The Public Record
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, from the Killing Fields. He is on that list that the Pope has condemned. He came into office in 1978 in the killing fields in Cambodia, with the death after 33 days of John Paul I, making him the first. That was in 1978…
Would the gentleman want to add a note of excitement to his special order tonight? My middle daughter of 5 sons and daughters just called in a play. She did not mean to, but she knew it was your special order and I maybe could bolt for the…
Well let me show how the courage of a John Joyce, of a Robert Casey, former Governor of the State where my mother was raised, the beautiful Pennsylvania; let me tell you about a letter dated today that was just given to me by Edward J…
I thank the gentleman. If there is anything I know about theology or philosophy or rhetoric or logic or ethics more than you do, it is only because I am years older than you are and you are catching fast on me. Before you are my tender…
Karol Wojtyla. And Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and a couple of Catholics, Lech Walesa, pulled down the evil empire. It is amazing.
It did not make the evening news at all. It just showed in silent that he got the Gold Medal from Congress.
I understand. The title of the book was ``The Dysfunctional President.'' I never heard of it. That could mean politically dysfunctional. I read the subtitle. I accept that because it discussed behavior. Gennifer Flowers. I had a discussion…
I just spoke to a whole bunch of students outside. They said: Why does the news media still persist in saying that those of us on both sides of the aisle who do special orders, 5 minutes or 1 hour or 1 minute, why do they persist in saying…
Yes, over the line, Mr. Speaker, When I first said it, he was only the Governor of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I remove my verb ``rape'' and replace it with ``had trouble with the truth.'' No, let me go back. Clinton Confidential. Decline to…
I think I scare some liberals when I get passionate. Have you ever seen me carry that passion or any ill will in the Speaker's lobby or in the Cloakroom or anywhere in the Halls of this place?
Get this on Michael McCurry. I ask unanimous consent to put in the information my staff has gotten me. I did not give the year he was born. October 27, 1954. I first flew in a jet 6 days before that. He attended Princeton from 1972 to…
It is not forceps. They do not even have an instrument of death for this. They use Mendelson's scissors and they shove them in and open them up to tear the back of the skull to take the brains out. They had to adapt a tool to do that.
You are a freshman. When I was a freshman, I hit the ground running like you, like your whole wonderful nonextremist mainline class. And I loved Tip O'Neill, the Speaker of the House. He sat with me alone in his office for 1 hour with my…
Right, and how could a good Irish Catholic politician tell me not to talk about abortion, the chief moral issue? And now we are debating homosexual sodomy marriage and killing a baby by puncturing his head and taking its brains out when…
I also do not think it is about that beautiful last line in the Pledge of Allegiance, liberty and justice for all. There are some of us that can make a compelling case that not only has Legal Services been arrogant and corrupt and done…
I would say when they are getting the cuts we are giving them, they would be smart to live up to them.
I think we have to reinvent the wheel here. I think we have to have a whole new structure to help the poor so those without the benefit of good legal counsel can get it. But I think Legal Services Corporation is part of defunding the left…
I had just been told that I had a constituent from my district that had died on TWA flight 800. I stood at this very microphone at the Speaker's desk and said that sometime over the weekend I would find out if it was a baby, a young child…
When people watch this floor, they expect promises to be kept. I made a promise the day before yesterday when I returned from the funeral of the highest ranking Navy ace in history, the Navy's ace of aces, Capt. David McCampbell. I said…
my friend, the hero of freedom in China, the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Pelosi], has just contradicted herself inadvertently. She just described abortion on demand, and although we say there is no Member in this House that believes…
this is one of those days when the spirits stand up and pay attention. At our incomparably beautiful national cemetery at Arlington today we buried the Navy ace of aces from World War II. The overall ace of aces was a young 24-year-old…
Well, let us see how rough Mr. Krauthammer gets here. I want the Chair to be advised, I am against rule XVIII applying to the executive branch. I am against Clinton and Gore getting the protection and violating the separation of powers…
I did not believe when I came here 20 years ago we would ever be discussing homosexuals have the same rights as the sacrament of holy matrimony, and I predict, that within 3 or 4 years we are going to be discussing pedophilia only for…
Well, Madam Speaker, I guess it is clear for the whole world to see there will not be an hour special order by the Member from Massachusetts followed by my special order. Mr. Frank told me earlier in the week that he was going to critique…
On policy, with few exceptions, abortion being the most notable, the country is conservative. Is that not a given? Even Ross Perot agrees with that. The American people say they want smaller government, lower taxes, balanced budgets, less…
Politicians like Robert Dornan
