I would never filibuster any President’s judicial nominee, period. I might vote against them, but I will always see they came to a vote.

The backbone of our nation's domestic defense against terrorist attacks will continue to be the men and women in local law enforcement and emergency services.

Japan's inexplicable lack of response to even consider a move to re-open their market to U.S. beef will sorely tempt economic trade action against Japan.

Im concerned about the cost, just like everybody else. Theres no question that we have an obligation to help the people of Louisiana and Mississippi to rebuild.

The truth is our country, our people, our liberties, and our way of life are under attack by radical Islamic terrorists who kill and destroy in the name of religion.

Intelligence is our first line of defense against terrorism, and we must improve the collection capabilities and analysis of intelligence to protect the security of the United States and its allies.

I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge.

When his nomination comes before the United States Senate, Timothy Batten can count on my strong support... He is the right person for the job.

Let me be clear: There is no stronger advocate for civil liberties in the Senate than myself.

This is nothing new. It has proved meritorious because we have gathered significant information on bad guys and only on bad guys over the years.

But the thing we do know is whatever it costs to save and protect American lives in this conflict, we're going to spend.

The most subtle art, the strongest and deepest art - supreme art - is the one that does not at first allow itself to be recognized.

If we Americans are split into two meaningful camps, it is not conservative versus liberal. The two camps are the politically awake and the hypnotized.

If things were to be done twice, all would be wise.

To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

I like to write about things that are dark or twisted. Where the poetry seems to be is when you start in the dark and reach for the light - that's what makes it not depressing to me.

News reports stand up as people, and people wither into editorials. Clichés walk around on two legs while men are having theirs shot off.

There is no sound more feminine than a woman in a taffeta dress.

War knows no power. Safe shall be my going, Secretly armed against all death's endeavour; Safe though all safety's lost; safe where men fall; And if these poor limbs die, safest of all.
