I would rather be uncomfortable with the truth than to be lied to in comfort. That's just my nature.

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.

There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.

I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective.
