Pat Paulsen Quotes

All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian.
Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.
I've upped my standards. Now, up yours.
If elected, I will win.
In America, any boy can grow up to become president. Or, if he never grows up, vice president.
United We Sit.
We Can Be Decisive, Probably.
Solutions are not the answer.
First there are only two ways to go. One way is neither right nor wrong and the other way isn't.

In those deep valleys of decision where the giants of government ponder the complex problem of the War on Poverty, is the answer from the valley of the giants, ho ... ho ... ho?
This is the richest nation in the world, and we'd be richer if it weren't for the poor people. There are people without clothes and shoes and socks and ties and handkerchiefs and hats and underwear...some of these are nudists...but, most of them are poor people.
Poverty is necessary. Because without it, we couldn't have a poverty program. And the poverty program has the right answer. Good administration. You can't just give poor people money. The poor people will just go out and buy food and clothes and pay rent and junk like that.
Poor people have to have jobs. But, the only jobs open are in the administration offices of the poverty program. Twelve clerks to every poor. Now, the poverty program is running out of money. It only proves that poverty is expensive. Poor people can't afford it!

Many people feel that censorship is a violation of Freedom of Speech...Bull feathers...Censorship is NOT unconstitutional. Censors have the right to censor what you hear. The Bill of Rights says nothing about Freedom of Hearing. This, of course, takes alot of the fun out of the Freedom of Speech.

However, many churches play bingo and raffles...but out of fear many do not. Proper legislation will eliminate the confusion...and every good American will be able to gamble at the church of his choice. Now to give the devil his due...there are large numbers who oppose gambling on moral grounds. Any many of their arguments sound pretty convincing.
But on closer inspection we find out that these same people are also opposed to robery, blackmail, and murder...some people will knock anything...I say let there be no understanding of our position.

RIP, Pat Paulsen, RIP. You gave a good many people a good hearty laugh - and there was that measure if truth in your with.
