boys politics looks
You have an imperial presidency that makes Richard Nixon look like a boy scout.
soldier gasoline hell
If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can.
suicide simple tolerance
There is a simple maxim that I use to express this situation, 'when tolerance becomes a one way street, it leads to cultural suicide.'
thinking law needs
Well, I think we need to have attrition by enforcement. We need to secure our borders. We need to enforce our laws.
compassion independence together
Conservatives understand that the power that binds our republic together is fierce independence held high on the shoulders of compassion.
white america black
Well, first of all, we've got to get away from being offended by the truth. We've seen a 41 percent increase in food stamp recipients across the United States of America since President Obama was sworn in in January 2009. That has nothing to do with black, white, Hispanic or whatever. It's a fact, and we need to, you know, deal with that.
health issues hydra
One of the critical issues that we have to confront is illegal immigration, because this is a multi-headed Hydra that affects our economy, our health care, our health care, our education systems, our national security, and also our local criminality.
thinking wind voice
I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.
mail stuff welfare
Where is love exchanged? Where is the love felt when a state administrator stuffs a welfare check into an outgoing mail?
thinking two voice
You had 42 blacks that ran on the Republican ticket this Cycle, 14 made of them made it to the general election and two of us made it to the House of Representatives. So I think that there is a new movement that needs to have a voice in the Congressional Black Caucus.
party believe progressive
I believe there's about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party. It's called the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
father commitment sacrifice
The great thing that I appreciate - the fact that my godfather, William 'Sticky' Jackson, was a Tuskegee Airman because my father was first born in Ozark, Alabama. The sacrifices and the commitment of those men made it possible for myself and many others.
oil issues florida
I'll give you a great example of an issue that no one brought up during this Florida primary, the fact that we're going to have a Chinese made oil rig put in place about 60 miles off the coast of Florida.
thinking work-out massachusetts
I think that Governor Romney needs to talk about the fact that what he tried to do in the state of Massachusetts was him seeing what could be best for his state, but maybe it didn't work out as well.
