home light government
The government taxes you when you bring home a paycheck. It taxes you when you make a phone call. It taxes you when you turn on a light. It taxes you when you sell a stock. It taxes you when you fill your car with gas. It taxes you when you ride a plane. It taxes you when you get married. Then it taxes you when you die. This is taxual insanity and it must end.
kings children character
I was taught to respect everyone for the simple reason that we're all God's children. I was taught, in the words of Martin Luther King, to judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. And I was taught that character is simply doing what's right when nobody's looking.
prayer war opportunity
There is a war being waged right now on prayer and religion by liberals who are taking every opportunity to make America as God-less as possible.
business thinking news
I think in politics, in Congress, you often do things that are Republican, or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good, obviously, and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business, there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.
years stills
I still get to preach 14, 15 times a year. But you have to make a living.
opportunity principles vote
Too many Americans live by Republican principles of faith, family, hope and opportunity, but vote for Democrats out of sheer habit.
dream names tolerance
The American dream does not happen by asking Americans to accept what's immoral and wrong in the name of tolerance.
california energy democrat
We have seen the Democrat solution to an energy crisis; it's called California.
past two america
The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can't Washington?
children giving black
You take a poor black child. Give him a good education, tell him he's somebody, that God didn't create junk when he created him, and that black child will create his own affirmative action.
party impact people
The Republican Party is terrific at determining how a program will impact the federal budget, but we're not nearly as good as the Democrats in explaining to people how our agenda will directly benefit them and their families.
humanness-is people political
We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.
crime incarceration direct
There is a direct correlation between education, stable families and incarceration and crime.
believe government numbers
Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers, if 'facts' are fictional, how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions?
