I went to Brigham Young University on a football scholarship. I wasn't a football player; I was a place kicker.

In the urban community, the church doesn't just take people to Heaven; it feeds, clothes, and houses them. It teaches them how to read and gets them jobs. The church should be doing all that. What the government should be doing is freeing up the church and supporting the church, as long as it is providing social services.

So I describe myself as an economic liberal and a social conservative.
