“No president has the right to say he is judge, jury and executioner.”

I think we need to treat everybody with dignity.

There is nothing conservative about bailing out Wall Street. Likewise, there is nothing progressive about billion dollar loans to millionaires to build solar panels.

I will not vote to send my sons, or your sons, daughters, brothers, sisters or friends to fight for a stalemate.

Inherent to socialism is the absence of choice. If I want to choose my own pretzels or books or iphones, they prevent me – they fine me, or imprison me. And those systems, not infrequently have historically, have developed into systems where there are programs.

It’s curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you’re saving money.

America’s not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act.

The Constitution was not written to restrain the citizen’s behavior, it was written to restrain the government’s behavior.

Let me be clear: I support the Civil Rights Act because I overwhelmingly agree with the intent of the legislation, which was to stop discrimination in the public sphere and halt the abhorrent practice of segregation and Jim Crow laws.

All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.

No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.

It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.

For liberty to expand, government must shrink. For the economy to grow, government must get out of the way.

We shouldn’t be fearful of freedom, we shouldn’t be fearful of individual liberty.

I don’t plan on being bashful.

I’m not in favor of any discrimination of any form.

A plan only makes sense when it is executed.

A plan only makes sense when it is executed.

I think every business is definitely different. There are certain businesses where execution is everything.

Having a vision for what you want is not enough. Vision without execution is hallucination.

Most states in the union where the death penalty is theoretically on the books don’t have executions.

Vision without execution is delusion.

Vision without execution is daydreaming.

Experience has taught us, that men will not adopt and carry into execution measures best calculated for their own good, without the intervention of a coercive power.
