Franklin Roosevelt still surrounded himself with a lot of strong women. I think that they in many ways helped give him the strength that he needed to get us through the Depression and get us through World War II.

That’s how the Patriot Act got passed. Bush got that through and nobody objected because they felt that the country faced serious threats from abroad and it’s still in place. President Obama allowed it to continue. See, when you give up something, it’s very, very difficult to get it back.
But I think Americans need to know when they’re giving up their privacy. I think that’s just as important as the speech issue. So the government is really not necessarily protecting peoples’ right to free speech as well as they’re not saying they have a right to privacy.
Being in a wheelchair for 30 years. I’m not whining about it because I don’t dwell on things I can’t do anything about, you know. I never really think about until somebody mentions it. I did take a bullet. If I had it done over, I’d probably have done the same thing again.
The end of the cold war had deprived the Republican Party of its longstanding edge on the national security issue and left the GOP looking for a new defining crusade. Despite the Fitzgerald scandal, the Republicans chose family values as the theme for their 1992 national convention in Houston.
The French worshipped [Benjamin] Franklin as an Enlightenment god whose famous kite-flying experiment debunked superstition by proving that lightning was nothing more than electricity.
By the age of 42, Ben Franklin was America's first media mogul, with his own news network, and so rich that he could retire in 1747 to concentrate on the passions that would make him famous: inventions, science experiments, politics and women.
Like America's leaders throughout history, the Founders had vigorous sex drives and vibrant sex lives that played a major role in building our nation.
Today we tend to imagine the people who built the early Republic to have been as dignified and composed as the historic documents they left behind. The Founders were indeed noble and gracious, but they were also earthy, lusty and as interested in sex and sex scandal as we are today.
Traditionally, historians have been squeamish about examining the sex lives of presidents because they do not consider private affairs to be a worthy subject of 'serious' history. The result is that our leaders' lives have been so whitewashed that people think Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln…
We're irreverent to the point that we're actually iconoclastic. And we offend people.
The rich and the privileged have always had their leather-bound editions of pornography in their libraries and they have their art museums. Hustler really is the poor man's art museum.
It's not money, it's not politics—it's who controls the pussy that controls the world.
All of our laws are made on morals; I concede that. It's not right to murder someone. But "family values" and morals today are a label for your sexual behavior, and that's what I find disturbing.
Women are smarter than men, they work harder than men, they're much more caring than men, they're much more committed.
People in Hollywood are a greedy bunch of bastards who will use you up and drop you like a hot potato. I would rank politicians higher than I would the studio heads in this city.
After the first million, money isn't important.
And what most people don’t understand is it’s not the freedom that you love that’s important. It’s the freedom that you hate the most. So you have to be able to defend most sides of the spectrum or otherwise you’re saying it’s fine for one person to have it, but not another.
There’s only one excuse for censorship. That’s Bill O’Reilly. I’ll vote for that.
We pay a price for everything to live in a free society. And what we pay for free speech is toleration. We have to tolerate things that we don’t necessarily like so we can be free.
