We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.

If the Republicans think that by having stated and even achieved most of the Contract that they are therefore entitled to the acceptance and favor of the American voter, they're crazy.

We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas.

The concept of minimum wage is crazy, if you really stop to think about it. If $8 an hour seems right, why not $20 an hour? If its coming by order of the government, why stop at any level? Why not just say everyone should get what Gates gets?

Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification.

Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we're turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that's because we still have the opportunity here.

Being American is not a matter of birth. We must practice it every day, lest we become something else.
