All rights are individual. We do not get our rights because we belong to a group. Whether it's homosexuals, women, minorities, it leads us astray. You don't get your rights belonging to your group. A group can't force themselves on anybody else. So there should be no affirmative action for any group.

Big government flourishes under Republicans.

Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.

Everyone on the Commission assumes that 9/11 resulted from a lack of government action. No one in Washington has raised the question of whether our shortcomings, brought to light by 9/11, could have been a result of too much government.

I'm an imperfect messenger, but the message is perfect.

We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars.

When things go badly, individuals look for scapegoats. I just do not believe that barbed-wire fences or guns on our border will solve any of our problems.
