Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.
Glenn Beck
It's a real blessing for me to tell you, sir, that calvary has arrived - Fox is here!
What is the point of competing for a trophy if everyone gets a trophy?
Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution, and it was designed to eat the Constitution, to progress past the Constitution.
Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence, then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character, not the color of skin.
We all have our inner demons.
Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.
Political Correctness doesn't change us, it shuts us up.
Music is the language of the heart, and conservatives always screw it up.
I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.
Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative.
The worst is still ahead of us. But no one in Washington has the spine to tell you that.
We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed.
When you live in an alcoholic family or an abusive family, you tiptoe, you don't want to step on any mines.
If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop.
What I'm trying to do is get this message out about self-empowerment, entrepreneurial spirit and true Americanism - the way we were when we changed the world, when Edison was alone, failing his 2,000th time on the lightbulb.
When I was young, I used to hear people say, 'He's a golden boy. Look at that guy. Can you imagine what he's going to be like when he grows up?' Well, I unfortunately bought into that. And I hadn't even found myself. Quite honestly, I was running from myself. But I knew how to work Top 40 radio.
People should be free, people should be unencumbered by regulation as much as possible, that big government always goes corrupt and the truth shall always set you free.
It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that.
What does it mean to be a conservative? I don't even know anymore. I know what it means to me. It means to me, personal responsibility. That if I've done something wrong, its up to me to pay the price. It's up to me to make it right.
What we don't have a right to is healthcare, housing, or handouts. We don't have those rights.
To restore America we need less Marx and more Madison.
And I've come to the place where I believe that there's no way to solve these problems, these issues - there's nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace, unless we solve it through God, unless we solve it in being our highest self. And that's a pretty tall order.
I was one of the hardest-hitting conservatives on George W. Bush. Republicans didn't like me on George W. Bush. Republicans still don't like me on many things. If any Republican thinks I've been hard on Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich or any of these guys, wait until Mitt Romney gets into office. I'll hold his feet to the fire just as much.
I'm the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.
Timothy McVeigh was a coward. Violence is the stupid way out. It'll discredit any real legitmate movement.
I don't fancy myself a political commentator. I hate politics. I hate it.
By the time I was 30, nobody would work with me. I was friendless, I was hopeless, I was suicidal, lost my family - I mean, it was bad. Bottomed out, didn't know what I was going to do. I actually thought I was going to be a chef - go to work in a kitchen someplace.
My father told me abuse is generational.
When you're true to yourself - not the audience that reads about me in the newspaper or sees a clip someplace, but the audience that actually comes and watches, just like Oprah - they get to know you and they sense something genuine.
I am a conservative, but I am not a zombie.
When did it become a problem to be a small businessman and become successful? The small businessman - like my father, or like me?
You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I've made lots of money making fun of me.
The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.
The most used phrase in my administration if I were to be President would be 'What the hell you mean we're out of missiles?'
It's not just spending, it's not just taxes, it's not just corruption, it is progressivism, and it is in both parties. It is in the Republicans and the Democrats.
I can multitask like crazy. I'm riddled with ADD - a blessing and a curse.
I am like Howard Beale. When he came out of the rain and he was like, none of this makes any sense. I am that guy.
We should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.
You know, we all have our inner demons. I, for one - I can't speak for you, but I'm on the verge of moral collapse at any time. It can happen by the end of the show.
The majority does not rule in America, but the minority shouldn't hijack it. And it's because we're afraid. They have isolated us and made us feel as though we're alone. We're not.
Oprah is wildly successful, and she's a brilliant businesswoman. She's also somebody who's overcome a ton of demons in her own life, and that's really what shaped her. I think the same could be said for me.
Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.
We just put General Motors in the hands of people who can't even run our own government.
I believe that if we get out of people's way, the sky's the limit. The sky is the limit.
No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.
Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.
We all know what the problems are: it's tax and spend. One party will tax and spend, the other party won't tax but will spend. It's both of them together.
'Hello my name is the Republican Party and I got a problem. I'm addicted to spending and big government.' I'd like one of them just to stand up and say that.
I have not heard people in the Republican Party yet admit that they have a problem. And when they do say that they have a problem I don't know that I believe 'em.
