I've been fighting amidst a lot of opposition from both Hillary Clinton as well as some Republicans who wanted to send arms to the allies of ISIS. ISIS rides around in a billion dollars worth of U.S. Humvees. It's a disgrace. We've got to stop - we shouldn't fund our enemies, for goodness sakes.

I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America.

Was anybody else bothered by the sight of mine-resistant vehicles and guns pointed at unarmed men in Ferguson?

Mandatory minimum sentencing has disproportionately affected blacks, Hispanics and others who often don't have the financial means to fight back.

I'm not questioning Dick Cheney's motives. There's a chance for a conflict of interest. At one point in time, he was opposed to going into Baghdad. Then he was out of office and involved in the defense industry, and then he became for going into Baghdad.

I have a biology degree, okay?

In the search for culpability for the tragedy in Ferguson, I mostly blame politicians.

If U.S. occupation is a primary recruitment tool and what inspires Islamic terrorists, are many of our current efforts overseas actually fighting terrorism and diminishing the threat?

We've gone too far in thinking we can re-create an American democratic paradise in the Middle East.

I think the key to getting rid of illegal immigration, no matter where its coming from, is that you need to have a good legal apparatus for immigration.

I'm not someone who's sort of still trying to figure out what I believe in.

You don't set up an implicit promise from the federal government that everybody is getting bailed out.

What America needs is not just another politician or more promises. What America needs is a revival.

No American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found guilty of a crime by a court.

Democrats in Louisville were led by Courier-Journal editor Henry Watterson and were implacably opposed to blacks voting.
