The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them.
In this global war against extremists who use murder as a weapon, Iraq is now the central front.
We need common-sense judges who understand our rights were derived from God.
I want the Iraqis to understand that we are with them and that they have to make tough decisions, and we’ll help them make those tough decisions for this country, for this democracy to survive. And they’ve made some tough decisions.
Our law enforcement must have every tool necessary to find and disrupt terrorists at home and abroad. That’s the task of the 21st century.
Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called ‘walking.’
You see, we’ll never be able to compete in the 21st century unless we have an education system that doesn’t quit on children, an education system that raises standards, an education that makes sure there’s excellence in every classroom.
All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith – face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It’s a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It’s a faith based upon love, not hate.
America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienable right for life. This right to life cannot be granted or denied by government because it does not come from government, it comes from the creator of life.
We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.
When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.
Every action being taken against terrorists requires court order, requires scrutiny.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.
Rarely is the question asked: Are our children learning?
I think our seniors deserve a modern medical system.
Education is how to help the person who’s lost a job. Education is how to make sure we’ve got a workforce that’s productive and competitive.
People love America. Sometimes they don’t like the decisions made by America, but I don’t think you want a president who tries to become popular and does the wrong thing.
America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.
All across America, we gather this week with the people we love to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives.
I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.
