christian thinking asking
I think the question is who am I? That's what we all should be asking ourselves. Who am I? Well, if I am first a Christian conservative then that dictates my response to all questions so my response first as a Christian conservative is to vote consistent with my value system.
party thinking stronger
I think when you look to the future what you'll find is that the Republican Party is building a bigger party base on stronger values.
believe thinking problem
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
thinking media yellow
Certainly I feel like I'm the tip of the arrow at times because certainly the national media wants to talk about the fact that I'm a black Republican and some people think of that as zany that a black person would be a conservative but to me what is zany is any person black, white, red, brown or yellow not being a conservative.
thinking government matter
The fact of the matter is that hope comes from many sources. I think depending on the federal government to be some sort of a savior is false hope.
country believe thinking
I don't necessarily believe there's a message in the fact that I'm an African-American Republican. I think there is a message that America as a whole, we are now awake. We are looking at a political construct and we're fairly disappointed. I think the message is no matter where you come from in this country, there is great potential.
thinking years grandfather
I think about my grandfather who's 89 years old, and the last thing he needs is more money out of his pocket.
thinking roles citizens
I think the nation as a whole has a role in making sure that each individual, each citizen maximizes one's potential.

I think the sidewalk program definitely needs to come back and I think that we need to get back on track, and on new developments we need to make sure sidewalks are part of that new development.
knees life lord master remember
I remember walking down the aisle, and I got down on my knees as a person who is so selfish, but when I rose back up the Lord had become the Master of my life.
competition eliminate order position profit prosperity sure trajectory turn
Our position should not be on how to eliminate the competition at all expenses, but we should focus on what we're going to do in order to make sure that Americans turn to the road of prosperity with the trajectory of capitalism, because making a profit is not an evil.
across apartments classrooms conference created government studio success
Success is created in studio apartments and garages, at kitchen tables, and in classrooms across the nation, not in government conference rooms in Washington.
agenda dominating happens issue issues outlets passionate republican specific talk
I'm not looking to be dominating all the media outlets ... to talk about any issue just to be on TV, I'm not your guy. I'm not going to be 'the black Republican'. I'm going to be a Republican who happens to be black who will talk about issues that I'm passionate about that are specific to the agenda that I want to accomplish.
god guy ordinary serving tim
