I know, to say that people should learn English, should learn American exceptionalism, shouldn’t come here to use our freedoms to undermine the freedoms we give to everybody. But there’s nothing wrong with saying people who want to come here should want to be Americans.
I’m so tired of the left trying to divide us by race. One of the things I said today in my speech, we’re not Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Irish-Americans, rich Americans, poor Americans. We’re all Americans.
I think we can have religious liberty without discrimination. My views on marriage aren’t evolving with the polls. It’s based on my faith, I think it should remain between a man and a woman.
India, in particular, is looking to develop nuclear power for domestic, commercial use, and we should work with them. This is a good deal for both countries.
As we embrace the American dream and the freedoms it represents, we must also ensure that those who wish to enjoy those freedoms become a part of our society and learn to speak our language.
I think that local school districts – not the federal government – should make the decision about how they teach science, biology, economics. I want my kids to be taught about evolution; I want my kids to be taught about other theories.
On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.
We want the best things for our kids. We want the rules to be fair. If they work hard, get a great education, they should be able to join the middle class.
Finally, we should help developing nations like China and India curb their exponentially increasing consumption of oil and natural gas, which is driving world prices higher.
In fact, I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.
When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty.
I think we’ll have a bigger conversation first within the Republican Party, then with the American people about what’s the proper role of the federal government.
Three elections later, the president’s party has lost 70 House seats and 14 Senate seats. The job of Republicans now is to govern with the confidence that elections do have consequences, promptly passing the conservative reform the voters have demanded.
Anybody who spends time off of Louisiana’s shores can recognize that these oysters are not endangered. To classify them as such risks great harm to not only fishermen who make their living collecting oysters in the Gulf, but also to Louisiana’s economy in total.
