We stand up and proudly proclaim that Washington is not our caretaker and we reject a state, in Margaret Thatcher's words, a state that takes too much from us to do too much for us.

You can always follow me on Tweeter.

I happily cling to my guns and my God, even if President Obama thinks that that is a simpleminded thing in his elitist heart.

We had a $10 billion budget deficit when we got here in January of 2003. We cut that budget deficit; we did not raise taxes; we came back in '05, and we had an $8 billion surplus. That's how fast it can happen.

Aggies have a really interesting way of admitting defeat. We've never been outscored. We just ran out of time.

I am proud to live in a country with an African-American president. But President Obama cannot be proud of the fact that the prevalence of black poverty has actually increased under his leadership. The specific policies advanced by the president and his allies on the left amount to little more than throwing money at the problem and walking away.

As long as it's not me, I'll be cool.
