Country comes before politics.
I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don't. What we [America] did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism ---and by doing what we did in Iraq, we've managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism.
The Statue of Liberty means everything. We take it for granted today. We take it for granted. Remember the Statue of Liberty stands for what America is. We as Democrats have to remind ourselves and remind the country the great principles we stand for. This is a place of protection. This is not a country of bullies. We are not an empire. We are the light. We are the Statue of Liberty.
In one generation, my family went from extermination simply because of how they pray to God to this ridiculously privileged life I live today. So how can I not love America?
My campaign is based upon the proposition that the answers to the problems which currently plague our cities, our towns, and our homes, are not to be found in the decisions in Washington. They are instead to be found in the hearts, minds and resources of our own people here at home.
I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.
I like the idea that there's no censorship, because it's consistent with my views that we live in a free society and people ought to be able to express their views.
The overarching issue, as I see it, is the elitism of America's political system; the fact that regular, ordinary Americans aren't considered in policy debates or legislation, and regularly get shafted by the powers-that-be in Washington.
I'm not conflicted. Because I know. There's me, and there's the show.
Somewhere in the land, a monster lurked.
I can't imagine anybody who has spoken to more, or presented more non-famous people on television in the history of the world.
It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.
[Invading Iraq] would create generations that hated the USA.
To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.
