We must never forget that many around the globe are denied the basic rights we enjoy as Americans. If we are to continue enjoying these privileges and freedoms we must accept our mission of expanding democracy around the globe.

As we continue to make great progress in the war on terror, now more than ever, it is important that members of the international community stand-by and bolster the efforts of the emerging diplomatic leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.

A country's adhering to the rule of law does not mean that its citizens will not do bad things.

I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons.

People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.

I do not think our priorities are misplaced when we are looking at creating a whole new class of children from these gay marriages who could end up completely dependent on the State, on the taxpayers - the American people.

If they're in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners - they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals.

Environmental organizations have become experts at duplicitous activity, skirting laws up to the edge of illegality, and burying their political activities under the guise of non-profit environmental improvement.

Doubt is our product, since it is the best means of competing with the body of fact that exists on the mind of the general public.

Global warming might be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

A lot of people didn't like John McCain.

With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it.

Kevin Durant would be welcome back in Oklahoma any time he's willing to come, and I want to be the first one he calls. He took care of the victims of our tornadoes. He took care of families. Took care of little kids. So, he has a heart, and he's not a bad ballplayer.

When I was mayor of Tulsa, Tulsa County was in nonattainment of the 1979 ozone NAAQS, so I have seen firsthand the economic impacts associated with the challenges of attainment and the legacy of EPA intervention that continues long after meeting the standard.

I'd have a hard time supporting Chris Christie.

A lot of times, politicians will go to where their strongest force is and do things for them, and that's the type of thing they do that I find offensive.

I'm really proud to say that in the recorded history of our family, we've never had a divorce or any kind of homosexual relationship.

You can go ahead and break a law, and you can come to a sanctuary city, and they wouldn't enforce the laws.

I just want to get back to the point where America has the best of everything.

The hoax is that there are some people who are so arrogant to think that they are so powerful, they can change climate. Man can't change climate.

As a country, we have confronted and controlled the most common sources of ozone precursors, and our options are few and far between to handle what remains, which is mostly naturally occurring ozone and ozone transported from other countries such as Mexico.

I take my religion seriously.
