Waiting for a Freedom Party

You know who else is waiting for the Freedom Party? The Democrats, that's who. Because a Freedom Party would split the conservative vote on election day, and so give the Democrats every major seat everywhere in the country.

I want to take John Stossel’s millions and give them to my favorite charity.

Everybody thinks they can have just a little bit of a Nanny State. They are dead wrong.

Freedom does not mean doing whatever we want.
