Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.

You don't need lawyers making laws. Regular citizens can make laws. Let the lawyers work under the laws.

Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens.

I will criticize President Obama on this level: it's a good thing I'm not president because I would prosecute every person that was involved in that torture. I would prosecute the people that did it. I would prosecute the people that ordered it. Because torture is against the law.

There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.

If I can get on the presidential ballot in all 50 states and be allowed into the debates, I'd not only run, I'd win.

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.
