When I became 21, I decided that nobody learned anything about politics after the age of 21.

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith.

Government should enforce rule of law. It should enforce contracts, it should protect people bodily from being attacked by criminals. And when the government does those things, it is facilitating liberty. When it goes beyond those things, it becomes destructive to both human happiness and human liberty.

Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans. Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant, but when they've been fixed, then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful. They don't go around peeing on the furniture and such.

Clinton and Obama practice this politics known quaintly as the Richard Speck strategy: if you cannot take on everyone in the room at once, take them out of the room one at a time.

Less government, less regulation, lower taxes.
