We have truly dodged a major bullet here,
We fully understand that it's hard to maintain order if you don't have fuel for your cars and first responders,
I learned that not everyone values life like we do in America, or the rights that are endowed to every human being by a loving God.
Our shared conservative values, our belief in the individual is the great hope of our nation.
We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.
Vladimir Putin uses energy to hold our allies hostage. If energy is going to be used as a weapon, I say America must have the largest arsenal.
We have the power to make things new again. To project American strength again, to get our economy going again.
Our best days are in front of us. We can reform those entitlements, we can change that corporate tax code and lower it. We can put America back on track on a growth level and a growth rate that we've never seen in the history of this country.
Running for the presidency's not an IQ test,
I may have the genetic coding that Im inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way.
Religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion.
I'm actually for gun control -- use both hands.
We don't have to apologize for American exceptionalism or western values.
When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.
