I spent 22 years in the United States military, so I'm a pretty strategic level thinker.

This is one thing that's very interesting, how the people on the left always talk about separation of church and state. When you look at the theocracies all across the Middle East, where we look at constitutions that are based upon the Qur'an, I don't think you want to see that happening in the United States of America. So it is a theocratic political construct.

It was the Democrats who were against civil rights legislation

When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.

I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.

I'm tired of liberals dividing this country up into little groups, setting them upon each other, breeding spite and envy, and then having the nerve to accuse conservatives of hatred.

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.
