“My mouth ain't no prayer book.”

“Hardball with Chris Matthews, September 1, 2004, transcript at MSNBC”

“Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed. Over 45 million since Roe v. Wade in 1973.” "If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security.

“I’m southern born, and southern bred, and when I die, I’ll be southern dead.”
