It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I'm supposed to think.

I don't really have the luxury to be bitter. I don't have the luxury of having negative things in my life.

I certainly have some very strong libertarian leanings, yes.

But what I believe is that if a person's individual rights or right to be a part of our economic system is violated under statute, we aggressively go after it. But we don't issue mandates to businesses that you've got to do this and you've got to do that.

Religious liberty is about freedom of action in matters of religion generally, and the scope of that liberty is directly correlated to the civil restraints placed upon religious practice.

I have to admit that I'm one of those people that thinks the dishwasher is a miracle.

Perhaps some are confused because they have stereotypes of how blacks should be and I respectfully decline, as I did in my youth, to sacrifice who I am for who they think I should be.
