thinking phones people
I think the vast majority of the American people say you shouldn't be able to collect my phone records if I'm not suspicious, if you don't have probable cause.
country mistake thinking
I would have handled it differently than the mayor of Baltimore, that's for sure. I think it's a mistake to say, hey, guys, you can pillage the city for a while and we'll let that go, and we'll be sort of standing back. I think it's also important to know some of the underlying causes of why there's unease in our country.
accusing
I'm not accusing anybody of being [Hitler],
teaching thinking hatred
I think Saudi Arabia often finances radical Islam and the teaching of hatred to the West and hatred of Americans. I think it is important that we know that. It's important that we know that there is a threat within and a threat without. I think we can stop it with more aggressive use of actual constitutional tools.
order years nsa
The president began this program by executive order. He should immediately end it by executive order. For over a year now, he has said the program is illegal, and yet he does nothing.
nsa rights able
I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go unchallenged. At the very least, we should debate. We should debate whether or not we are going to relinquish our rights, or whether or not we are going to have a full and able debate over whether or not we can live within the Constitution, or whether or not we have to go around the Constitution.
jobs hate people
Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?
thinking needs threat
I think we're never fully protected, but I think we need to do everything we can to stop threats to us.
novel
I read all of Ayn Rand's novels when I was 17.
issues levels crime
All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.
plans bashful
I don't plan on being bashful.
country southern needs
We still need to secure our southern border. The other thing I would say is we need to secure who visits us in the country.
wall dollars conservative
There is nothing conservative about bailing out Wall Street. Likewise, there is nothing progressive about billion dollar loans to millionaires to build solar panels.
jobs party opportunity
We need a Republican Party that shows up on the South side of Chicago and shouts at the top of our lungs, 'We are the party of jobs and opportunity! The GOP is the ticket to the middle class.
