All I did was tell the truth. That's is what the whole show is about! And if Politically Incorrect has to go down for it, so be it!
If we were a dog and God owned us, the cops would come and take us away.
If you have a gun, you can rob a bank, but if you have a bank, you can rob everyone.
The politicians are no prizes, but the people are even worse, they're so ill-informed. I never understand the pushback when I say people are stupid.
Americans are used to being pandered to and spoon-fed everything. In a culture that needs caffeine-free cherry chocolate diet Coke, you'd best deliver information with entertainment.
If you came into the theater believing in the talking snake, it's kind of hard to leave the theater still believing in the talking snake.
I'm not a joiner. I don't like organizations.
Whatever good religion has done, it has come at a terrible price.
[Being a] conservative also used to involve the concept of people being free to do whatever they want to do, as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else. Conservatives used to be very libertarian.
People say to me all the time, "I get my news from your show." And that isn't the way they should get their news.

I don't think George Bush is a good president by any imagination, but when he said, 'If you're talking to Al-Quaeda, we want to know what it's about,' it just proves one thing: If you're president long enough, you will one day say something that is true.
