Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.

The measure of a man is not how great his faith is, but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.

They said that I had sold out and (am an) Uncle Tom. And I said well, they deserve to have that view. But I have my thoughts. And I think they're race-hustling poverty pimps.

It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.

I like to call the ethos I grew up with 'Oklahoma values.' But you'd be just as accurate if you said 'American values.' Except for our lack of a seacoast, Oklahoma has a little bit of just about everything that's American.

We need to make sure that every child in America goes to a school every day that is safe, will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and gain the computer skills necessary to allow them to compete in the global marketplace. If we can get that through the public schools, fine. If we can't, I'm all for parental choice in education to allow that parent to take his/her/their child to a school that is safe and teaches them, even if it is a faith-based school!

Everything I am I owe to my faith and secondly to parents who were old school.
