What can you do? More and more Americans are carrying a gun in the car. An ex-cop I know advises that if you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example.)

I think a submarine is a very worthwhile weapon. I believe we can defend ourselves with submarines and all our troops back at home. This whole idea that we have to be in 130 countries and 900 bases... is an old-fashioned idea.

1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.

When we give government the power to make medical decisions for us, we, in essence, accept that the state owns our bodies.

When one person can initiate war, by its definition, a republic no longer exists.

We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars.

You can't have a healthy economy without sound money, which is why we're on the verge of very serious economic problem.

The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions

I'm not against the FBI investigation in doing a proper role, but I'm against the FBI spying on people like Martin Luther King. I'm against the CIA fighting secret wars and overthrowing government.

It is not democracy to send in billions of dollars to push regime change overseas. It isn't democracy to send in the NGOs to re-write laws and the constitution in places like Ukraine. It is none of our business.

Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action.
