There's a lot of negative things trying to pull people down, and I think people respond when you tell them that hey, there are good things up ahead.

I think, for years, people have been pushed down by religion, and I don't say that disrespectfully, but they've been shown a God that you can't measure up to.

I think sometimes the critics want me to beat people down, and that's not in me. I want to lift people up.

I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it - I think that's important.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

I'm not sure what Al Gore did for peace. I don't think he have been high on my list for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

I think Israel should be treated as an independent nation and not a puppet of our state.

I think the policy makers like the idea of being the boss. I mean people who like to boss other people around like to go into politics so they can become the boss.

You know, the greatest hoax I think that has been around in many, many years if not hundreds of years has been this hoax on the environment and global warming. You notice they don't call it global warming anymore. It's weather control.

I think it's a theory, the theory of evolution and I don't accept it as a theory.

Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution. This is why they revolted in the first place... They revolted against much more mild oppression.

I'm all for raw milk. I think you should make your own choice on whether you drink raw milk or not.

If you give up on your principles I don’t think that’s being pragmatic... Doing the wrong thing, even partially, isn’t being practical...if you have the right ideas and are forceful enough...I think you can get the support you need.

I'd like to think of myself as the flavor of the decade.

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties, so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.

Well, I don't think we should go to the moon. I think we maybe should send some politicians up there.

I'm convinced that you never have to give up liberties to be safe. I think you're less safe when you give up your liberties.

Why is it that some people, you know, think we should obey the Constitution sometimes and not other times.

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. But if the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys, I think it's sad.

There's capital controls and there's people control. So every time you think of a fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us, keeping us in.

Do they think if we destroy our freedoms for the terrorists they will no longer have a reason to attack us?

I see this piece of legislation as essentially being a declaration of virtual war. It is giving the President tremendous powers to pursue war efforts against a sovereign nation. ...I think it is another example of a flawed foreign policy that we have followed for a good many decades.

Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.
