My whole take is that it's important for Americans to have weapons, and down in Texas, people carry all the time, and they're usually pretty responsible. But when someone fired a gun off at me, that's abusing that right.

That's the basis of the Constitution. The government is for the people, by the people. And once they stop working for us, you can reinstate a new government. New Orleans, 9/11, the Iraq war — that's three strikes as far as I'm concerned. And I think the patriotic thing to do is speak out about these things and start voting for people who will clean up the mess. It's too late if we wake up at 65 and realize there's no Social Security.

People don't want to face the facts. It's upsetting, but I'm not going to change for it. I'm going to keep beating down the wall until it sinks into people's heads. But keep it fun, or you become what you're preaching against.

The majority of Americans, the ones who never elected you, are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction.

We were some of the first Americans who landed in Vietnam without weapons in our hands, you might say.
