Liberals correctly perceive the Reagan record as their most dangerous enemy. Why? Because what happened during the 1980s - prosperity at home the longest period of peacetime growth in this nation\'s history, strength abroad - directly contradicts every liberal belief. Bill Clinton has confused many about the 1980s and the Reagan legacy. His patently false mantra states, \"The rich got richer, the poor got poorer. The rich didn\'t pay their fair share, etc.\"
Even if you want to conjure up some things, they are not reason enough to rip America apart, particularly under the guise of fairness or whatever. It\'s destructive.
Hillary Clinton is, I think, a cult figure.
We went 60 years or more with no immigration, folks. It can be done. The only reason that it started up again, Ted Kennedy started bellyaching about it in the mid-sixties, and then that led to Simpson-Mazzoli 20 years later, 1986, amnesty for about 3.9 million, and we were told that would be it, never again, and of course now we\'re where we are.
I go all the way back to the Founding Fathers. I see the miracle of the founding of this country. It is so special, it\'s so unique. What needs to be emulated around the world is the United States.
The problem with this world is the unequal distribution of capitalism.
I could have sworn that they were originally Americans who maybe fled. Maybe they were illegal immigrants or something who got here, come here with an entitlement mentality, didn\'t like it, fled the scene because Republicans drove them out of the country in the last election, so they went over to Somalia and started pirating things. Because they have the attitude of entitlement just like a lot of American citizens do.
[L]ook at it from Vicente Fox\'s point of view. I mean if - if you had a renegade, potential criminal element that was poor and unwilling to work, and you had a chance to get rid of 500,000 every year, would you do it?
It\'s what [Hillary Clinton] embodied and what the Clinton mystique was as it was passed down from parents to children and so forth. Because logically none of this makes any sense, as you are encountering. So you\'re trying to confront all these people with logic, and I would maintain to you that they don\'t have any where this is concerned.
No matter what Tucker Carlson tried - no matter what logic, the law, no matter what he tried - he could not disabuse this student of the idea that we can\'t survive as a country doing that and that the country must have borders and that a country must determine who gets in and who does not.
[Donald] Trump will be who it is that changes their names, and if Trump succeeds, and they don\'t change their minds, then it\'s hopeless. Then they don\'t want to change their minds and they don\'t want to think anything other than negative things.
I forget what his name was, but Tucker Carlson said, \"Well, look, do you think that anybody who wants to come into the country should be allowed?\" He said, \"Yes. Anybody who wants to come to America should be allowed to come to America. That\'s what America\'s for.\"
There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?
It doesn\'t matter to me where Barack Obama goes. If he wants to go to Hawaii because it\'s his home state, fine! Hunky-dory. Plastic banana, good-time rock \'n\' roller dittos.
The problem with this world is that there isn\'t enough liberty and freedom.
Most of the nations around the world are led by tyrants and dictators and thugs who are leading their countries for one reason.
Donald Trump is able to get his message out.
Imagine this country without the 20 million illegals that are here. Imagine the state of California. And this is not... It\'s nothing more than an exercise. It\'s nothing more than a little game to play with yourself. Because it\'s instructive.
Our way of life, our government defines the way America is. I mean, it\'s not luck.
We need to shut down this Gitmo prison? Well, don\'t shut it down - we just need to start an advertising campaign. We need to call it, \'Gitmo, the Muslim resort.\' Any resort that treated people like this would have ads all over the \'New York Times\' trying to get people to come down and visit for some R&R, for some rest and relaxation.
Do you know we have more acreage of forest land in the United States today than we did at the time the Constitution was written?
This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation. I\'m talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?
Not everybody here is rich. Not everybody here is independently wealthy. Not everybody here is free from any kind of economic concern. We run the gamut here, too. It\'s the opportunity to escape that that exists here, for very specific reasons. But it\'s not because the US is where it is. It\'s not because our DNA is different than anybody else\'s. It\'s because of the way we have structured our affairs, our government.
Where does it say that we must allow anyone who wants to come to America to come in and become a citizen. I mean, this is a very, very tough thing to discuss.
California is many things, and it is a harbinger of what this country will become if illegal immigration isn\'t stopped. You\'re gonna have a very rich, very powerful minority of elites - very, very tiny - and they\'re gonna live in a very few, small, gated enclaves.
One of the things that drives Trump\'s popularity is that he sticks it to these people in the media. And people love seeing that.
This will play right into Obama\'s hands. He\'s humanitarian, compassionate. They\'ll use this to burnish their, shall we say, \'credibility\' with the black community -- in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It\'s made-to-order for them. That\'s why he couldn\'t wait to get out there, could not wait to get out there.
I think if Donald Trump skipped out on a debate, for whatever reason he gave, I don\'t think it would help him at all.
Everybody is laden with guilt.
In Colma, a suburb of San Francisco, California there\'s a proposal pending to tax . . . the dead. If proponents get their way, grave sites will be taxed $5 dollars - per grave, per year - for eternity. In Colma the dead outnumber the living by a ratio of roughly 1000-to-1, including such no as: Wyatt Earp, Levi Strauss, and William Randolph Hearst. And they, apparently, haven\'t paid their fair share. For liberals, when it comes to taxes . . . nothing is sacred.
