Someone is an ignoramus who would say that, 'Oh, we had three hurricanes this year. This proves that somehow the climate is warming.' The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and you're going to say that we had four hurricanes and so it proves a theory?

Secretary [John] Kerry has called Civil War [in Syria] an unbelievably small war that we're going to get involved with.

The U.S. should never get involved where we have no clear national interest. We should not intervene militarily in a country like Syria, where we can’t separate friend from foe and might end up arming the very people who hate us the most.

The callous use of general warrants and the disregard for the Bill of Rights must end. Forcing us to choose between our rights and our safety is a false choice and we are better than that as a nation and as a people.

We need to be fearful of companies that get so big that they can actually be directing policy.

We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.

I think if we ban certain religions, if we censor the Internet, I think that at that point the terrorists will have won.
