The Public Record
I wanted to just get back to the Japanese experiment, because there seems to be some folks that believe in that government- knows-best socialism that we see all over the globe; and unfortunately, it creeps into many of the philosophies and…
I just want to reiterate, the theme here is: would you rather have a paycheck or an unemployment check? Would you rather be independent or dependent? These tax credits, these investment credits create jobs. Yesterday I was with a friend of…
George Bush has never strayed from that. In this House since September 11 we have had lots of challenges and the House has moved quickly for a number of reasons to give the President the tools he needs to fight the war and to fight…
I want to commend the freshman sitting in the Chair for his very careful and thorough job tonight, and being patient with frustrated Members like me. We have had a very productive year on the House side of the branch of the legislature…
I was debating one of the school prayer debates that we have so often here in Washington with a gentleman named Barry Lynn who allegedly is a preacher, but one of these preachers who has no church. He heads a group called Americans for…
I want to say finally, prior to September 11, 70 percent of Americans surveyed said that they pray regularly. After September 11, 97 percent. America has gotten back down on its knees, and I am glad that we have an administration that…
Well, I agree with the gentleman. Another issue that the House has passed and the United States' other body has not done anything on, is none other than human cloning. We had a very lively debate in July about that. Now, suddenly, there is…
Okay, Mr. Speaker, and I will not use this one again. However, it does show a particular philosophy of a body that wants to spend money rather than a body that wants to preserve and protect jobs. And I think if maybe there is a real…
The other thing, when we talk about security, obviously we need economic security, we need energy security, we need to have security so our people will be able to spiritually compete in the free enterprise system, but none of it means…
I think that is the case. This has broad bipartisan support. It is a mainstream reflection of America. Certainly there are people on the fringe who maybe want to turn schools into theological institutions. I think that the main reason I…
What happens, the small businesses, in order to get bank loans, cannot get their insurance because they have a terrorist exclusion in the policy. So what we have done in the House, in a responsible manner, is we have said we will help…
the House this year has had a very, very productive year. We have passed a good education bill, we have passed a faith-based initiative bill, we have passed an energy package; and, of course, we have passed an economic stimulus bill. A…
It is very important. And I think if the majority leader in the Senate is worried about people actually getting an abundant supply of gasoline, which apparently he is opposed to, then killing this bill still is not the solution, because…
This simply lets the Corps of Engineers get rid of some excess property they do not want anymore. It allows the county to take that property and trade it to a private developer, 12 acres; but in exchange, they are going to get 40 acres…
I hope, as a Christmas present to the American people and to the economy and to all the jobs that are out there at risk, that the other body will in fact pass this job security program so that we can give the American people a very merry…
It is harder to do quality control on our own government people. ... This is not politics, this is not creating jobs; this is a security program.
It amazes me, as I watch television on Sundays, that every week across the aisle, there is a new Senator born who is an expert on security. Yet, I do not recall them being named to any key security committee. They are not in charge on the…
I just want to say, Mr. Speaker, that I think this is an important step today to keep this thing going. We are operating under somewhat duress and unusual circumstances, but I am glad to see that the Committee on Appropriations, on a…
I remember years ago the FDA gave us an example of something that they had not yet approved of, and it was a self-testing device that was a very thin piece of kind of a rubbery substance maybe about 6 inches in diameter. It was a circle…
it is a great pleasure today to introduce my friend, Dr. George Dillard of the Peachtree City Christian Church in Peachtree City, Georgia. George Dillard and his wife, Renee, and his children have been friends of mine for many years. We…
I do want to say, first of all, before we go on, number 35 in the Undeniable Truths, too many Americans cannot laugh at themselves anymore. I think that that is what Rush Limbaugh has taught us to do. It is okay to laugh while discussing…
But I wanted to say on that subject, number nine in the 35 Undeniable Truths of Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of the 20th century.
I think there is a lot of wisdom on the street and I know one thing, that Congressmen do not become veterans without listening for that wisdom and trying to bring it to Washington instead of trying to bring Washington's wisdoms home. One…
I just want to address some comments made by my good friend from Ohio about the Osama bin Laden al-Qaeda organization and our policy in the Middle East. Osama bin Laden kind of backed into the Palestinian situation saying, this is going to…
America will never get used to terrorism. America will never tolerate terrorism. And neither should the world. That is why the United States of America on this Sunday made a very critical decision and action in striking out against the…
Politicians like Jack Kingston
