I do oppose repealing Obamacare, because it's working for growing numbers of previously uninsured Americans.

If we have intelligence on the location of terrorist training centers, it is insane not to act.

We need to gather intelligence, but we need to do so legally.

Ever since 9/11, our intelligence agencies, as part of the 'war on terror,' have expanded their operations to include American citizens. I was 'terrorized' when I learned that the National Security Agency was intercepting information on Americans.

Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.

People like to do politics with me, and they like to do business.

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

The first duty of a government is to maintain law and order so that the life, property, and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the State.
