I've never been arrested in my life. Never had cuffs put on me, never been charged with a crime, never spent one day in jail.
The communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it.
When you reach a certain age in life, time becomes more important than money, and I think that happens in your 50s.
It seems that elections today are more popularity than they are substantial issues.
I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!
As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals.
After Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, I was heartened to see him issue an Open Government Initiative on his first full day in office.
The Constitution guarantees us our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That's all. It doesn't guarantee our rights to charity.
Liberty is security. Freedom is security.
You can't legislate morality.
Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens.
The news used to be to report facts and allow you to make the decision.
Republicans are not a political party. It's a mental condition.
All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.
I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective.
I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book 'War is a Racket.'
Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.
Industrial hemp is a very useful plant. I challenged the attorney general to get rid of the criminal stigma associated with hemp so we can look at it in terms of how it might be useful.
When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other.
If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.
I'm a warrior at heart; I'm an ex-Navy Seal. I'm too old to wage war anymore, and so now I wage it mentally. And so I find politics very stimulating; it's war without guns.
I'm tolerant of all religions... I don't care if someone wants to go out there and worship the bark on a tree.
In wrestling, my mustache made me look more like a villain. A good mustache can give you the look of the devil.
You can have solid third party politics, but the problem is you're all lumped in to all the fringe groups. That's a stereotype that happens.
I love fat people. Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.
I think they should let gays in the military because we are the United States of America. And if a gay person wants to serve his or her country, why should they not be allowed to?
I have metal in my body, so every time I go to an airport, the metal detector goes off.
I could never be a career politician, because I believe in telling the truth.
Let's face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven't done their job.
Once you privatize something, it becomes a for-profit business.
I think a person who is disabled should be disabled by no act of their own. If you become disabled because of alcoholism, drugs, or things of that nature, I do not think those conditions qualify someone to be called disabled. I think those conditions result from personal decisions.
I find that the history books that we teach our kids with are not fully truthful, in my opinion.
I'm saying that there's way more to 9/11 than mainstream media and our government have told us.
Health insurance should be a given for every citizen.
You can't put civil rights on the ballot.
