accept Your Excuses, You Stop Looking For Them.

I Began To Realize That Poverty Was Really More Of A Choice Than Anything Else And That I Could Change That. And It Just Really Depended On How Hard I Wanted To Work.

America Need A Significantly Changed Taxation System. And The One That I've Advocated Is Based On Tithing, Because I Think God Is A Pretty Fair Guy. If You Give Me A Tithe, It Doesn't Matter How Much You Make. If You've Had A Bumper Crop, You Don't Owe Me Triple Tithes. And If You've Had No Crops At All, You Don't Owe Me No Tithes. So There Must Be Something Inherently Fair About It.

In Order To Have Good Health Care You Need A Patient And You Need A Health Care Provider.

There's No Question That As Science, Knowledge And Technology Advance, That We Will Attempt To Do More Significant Things. And There's No Question That We Will Always Have To Temper Those Things With Ethics.

Significant Things

When I Treat Other People With Kindness And Love, It Is Part Of My Way Of Paying My Debt To God And The World For The Privilege Of Living On This Planet.
