We seem bent upon saving the Vietnamese from Ho Chi Minh, even if we have to kill them and demolish their country to do it....I do not intend to remain silent in the face of what I regard as a policy of madness which, sooner or later, will envelop my son and American youth by the millions for years to come.

Under the guise of protecting us from ourselves, the right and the left are becoming ever more aggressive in regulating behavior.

Somehow politicians have become convinced that negative campaigning pays off in elections.

Pay attention to the hungry, both in this country and around the world. Pay attention to the poor. Pay attention to our responsibilities for world peace. We are our brother's keeper.

We have the resources (to end hunger), we know what has to be done, and it's something that can be achieved at a rather modest cost

It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.
