“Obama likes to quote great men but will never be a great man himself. I can't stand it when our leader goes around apologizing for who we are.”

“I'm allowed to have my opinions as an American, but it seems the Left becomes very intolerant when you have an opinion other than what they state.”

“I'm kind of like Britney Spears having a headache. Everybody wants to know about it.”

“I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white. There's right and wrong.”

“I've always found a way to make my way, and now I've had the fortune of being hired by a great company - Chrysler Corporation - one of the original Big Three.”

“I'm cynical by nature, but I am also very hopeful because I see people from the Left and the Right showing up to these tea parties. You have people, bikers, union members and guys in three-piece suits showing up to these things.”

“Since I became part of the zeitgeist, I've been called a sellout many times.”

“Not all Republicans are rich, dress in three-piece suits, and have $200 haircuts. I'm somebody who's lived from paycheck to paycheck. I'm focusing on my blue-collar roots - I've worked side by side with union people.”

“I just know whenever I fall off His path, things get really hard. So I just stick with what God tells me to do.”

“It's an American worker's right to unionize for sure, but that being said, don't expect me not to point out when or if union leadership takes advantage of union members.”

“If a kid is being bullied at school, my advice to them is to punch the bully in the face. The government can create as many boards, commissions, and informational sessions on sensitivity that it wants. The fact is, we still have bullies, and we still have victims who are trained not to stand up for themselves.”

“The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes; they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America.”

“I have lived in Toledo, Ohio, off and on throughout my entire life, and I have plenty of friends who are union members. Sometimes we agree politically and sometimes not, but it has never kept us from being friends.”

“One thing I've been thinking about is taking the social issues out of national politics. For example, if Georgia wanted abortion and Alabama didn't, that's going to be up to the people in Georgia. I can't sway them. Would I give them advice not to? Absolutely. Would I say it's wrong? Yes.”

“In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the union, in this case UAW. There's no choice - it's a union shop - the employees voted to have it that way, and in America, that's the way it is.”

“Can a conservative work safely and soundly in a union environment - in a shop filled with union workers, activists, voters and life-long supporters of the Democrat Party? You betcha.”

“It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative.”

“I'm a flash in the pan: a novelty.”

“Learn the Constitution. Then when someone wants to be elected, hold their feet to the fire and make them follow it because that's what we need to get back to. It works so well when we follow it.”

“When you can't ask a question of your leaders anymore, that gets scary.”
