It's a mistake to think that poor people get the benefit from the welfare system. It's a total fraud. Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators, it's totally out of control.

You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be protected.

Al-Awlaki was born here, he is an American citizen. He was never tried or charged for any crimes. No one knows if he killed anybody. We know he might have been associated with the underwear bomber.

If you want to regulate cigarettes and alcohol and drugs, it should be at the state level.
