Its amazing that so many kids turn out to be fairly normal, considering the weird socialization they get in public schools.

My colleague Senator John Ensign of Nevada told me a story that epitomizes the selfishness of our culture: When I was a teenager, I had a sticker in my car with a picture of a bear scratching himself on the tree, and under it was the saying, 'If it feels good, do it!' That was the motto of the '60s and the '70s, and certainly it is the motto today. The image of the bear scratching himself highlights a view of human beings as animals, and that people should do what pleases them at the moment without a thought to the broader long-term consequences of their actions.

The more money you take away from families is the less power that family has. And that's a basic power.

I smoked pot and that was something that I did when I was in college. It was something that I’m not proud of, but I did.
