All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.
I don’t think I’ve ever used the word ‘gay rights,’ because I don’t really believe in rights based on your behavior.
I’m not opposed to letting people work and labor in our country, but we shouldn’t provide an easy route to citizenship. We’re the only country I know of where a person can come in illegally and that baby becomes a citizen and I think that should stop also.
Republicans who criticize the use of two languages, I think, make a great mistake.
In a reality, what we should be doing is having quiet diplomacy with the Russians to convince them that it’s in their self-interest to have a more stable Middle East because trade enriches us all.
I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts...
The First Amendment says keep government out of religion. It doesn’t say keep religion out of government.
Perhaps it is time to be more careful what we ask government to do, and where we allow it to become part of our lives.
For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, ‘you don’t build that.’
America’s not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.
I read all of Ayn Rand’s novels when I was 17.
I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We’ve come to take our government back.
I would never belong to any club that excluded anybody for race.
A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.
Who gets to decide who’s an enemy combatant and who’s an American citizen? Are we really so frightened and so easily frightened that we would give up a thousand-year history?
The history of African-American repression in this country rose from government-sanctioned racism. Jim Crow laws were a product of bigoted state and local governments.
What is immoral for an individual to do, is immoral for a government to do.
I would have voted ‘no’ on the Iraq war and ‘yes’ to Afghanistan.
The most important thing you will do is yet to be seen. For me, I found my important thing to do when I learned to do surgery on the eye, when I learned to restore a person’s vision.
Let me be clear: I support the Civil Rights Act because I overwhelmingly agree with the intent of the legislation, which was to stop discrimination in the public sphere and halt the abhorrent practice of segregation and Jim Crow laws.
