Who can be against progress, after all? But it's a fraudulent use of the word - because for the Progressive, progress is marked not be how free you are, but how much government can 'do' for you.
Rick Perry
The idea that you're going have zero people crossing the border is unrealistic. But today we know that's not the case. Today we know we've got a porous border and people are coming in, and we don't know who they are. So secure the border then we can have a conversation about it.
Rick Perry
As Americans, we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasn't first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.

It's a Tenth Amendment issue. If you want Washington, if you want to implement their standards, that's your call...

Rick Perry
When a criminal breaks into your home I'll let the liberals call the lawyer. I'm going to call Smith & Wesson.
Rick Perry
Every life is precious.
Rick Perry
In America, the people are not subjects of government, the government is subject to the people.
Rick Perry
I disagree with the concept that somehow or another we're going to pack up 10, to 12, to 15 million people and ship them back to the country of origin. That's not going to happen.
Rick Perry
We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual's right to build a business.
Rick Perry
Aggies have a really interesting way of admitting defeat. We've never been outscored. We just ran out of time.
Rick Perry
You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn't raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund?
Rick Perry
I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.

ISIS represents the worst threat to freedom since Communism!
