Well look CIA is an agency that has to collect intelligence do operations. We have to take risks and it's important that we take risks and that we know that we have the support of the government and we have the support of the American people in what we're doing.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda the only thing everyone's talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images devious and prejudicial language dubious linkages weak or false 'intelligence' and selected 'leaks.'

The human race is governed by its imagination.

Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal or in other words a meddling government a government which tells them what to read and say and eat and drink and wear.

So you know I think that the federal government the Democrats and President Obama are selling a lot of hope and change but no delivery of any of those promises.

I am encouraged that there's going to be much better dialogue between the federal government and the state of Arizona. I mean I hope that's not wishful thinking.

People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them and they are right.

I hope that my government can help change Italian mentality.

Families are the tie that reminds us of yesterday provide strength and support today and give us hope for tomorrow. No government no matter how well-intentioned or well-managed can provide what our families provide.

In fact it works the other way: A government as big and bossy as this one is maintained on the backs of the middle class and those who hope to join it.
