I do think it is extremely important that we in America set an example and let it be known worldwide that we stand behind Israel's right to defend herself, and we truly believe that the time for that statement is now on this day of…

terrorism insurance, so that small businesses can expand and create jobs. Trade promotion authority, so that we can get American industry moving again and sell our goods overseas. Faith-based institutions, allowing them to participate in…

Further than that, if we do not call Arafat a terrorist, could we say that the PLO harbors terrorism? And certainly I think we would say yes to that, as well.

Here is little Israel surrounded by Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan on the other side of it, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Somalia, Eritrea. It is not exactly the kind of neighborhood that is very pristine and peaceful and stable to…

Rudy Giuliani said after September 11 that he felt like Winston Churchill felt when London was under attack. Today the folks all over Israel, not just in any particular city or pocket, must have that same feeling. They have now suffered…

I think that in my final words that we need to stand with our ally, Israel. We need to understand that they have the right to defend themselves, and we need to have that message heard in the Middle East that we believe that Israel does…

If the gentleman will yield, before the gentleman from New York Mr. Weiner leaves, I wanted to make a point that as long ago as July 15, 2001, the Jerusalem Post reported that there were four summer camps currently training 8- to…

Yesterday Valdosta, Georgia, and Savannah, Georgia, received the sad news that four of our service members in the First Ranger Battalion were among those who were killed in Afghanistan. We join their families and the entire Nation in…

several months ago back in October the House of Representatives passed a farm bill. Farm bills are important because in our food service delivery production chain, the government is very involved in the production end on the farm; and…

I am very impressed with the sudden interest in the economy for the liberal Democratic Party. This is really great. I just wonder, did they not know somehow there was a recession going on in October? Did they not know in December? I mean…

Mr. Chairman, this is a real easy amendment. This is a fun amendment at this time of night. Not much brain power is required on this one. Just a fair amendment. If you think about it for a minute, if you listen to the rhetorical montage we…

In terms of not having different rules and saying everybody's going to be treated differently, that is not bad. That is the way they did it in the Soviet Union. Everybody was treated right. They did not have any first amendment rights…

I want to say respectfully to my very good friend from Georgia, as well as my very good friend from Oklahoma, that civil rights is not a franchise of any one race. True, some in a race may have felt it stronger than others, but having been…

I want to say to my friends on the Democrat side, they have made a lot of good points. I think there are a lot of good points that have been made by the Republican side, too. I also want to remind my colleagues, because there are a lot of…

As we celebrate Ronald Reagan's 91st birthday, we ask ourselves, what is the essence of Reagan? Why is this man, so many years out of office, still so special and still so exciting to so many of us? Was it the fact that he lived the…

I know that there are some huge tax folks over here; and on Ronald Reagan's 91st birthday, they are going to celebrate by burying the job-creating bill which we need back in the heartland of America so desperately so that people can get to…

It is interesting to watch the liberal psyche in this town. When they do not like something, they do not come out and say, I like bigger taxes. I like bigger government. Instead they nitpick things. It is like getting a great novel like…

listening to the previous speaker, my friend from California, I wonder, did he not take economics in school? History has shown us over and over again, lowering taxes stimulates the economy; stimulating the economy gives more people jobs…

Mr. Speaker, I strongly believe the way to turn the economy around is to still let people spend their own money, rather than having government bureaucracies in Washington in their command-and-control fashion spend tax dollars. Let us…

now comes the usual liberal cadre of bleeding hearts in America lead by the former Attorney General, Ramsey Clark, saying we are mistreating the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. I just returned from Quetta, Pakistan. Quetta is an interesting…

I wanted to say that the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop), my good friend, has introduced a very timely resolution for a great American patriot. As somebody who will be representing Valdosta, Georgia, or part of Valdosta, Georgia, I…

There are three things I want to highlight. Number one is the war on drugs, the Andean counterdrug initiative. As the father of four children, I am amazed as I go into schools throughout the First District of Georgia and I visit lots and…

I think tonight we are faced with a fundamental difference between Democrats and the Republican. The question is simply this: Would someone rather have an unemployment check or would someone rather have a job. It is very simple. The…

History shows this over and over. Government helps the most when the government does not take the money away, but leaves the money with the bread winner and says you spend that money. My 16-year-old son works at the Piggly-Wiggly making a…

What he is saying is if the Arizona House works real hard and passes a plethora of legislation, such as an energy bill or a health care bill or an economic stimulus bill and then the Senate of Arizona does not pass that, then they get…
