As a Christian, Israel has a very special place in my heart. There's no question about that. I grew up with a Bible, and the back of the Bible has all these pictures of Israel in it. And so all these locations are incredibly significant to me personally in my faith.
Quote by -James Lankford
I don't see people who are eager for shutdowns. While some people have a romantic ideal about shutdowns, the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats believe you have to try to work problems out rather than having a shutdown.
Quote by -James Lankford
There is only one person in the State Department that can sign off on State Department personnel being in a facility that doesn't meet security standards, and it's the secretary of state.
Quote by -James Lankford
Quite frankly, Oklahomans are pretty smart. They know how to choose candidates.
Quote by -James Lankford
Most businesses believe regulators intend to fine them rather than help them protect their workers. Serious violations should bring real consequences, but minor violations should only incur warnings that encourage compliance.
Quote by -James Lankford
I firmly believe the Senate should see more voting and debate and less standing around and waiting for backroom deals.
Quote by -James Lankford
Every schoolteacher will tell you that there is no substitute for engaged parents in the education of a child.
Quote by -James Lankford
Centralized national decision-making on education reduces the role of the parent and the local districts.
Quote by -James Lankford
Certainly, every student and school ought to have standards and evaluation, but who sets those standards, and who writes the test? Whoever controls the test controls the school.
Quote by -James Lankford
No matter where I travel in the state, people want to talk about education.
Quote by -James Lankford
The vast majority of Americans believe you don't discriminate. You don't. We honor each other. We don't all see life the same way. We don't. We're Americans.
Quote by -James Lankford
President Obama and I disagree on policy with Israel. He seems to say... 'We want peace, but we want to act like Switzerland. We're going to be a neutral party to everyone.' I think that's negotiating from weakness.
Quote by -James Lankford
The Constitution provides that all Americans enjoy the right to live a life in accordance with their convictions of faith.
Quote by -James Lankford
When a president makes up law as he goes, no one knows what the law is anymore.
Quote by -James Lankford
This is why it's bad to run a country by executive order: because our nation runs on laws - when everyone knows the law, and everyone knows what it is, you know both the law and the consequence, and you get that.
Quote by -James Lankford
I see myself as more of a student, that I love to get down into the weeds of different problems and try to go through that. I don't mind messaging, but I'm going to default back to the research side of things.
Quote by -James Lankford
You talk about leading Republicans. That's no easy task on just like you were trying to lead Democrats on the other side. We all have independent thoughts and independent ideas.
Quote by -James Lankford
The Health Care Compact simply gives a state like Oklahoma the option to create a customized system that better meets the needs of Oklahoma families.
Quote by -James Lankford
The Health Care Compact is a way for states to protect their residents from the top-down, one-size-fits-all health care 'solutions' that have been imposed from Washington D.C., including Obamacare.
Quote by -James Lankford
The only way to make government more efficient is to make it smaller and to make it more local.
Quote by -James Lankford
We're facing serious issues. We can either complain about it or try to step in and solve it.
Quote by -James Lankford
ISIS has leadership, just like al Qaeda has leadership. It's important to be able to eliminate the individuals that are leading the organization.
Quote by -James Lankford
Al Qaeda likes to coordinate, have a central command to be able to send out emissaries around that they have highly trained and say, 'This is the moment we're going to do a large-scale attack.'
Quote by -James Lankford
What they have done, ISIS is very well outspoken about how much they hate our freedom, who we are as Americans.
Quote by -James Lankford
I understand the significance of being one of 18 senators in Oklahoma history.
Quote by -James Lankford
We still have a major problem in debt with America that we have to find efficiencies in government to get us back to a balanced budget.
Quote by -James Lankford
I believe that conservative solutions can help families of every race, every economic background, and every town in Oklahoma.
Quote by -James Lankford
I believe that being conservative means you try to get in to the middle of the fight and try to solve the problem.
Quote by -James Lankford
I just don't believe that being conservative means all you do is throw stones and poke people in the eye.
Quote by -James Lankford
It's ironic, isn't it, that one day you're one of the most conservative members, and then some individual gets mad at you, and they decide to throw millions of dollars against you because you didn't vote exactly the way they want every day.
Quote by -James Lankford
The different Washington, D.C.-based groups and the different special interest groups, they all want to be able to pick who they want to be a senator. They don't speak for everyone, and they definitely don't speak for Oklahomans.
Quote by -James Lankford
At times, conservatives become defined by their volume rather than by their ideas.
Quote by -James Lankford
We must go through every area of the federal budget to isolate waste and abandoned projects.
Quote by -James Lankford
America is strongest when families take care of each other and walk with one another through need and loss.
Quote by -James Lankford
Broken families not only affect the people involved, but they have an impact on public policy decisions in Washington, D.C., and state capitols around the nation.
Quote by -James Lankford
We have two programs dealing with bulletproof vests, two different systems of actually distributing bulletproof vests from the federal government. Two sets of applications, two different sets of personnel to approve those applications.
Quote by -James Lankford
The wind industry has made major strides over the past two decades, and they have proven their industry to be efficient and self-sustainable. There is no need for the taxpayer to continue to subsidize a wind start-up tax credit.
Quote by -James Lankford
I am a fan of an all-of-the-above energy strategy, and I certainly support wind as a large part of that goal.
Quote by -James Lankford
If we are going to remove someone, which I have no problem with doing, then let's do the 20, not the 10, the very first secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.
Quote by -James Lankford
If you are going to replace somebody off of one of the bills - which I have no problem with a lady being on one of the bills - that you would replace the 20.
Quote by -James Lankford
For the millions of Americans, like my family, who believe that there is a creator God who can be known personally, Christmas is a celebration of Jesus' offer of love and forgiveness for all people.
Quote by -James Lankford
Americans honor and respect each other's faith, and we honor those that choose to have no faith.
