I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective.

We're the Fascist States of America today, not the United States of America, because the corporations are in power.

Health insurance should be a given for every citizen.

You can't put civil rights on the ballot.

I love fat people. Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.

I've never been arrested in my life. Never had cuffs put on me, never been charged with a crime, never spent one day in jail.

Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers.

I don't have to muzzle myself when I'm a civilian. When you're a governor, you kind of have to do it, because you represent the whole state. You have to leave your personal opinions to yourself a lot. I learned that.

All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same.

You need to hunt something that can shoot back at you to really classify yourself as a hunter. You need to understand the feeling of what it's like to go into the field and know your opposition can take you out.

Let's face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven't done their job.

I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.

I'm a Slovak. And when I was growing up, I believed that I was Czechoslovakian because of what Russia did. They came in and took two separate countries - Slovakia and the Czech Republic - put them together as one.

Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.

I think that when Americans go to vote, states should not list what party the candidates are affiliated with. That would require voters to actually think and get to know a candidate instead of voting for their favorite gang. 'Oh, this guy is a Republican, so he must be good.'

We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it's not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We're not free - if we were, we'd allow people their freedom.

You have to accept the rule of law, even when it's inconvenient, if you're going to be a country that bides by the rule of law.

In the last recession, 99 percent of us have lost wealth, but did you know that the top 1 percent increased their wealth five times? It tells you they create recessions so they get wealthier.

There's no question that we need tougher drunk-driving laws for repeat offenders. We need to take a lesson from European countries where driving isn't a right but a privilege.

Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.

I believe to go along to get along is unpatriotic. I believe that agreeing with your government on everything they do is unpatriotic. I believe a patriot stands up and holds your government's feet to the fire. Because if you do that, you will get good government.

My father used to always say to me that, you know, if a guy goes out to steal a loaf of bread to feed his family, they'll give him 10 years, but a guy can do white-collar crime and steal the money of thousands and he'll get probation and a slap on the wrist.

You can't legislate morality.

In wrestling, my mustache made me look more like a villain. A good mustache can give you the look of the devil.
