But to all you able-bodied people out there, get off the couch and get yourself a job.

I went through school, I worked my way through, it took me seven years, I never borrowed a dime of money. He borrowed a little bit because we both were totally on our own when we went to college, totally. [...] I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because theres no reason for that.

I don't believe in an America where the separation of church and state are absolute. The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country

To say that people of faith have no role in the public square? You bet that makes me want to throw up.

To say that people of faith have no role in the public square? You bet that makes me want to throw up. What kind of country do we live in where only people of non-faith can come in the public square and make their case? That makes me throw up. And that should make every American [throw up].

Not all folks are gifted in the same way. Some people have incredible gifts with their hands. Some people have incredible gifts and ... want to work out there making things. President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob. There are good decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that arent taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them. Oh, I understand why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image...

I supported the Paul Ryan budget and sent it over to the Senate. Now I live with some Senators, I yell at them all the time, I grabbed one of them the other day and shook him and Id love to get them to vote for it boy Id love that. You know but other than me going over there with a gun and holding it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them, I dont think theyre going to listen unless they get beat.

One of the things I will talk about that no President has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, thats okay. Contraceptions okay.' Its not okay because its a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.

I want to create every opportunity for women to be able to serve this country .?.?. but I do have concerns about women in front-line combat. I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. It already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat, but I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat. And I think thats not in the best interests of men, women or ...

When you look and see what the left is trying to do in America today, progressives are trying to shutter faith, privatize it, push it out of the public square, oppress people of faith, strip their charitable deductions away from them, trying to weaken them, churches trying to say that anyone who believes in the value of Judeo-Christian principles.

They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights then whats left is the French Revolution. Whats left is a government that gives you rights. Whats left are no unalienable rights. Whats left is a government that will tell you who you are, what youll do and when youll do it. Whats left in France became the the guillotine.

It's a Biblical principle. If you double a teacher's pay scale, you'll attract people who aren't called to teach.

You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but [Democrats], get the hell out of the United States of America.

By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.

We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out. Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner. If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.

Really--wow--um okay, well let's see if we can have a discussion. We can flesh out some, well, let's look at what's going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity.

Who are we at war with? We are at war with Al-Qaida and the Taliban, who are Muslims. It's a Catch-22. They are not allowed to kill their fellow Muslims; we're at war with Muslims. The only solution I see is that they not be allowed in the military. Personally, I don't trust one Muslim in our military. If they truly are a devout Muslim and follow the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened because they're commanded to kill me.

It is not fine with me that New York has destroyed marriage. It is not fine with me that New York is setting a template that will cause great division in this country.

When children are going to start you know, are going to be forced to be taught about all of these issues that come with the implementation of gay marriage. It's going to be it's going to have a devastating impact on our children, it's going to have a devastating impact on families, and it's going to have a profound impact on religious liberties.

...We are going to recognize a group of people, and give them a special privilege in removing don't ask don't tell...
