I think the important thing is for the president to show action. The people in America want to know that we’re listening to them and their concerns.

I’m not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld. I don’t think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.

I don’t agree with the libertarians. I want my security first. I’ll deal with all the details after that.

I want the President to look across the country and find the best man woman or minority that he can find.

When you’re in this type of conflict, when you’re at war, civil liberties are treated differently.

I understand what’s going on in people’s minds, and I think the political leaders better be asking themselves ‘why is it, that Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and maybe even others are having the impact that they are having?’

Government does best when it helps people help themselves. Human dignity is found not in a handout but in being able to do for one’s self.

I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years either.

There are people who don’t vote for a lot of reasons, sometimes as a statement.

The highly motivated young people who comprise the backbone of our military force truly are taking their place as one of America’s greatest generations.
