America does not need to continue to have regime change throughout the world, nation-building.

I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back.

We have to have a more realistic foreign policy and not a utopian one where we say, oh, we're going to spread freedom and democracy, and everybody in the Middle East is going to love us. They are not going to love us.

Parents own the children, and it is an issue of freedom and public health.

I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids.

I think it's a huge mistake. I think regime change in Syria, and this is what - I've been saying this for several years now. In 2013 when we first went in, I said, you are going to give arms to the allies of al Qaida, to radical jihadists? That's crazy.

Fear & complacency allow power to accumulate & liberty & privacy to suffer
