Our best days are in front of us. We can reform those entitlements, we can change that corporate tax code and lower it. We can put America back on track on a growth level and a growth rate that we've never seen in the history of this country.
Vladimir Putin uses energy to hold our allies hostage. If energy is going to be used as a weapon, I say America must have the largest arsenal.
I know something. America is not broken, Washington, D.C. is broken.
Spreading the wealth punishes success while setting America on course for a greater dependency on government.
In America, the people are not subjects of government, the government is subject to the people.
Page one of any economic plan to get America working is to give a pink slip to the current resident in the White House.
I think Barack Obama is a socialist. I think he cares for his country - don't get me wrong about that - but I think he truly misunderstands what this country was based upon, the values that America was based upon, which was free enterprise and having the ability to risk your capital and having a chance to have a return on your investment.

It is time to let America be America again. To return freedom to the people. To stand on our founding principles and reject the cynical politics of the Nanny State.
Admit it America - 2008 was our national 'oops' moment!
The citizens of America and the citizens of Texas expect to be able to live in safety in their communities. That's what the rule of law is truly all about.
We don't have to apologize for American exceptionalism or western values.
