Why is Mexican nationalism a good thing, but putting American interests first needs defending?
— Tom Tancredo
ISIS and radical Islam have declared war on us not because of anything we have done - not because we are a friend to Israel and not because we have not yet toppled the bloody Syrian dictator Assad. ISIS and radical Islamists hate us for who we are. The irony is, we ourselves do not know who we are.
If we can afford food stamps and housing subsidies, why not gun stamps to help urban citizens survive the next Islamist assault?
No migrant of any religion has a constitutional right to come to the United States.
The power of Political Correctness is demonstrated by the entire political establishment coming to the defense of open immigration from Muslim-majority nations.
Folks, the zombies are not on television - they are in Washington, D.C., and they meet at the Capitol Hill Club and call themselves 'Realists.'
If you think data about illegal alien crime is hidden from public, just try to find information on the contagious diseases brought across our borders by illegal aliens from nearly 100 countries.
Bilingualism is a great asset for any individual, but it has perilous consequences for a nation.
To the Left, Islam's anger and hatred of the West is understandable because they have legitimate grievances against us.
The Left wants Islam not only tolerated across the globe but invited and welcomed inside the gates and into our schools, our entertainment, our military our legislatures, and yes, the White House.
Conservatives looking at presidential candidates have to ask what kind of leader they want sitting in the White House.
Sanders' coalition of millions of spoiled, narcissistic rich kids and big-government addicts is worlds apart from the Trump coalition, and the two have very little in common.
Tolerance of true diversity on university campuses - diversity of opinion and belief - has been eroding for decades while alumni and trustees looked the other way.
No, Islam did not lift American blacks out of poverty; capitalism did that.
In our 21st-century celebrity culture, we seem to demand an all-or-nothing verdict on any departing figure of public stature.
Conservatives have the advantage of knowing how to debate each other on issues, principles, and priorities, and that is where they should engage Trump.
Trump has given voice to a widespread public feeling of alarm, frustration, and anger over the direction our country is headed. For all of that, conservatives are deeply grateful. America needed a loud, rude wake-up call. No one else has done that, and that accomplishment is huge.
Radical Islam's principles are out there for all to see if they open their eyes. But what are our principles? In truth, they are up for grabs.
Our secular culture is adrift in a sea of relativism, escapism, and self-indulgent inanities, with our media and entertainment elites leading the parade.
An America disarmed is an America in subjugation.
Americans, unlike their elected politicians, are not stupid.
Living on hypocrisy is not a healthy diet for patriots.
The public health ramifications of our scandalous open borders are possibly even more dangerous and far-reaching than the economic and political consequences.
Honestly, if you are going to run for public office, I think it's incumbent... to speak up.
If you are going to vote in this country, you should be a citizen. To be a citizen in this country, you should know English.
To the Left, Islam, like the rest of the 'Third World,' is one of the many victims of Western Imperialism.
It takes real courage and conviction to attack the establishment from within and makes waves as big as a tsunami. Ted Cruz has done that - consistently and successfully - on immigration and other issues like Obamacare, voting rights, and the 2nd Amendment.
Anger is an emotion, not a compass.
In truth, the 'populist anger' fueling Trump's coalition is fundamentally different from Sanders' 'progressive populism.' The superficial similarities between the two end when they talk about solutions.
In most cases, the only genuine victims of the 'safe places' demands for censorship are conservative student groups and their invited guest speakers.
No, Islam did not free African-Americans from slavery, not in Africa and not in Europe or America. Evangelical Christianity did that.
My policy has always been to say what I believe to be in the best interest of the American people and hope the voters agree, or at least will respect my honesty.
Trump is not a conservative and has no conservative agenda. If elected president, he would not govern as the second coming of Ronald Reagan.
Let's summon the courage to insist on a minimal level of civic knowledge for the citizens empowered to decide our fate.
ISIS hates the West as an abominable nest of infidels - infidels who reject the Quran and Shariah Law and so must be annihilated. We are the obstacle to the new Caliphate.
We now live in a very polarized nation, divided not between Republicans and Democrats but between those who want to defend our liberties and those who want to defend politically correct stupidities.
If President Obama or any president ever attempts gun confiscation in America, there should be and will be a second civil war.
The reality is that we can no longer sleep soundly at night thinking that if we keep the terrorists 'out there,' we are safe inside our homes and offices. That illusion is gone.
Paul Ryan wants his weekends free? Fine - let's give him all 365 days free.
What do we know about the diseases carried by illegal aliens? Not much, thanks to government secrecy, but we know enough to be worried.
Look at what has happened to Miami. It has become a Third World country. You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you're in the United States of America. You would certainly say you're in a Third World country.
Everyone agrees that there are individuals who are seriously mentally ill and should not have guns.
The Left hates United States' sovereignty, capitalism, Christianity, and the freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. To the Left, anything that helps undermine those institutions is an ally, not an enemy.
If voters' anger is the hallmark of the 2016 campaign, nothing has generated that anger as much as the establishment's decade-long duplicity on immigration.
The media will not admit that Trump's America and Sanders' America are as different as Venus and Mars: they represent a very polarized America with two different answers to the question, 'Who are we?'
This epidemic of student demands for 'safe places' to protect against threatening words and ideas would make a great science fiction film, but unbelievably, events seem to be outpacing the political imagination.
I have been personally victimized by organized disruption of a public lecture on a university campus - at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Michigan State University, and Rhode Island's Providence College, to name only a few.
Muhammad Ali was unquestionably one of the greatest boxers of the 20th century and a sincere advocate for his religious beliefs. In his life, he defeated the best professional boxers of his era, some of them more than once, which meant he was easily forgiven the excesses of his ringside braggadocio.
I am the first to admit that I am not the greatest campaign strategist or political analyst.
Conservatives have welcomed Trump's attacks on the establishment, have cheered his boldness, and have applauded his courage. He has taken on hitherto taboo issues like immigration enforcement and has demonstrated the hollowness of what passes for conventional wisdom.
