One, if you attack my integrity, I will defend myself. If you attack my patriotism, I will defend myself. If you come after my family, I will counter-attack viciously, I will destroy you.

I love my country more than anything. I spent 12 years in the United States Marine Corps. I know what it means to defend this country.

I can train a monkey to wave an American flag. That does not make the monkey patriotic.

That we have collectively failed to halt and repudiate the war in Iraq makes us even worse than the Germans.

We say that we care about the war, but we don't even really know what we're fighting for.

My goal in Baghdad was to facilitate a debate here in the United States on America's policy toward Iraq, a debate that's been sadly lacking.

I'm someone who believes the truth needs to be heard. And if I'm empowered with the truth, I'm not going to shut up.

War is not some sort of Nintendo video game.

If people don't like the history, I'm sorry.

Iraq has not been disarmed 100 percent [but] in terms of what they [Iraqis] have accomplished there are no meaningful weapons or weapons production capability in Iraq today.

The only way an Iraqi biological agent would kill you is if it landed on your head.

In the end, class will out. So much talk about helping the poor. It's all words and class interest— in the end.

There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.

It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.

There is no such thing as constructive criticism.

It's a real smug self-righteous punk kid saying nobody has the right to tell him what to do and how dare you put a sign up saying that I can't go on your property?

We must hold fast to the truths which we have already received; we must not look with suspicion upon any new light that God may send.

We are eternally linked not just to each other but our environment.

There's not going to be a whole lot of change, to be honest with you. I don't think there's a reason to fix what's broke.

Many people I know who are doing truly helpful and healing ministry find their primary support from a couple of enlightened friends, and only secondarily, if at all, from the larger organizations.

Work, work, work, but what mark do we leave, what point do we make? People who are too beholden to work become like erasers: as things move forward, they leave in their wake no trace of themselves.
