I talked to an FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system, and it appeared they would have young women who became pregnant would get them into the…
Do you really believe that the ones that want to destroy the United States are more stupid than these entrepreneurs in China, than these people in Mexico?
The explosions will not happen for 10 or 15 or 20 years and then you will be one of those blips.
It first came to my attention when some of us were traveling to the Middle East last August, a year ago. And a lady on the plane was telling one of our group that they were about to have their second granddaughter. Her husband was with…

You have to believe that the terrorists are more stupid than these enterprising people.

At a time when we're billions of dollars behind on what we need to spend to keep up our parks and the Federal land that's owned right now, this bill irresponsibly adds $900 million per year for 30 years. It's not enough that we're going to…
The last 2 days we have seen some extraordinary things on this floor. There was a bill, well intentioned, to help those not only first responders, but anybody who may have suffered from inhaling what happened on 9/11. September 12 was an…
You know, at a time when 42 cents out of every dollar we are spending, we are allocating here in this body is having to be borrowed and someday paid back by children and the children's children, some of whom may be watching right now, it…
I urge my colleagues to support this resolution for the wonderful, outstanding job the United States Men's National Soccer Team did in representing this country. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of House Resolution 1527 to congratulate the…
I appreciate my new friend for yielding. And going back to a comment from good Dr. Gingrey from Georgia about the $862 billion stimulus package, because I know he recalls and others recall that CBO told us that it was a $787 billion…
I love having a new Congressman here who's so good at math. The question is: We have heard repeatedly that the majority wants to have a green economy like that in Spain. Now we've heard from Spain, and it turns out they're having to…
I do appreciate my friends from Georgia and the wonderful contributions that they have made to enlightenment with regard to these issues. There is an issue that we want to recognize and take up tonight, and it's a wonderful topic, the…
It should be noted in all those little areas, you talk about all the new parts of government that are created and brought together in this--it's not a health care bill. It's a GRE--government running everything--bill. But they all have…
If the gentleman will yield back for a moment, I owed the Army 4 years from an Army scholarship to Texas A&M. From the years of being a Boy Scout, I was good at orienteering, which is the process of taking a map and a compass and finding…
I would ask my friend to stay with me one more moment as we have been paying tribute to Boy Scouts of America, the organization, what they've done. I know that as an Eagle Scout, as a Scoutmaster, my friend, Mr. Thompson has many Courts of…
Well, to follow up on some of the numbers that my friend, Mr. Thompson, was quoting: Total youth served in the hundred years of scouting here in the United States, 114,304,329; adult volunteers, 33,364,261; total number of merit badges…
They made you learn to do it with one hand. In case you were hanging from a rope on a mountainside, you could reach up with the other hand and tie that bow and be able to suspend yourself, just hanging with the rope, without having to hold…
I would submit that it appeared that after the Republicans not only had Congress, as they took over in January of 2005, but then also had the White House beginning January of 2001, that there apparently is a giddiness from controlling both…
It's always an honor to be on this floor. But at times it gets very difficult hearing positions put as being mine which were not mine. I would like to point out, for example, about student loans. I have student loans. We gave up--well, I…
All this spin is supposed to make us respond positively: 'Wow! Happy days are here again. The recovery must be really gaining steam.' And we are supposed to conclude that maybe we don't need to throw out the Democrats in the midterm…
