We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think religion stops people from thinking. I think it justified crazies.

I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.

Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers, Republican congressmen do to the country.
