Zitat des Tages von John Fleming:
People on the Left really want a single-payer system. They really want - so even the Left doesn't want Obamacare. They want single payer, and we want a market-driven, patient-central system.
We know that terrorism is going to happen in the future, and we need to be prepared for it.
The government has a key role in regulating and making sure there's an even playing field and protecting consumers. No question about it.
The use of threats and intimidation to force energy companies to submit to an extremist agenda may be fitting under a totalitarian regime, but it is never acceptable in the United States.
By the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over.
I'm pro-free enterprise.
We've got to change the way we do things.
Louisiana's a very conservative state. When we've ever polled this, we've found that they like conservative reforms. They want us to fight back against our leadership and Democrats, so it's very consistent.
If members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way.
In this country, most people feel that being successful in their business is a virtue, not a vice, and once we begin to identify it as a vice, this country is going down.
I want to see the farm piece passed, but the nearly a trillion dollars in SNAP spending for food stamps is way too much.
Most Americans do not support amnesty, especially without securing the borders.
We have too many in Washington who are all too willing to just go along with the status quo and not make any waves.
Seeking justice is always our goal, but we see many too willing to circumvent that.
That's how you win these battles over long periods of time. You continue to fight. You continue to bring it up. You continue to message it to your constituents and to America in general.
We think our leadership has been too timid to go after corruption, and often times, they bow to the liberal progressive demands of the White House instead of standing up for our values.
For nearly a century, Republican-controlled Houses held the line on tax rates, a Republican coup de pointe to Democratic tax-increase parries.

For that reason, I am proud to oppose 'stimulus' packages and endless corporate bailouts, which will do little but weaken the long-term integrity of the American economy.
One way or another, I want to be a positive force for the people of Louisiana and the United States of America in whatever way I can serve.

The White House has a secular, humanistic agenda.
Don't take risk, and don't get into debt.
