You cannot get ahead while you are getting even.

Programs that pay farmers not to farm often devastate rural areas. The reductions hurt everyone from fertilizer companies to tractor salesmen.

Spike Lee is obviously more stupid than anyone can be by accident.

Hillary Clinton bothers me a lot. I realized the other day that her thoughts sound a lot like Karl Marx. She hangs around a lot of Marxists. All her friends are Marxists.

I don't believe America will justifiably make an unprovoked attack on another nation. It would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or what we should be as a nation.

My own view would be to let Saddam bluster, let him rant and rave all he wants. As long as he behaves himself within his own borders, we should not be addressing any attack or resources against him.

Politics will sooner or later make fools of everybody.

The Democratic Party has pretty much abandoned all the things that they cherish.

Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians. All three need supervision.
