My attitude when I'm in Mexico is I wake up in the morning with nothing to do and I go to bed half done. I don't wear a watch. When I live down there, I do nothing according to time. I eat when I'm hungry and go to sleep when I'm tired.

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.

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

There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.

Health insurance should be a given for every citizen.

Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.

Disabled people need more invested in their education, housing, job training, transportation, assistive technology, and independent-living facilities. Governments earn back this investment - and more - by making people with disabilities economically productive citizens.

I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief.

Let me say this: I'm paranoid of the government. They've lost my trust. They've lied to me so many times that I don't know what to believe from them anymore.

There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.

Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.

My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.

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

Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.

I would rather be uncomfortable with the truth than to be lied to in comfort. That's just my nature.

The first thing out of Fidel Castro's mouth to me, he looked me right in the eye and said, 'You're a man of great courage.'

Wrestling is ballet with violence.

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.
