We find ourselves in what I consider to be the most challenging, difficult, threatening time since World War II because of this War on Terror.

More quotes by Rick Perry
It's time to bring tough medicine to Washington. No longer will policy be set by K Street, it will be dictated by Main Street.
Rick Perry
It is through states that the American people get the job done every day, often in spite of a deeply flawed bureaucratic federal government.
Rick Perry
The Obama administration is an affront to every freedom-loving American,and a threat to every private sector job in this country.
Rick Perry
Aggies have a really interesting way of admitting defeat. We've never been outscored. We just ran out of time.
Rick Perry
In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.
Rick Perry
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
I happily cling to my guns and my God, even if President Obama thinks that that is a simpleminded thing in his elitist heart.
Rick Perry
The liberals think government exists to fix what's wrong with America. They find fault with our Constitution, our economic model and our core values. We disagree with the premise of their argument. We believe there's nothing wrong with America that an extra dose of freedom won't cure.
Rick Perry
President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.
Rick Perry
I don't think Obama understands basic economics. Not economics that work. He may understand some theory that someone in Princeton sat and dreamed up, but it's not working.
Rick Perry
When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.
Rick Perry
Just because you have a group of scientists who stood up and said here is the fact. Galileo got outvoted for a spell.
Rick Perry
It's a Tenth Amendment issue. If you want Washington, if you want to implement their standards, that's your call... We certainly had higher standards than Common Core, so it was a very easy decision for Texans, myself and the legislature included, to basically say we still believe that Texans know how to best run Texas.
Rick Perry
Not every child learns for the same purpose, not every child thrives in the same settings and schools. Limiting a child to just one opportunity does nothing more than limit that child's future. The way forward must involve more public charter schools, which offer parents a tuition-free alternative to their neighborhood school.
Rick Perry
Debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates. It's pretty hard to be able to sit and lay out your ideas and your concepts with a one-minute response.
Rick Perry
Texas created more jobs in 2008 than the rest of the states - combined.
Rick Perry
I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.
Rick Perry
Armed and law-abiding citizens are a greater deterrent to violent crime than 1,000 laws passed by Congress.
Rick Perry
We've got the wind at our back right now. Americans are waking up to the realities of their previous choices. We must keep America moving back to preeminence because our values and conservative ideas are the world's greatest hope.
Rick Perry
I mean, Dodd-Frank is strangling small community banks. It doesn't make any difference what the interest rate is. They're not - they're not going to loan the money because they can't make any money for one thing plus the cost of compliance.
