The best way is to say that as a Christian for me the essence of Christian faith is that you treat others as if you wish to be treated.

Ronald Reagan said "trust, but verify." President [Barack] Obama is "trust, but vilify." He trusts our enemies and vilifies everyone who disagrees with him.

My purpose is to make sure that we protect every American, wherever that American is, and if an American is calling out for help, whether it's in Benghazi or at the border, then we ought to be able to answer it.

I'm not ashamed of the things I believe and why I believe them.

I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives.

All of my children are ideologically and politically in sync with me, they all have authentic Christian faith. It's something I'm very grateful for.

Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce. It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973.
