Steve King Quotations

All Americans have a sacred duty to guarantee Social Security benefits to our nation's senior citizens

Our Founding Fathers crafted a constitutional Republic for the first time in the history of the world because they were shaping a form of government that would not have the failures of a democracy in it, but had the representation of democracy in it.

We should recognize that on the day that we are born, our glass is half full. In America your chance to fill your glass the rest of the way up is greater than it is anyplace else on this planet.

The solution really has to lie within the Iraqi people.

I created jobs and saved the taxpayers money on every road I built.

That's the key: get the constitution in place. Get rule of law in place, capital will come, electricity will follow.

In Iowa, we take care of people. That's all I think I need to say.

But we need to quit taxing people upon death. No taxation without respiration.

I guess it goes to show how important free throws are.

I thought after 11 days off, we looked rusty. I'm hoping that is what it is.

Jesse hit some outside shots that were real important. Topsail was closing in on Justin.

Our misdirection stuff was working well, ... We still want to be want to be balanced, but you have to take what they're giving you, too.

We had five dropped passes that would have made a difference and he was just out of sync on a few others, ... Overall, he did a good job.

We had one of our best free-throw shooters and talking to their coach, they had one of their best free-throw shooters at the line down the stretch.

We still have to see him practice and take a hit. If he is able to go hard he will help all of our offensive weapons. We may be able to play (junior running back) Buck (Johnson) more at slot.

We came out and hit some outside shots and that got us going. We had a hard time in the post game during the first half because Lejeune was doubling down and that forced us to hit from the outside.

We've been running pretty decent but we just can't seem to finish anything. Still, we believe we have a car that works pretty well and we're excited about the season.

When you play hard, good things will happen. We had better pressure and we got some easy looks off turnovers.

As this moves forward, I think it will grow,

Our defense is really flying to the ball. We've added a couple twists in certain situations and formations to confuse other team's offenses. We're quick and aggressive.

Our defense bent a little, but didn't break and took advantage of their mistakes. Our offense took care of the ball and took what they gave us.

Our depth isn't too bad. But we'll have to see how they act under fire. We did O.K. in our scrimmage (at Black River Falls Saturday), but Chippewa (Falls, tonight at 7 p.m.) is a pretty good team.

They throw some out of their wing-T and have decent size, ... We'll have to play well again to win.

They have a nice defensive team, also, ... They are very good up front, have nice linebackers and awfully good athletes in the secondary.

It was a real surprise -- and the only time I'd heard Les speechless.

It's only one game. For a lot of these kids, it was their first experience at the varsity level. Chippewa Falls has an experienced team. We made some mistakes, and they made us pay for those mistakes.

If she studied her history, she'd recognize Joe McCarthy was a great American hero,

I put up a principled vote, and I believe that my vote will be easier to defend every day as the public begins to see where the money is being spent.

He's a pretty disciplined at staying in the pocket. He'd rather move up than sprint out and in to trouble. He's starting to grasp the offense fairly well and looks like a playmaker. If something's not available downfield, he won't get greedy and force the issue.

You can't attract capital investment from outside Iraq unless you have a constitution... get rule of law in place, capital will come, electricity will follow,

The kids are excited and real happy. The most important thing was playing well.

The current practice of extending U.S. citizenship to hundreds of thousands of 'anchor babies' must end because it creates a magnet for illegal immigration into our country. Now is the time to ensure that the laws in this country do not encourage law-breaking.

There`s one way of looking at the Trump phenomenon that he`s essentially a Doofus or he is an opportunist.

I hope we are able to shift debate over to the Middle East and change this debate to how we help the people in their home countries rather than believing we can be their relief valve for the poverty and the grief that`s in the world by bringing people here.

These two value systems [islam and U.S constitution] do not clash in any way, and my son is a member of the United States Armed Forces active duty. He`s proud to serve his country. And there are many more people who are exact same thing.

Muslims are absolutely integrating into the United States. You can go nearly any community and you find people opening up clinics that mostly non-Muslims go in to get services. They are feeding people who are hungry, American citizens, mostly people who are not Muslim. They`re running for office.

Muslims are a part of the fabric of this country. By the way, they always have been, and more so now than ever.

I think Steve King is absolutely wrong and I just hope that we can try to reach higher ground, because when you are spewing this kind of nonsense, things that Donald Trump says, Ben Carson says, but also [Marco] Rubio and [Ted] Cruz and even Jeb Bush have said.

If Jews in the name of their religion were killing Americans, then I think that would be an appropriate comparison. But as far as I know, there`s only one religion that`s doing that, and it is a segment of the religion of Islam that`s doing that.

Jesus didn`t teach people to kill.

What Planned Parenthood is doing is not the faith that I believe in, but Jesus never ordered anyone to be killed and he never raised his hand to injure anyone specifically. But Mohammed did and there is a big difference in this.

It`s difficult to judge people from 100 years ago by today`s standards. But I go back into the early middle part of the 19th century also. The know-nothings were a Protestant movement, and they rejected Catholics and didn`t want Catholics brought into America.

How can we be so confident that we are correct about the religion of Islam that it is really different in this insidious way and people 50 years from now, people aren`t going to back on.

I would say that Catholics came in and competed with the Protestant work ethic. That is one thing. And they did assimilate into the broader society and a lot of them, especially Irish Catholic did their best to sound like they were English rather than Irish by dropping and the O and the apostrophe.

We are hearing the imams that are preaching in places like the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The imam preached there to the migrants go in to Western Europe, build your enclaves there, breed their women and do not associate or assimilate into the broader society.

You might call that a peaceful invasion [of Muslims] but that`s the nicest thing can you call it. They`re not assimilating and they`re not assimilating because Sharia law is incompatible with the Constitution of the United States.

My point is, as civilization is progressing, Mosaic law came down from the mountain, was handed to civilization, it emerged through the Greek civilization as the Greeks were developing their Age of Reason. And we're talking about the foundation of Western Civilization, and almost concurrently with that, Roman law was emerging as well.

Which is superior, the Constitution or Sharia law? In Sharia law by their teachings is superior to everything else, it replaces everything else, it replaces the Constitution itself. So, you can`t be assimilated into the American civilization and accept Sharia law as being superior to our Constitution. It`s antithetical to Americanism.

No nation like the United States of America can continue to grow and be a strong nation if we are going to judge people because they disagree with our agenda rather than the content of their statements. We have to be critical thinkers. We have to be analytical. We should understand facts from emotion.

It needed to be in the public record that no matter the size of the disaster, no matter the level of our compassion, that we have a responsibility to get emergency help to people the right way, but we also have a responsibility to be prudent in our planning.

I've assimilated the hit. I've passed along most of what I can and now I'm prepared to live with it. But in my opinion, prices will come down.

Anybody that brings up amnesty in this Congress, we need to just take the scarlet 'A' for amnesty and pin it on them.

It is not proven, it's not science. It's more of a religion than a science.

I thought that conclusion that we leaped to right after the election, that has been disproven statistically so many times, I don't know why Republicans would advocate that advocating for comprehensive immigration reform is somehow a political solution for the Republicans losing a percentage of Hispanics. I probably have less appetite for this than either the Senate or colleagues in the House, certainly the Democrats and most likely members of the Republican Conference. They are still wrestling with trying to get their education up to a level where they can actually advocate for policy.

I think that different leaders, whether it`s Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, or Paul Ryan, saying that we`re not going to turn on each other, which is exactly what ISIS wants. I think that`s what this moment calls for and I think, right now, you see who are the pandering demagogues, and who are the people who really have a higher standard and the best public interest at heart.

Even Republicans seem to think that these undocumented Democrats could be made [GOP] voters...and what happens is that two out every three that would be legalized [and] become Democrats. And it's not 12 million. It's more like 20 million...But it isn't just the equation of 2/3 of over 20 million that will vote for the guy who opposes our conservative candidate whoever that might be, but it's also those who will leave us if we fail them...We have to go back and tie together and restore the pillars of American exceptionalism and the rule of law is essential.

So I think there's going to be a constituent backlash against this thing soon, as they see it moving in that direction...Whether they can pass something before the American public wakes up, I don't know.

La Raza stands for 'The Race' - and they say so openly. They are a pro-Hispanic organization; I will call them a racist organization. They base their philosophy on race. They advocate for those minorities that fit within the category that they define as drives them. They are apologists for illegal immigrants - and we are funding them with your tax dollars in this administration through earmarks. It is outrageous. It's an in-your-face act on the part of this Congress.

George W. Bush, another Republican who I probably didn`t agree with on much, right after 9/11 went to a mosque and joined with some Muslim leaders and said that, look, you know, we`re not going to tolerate any backlash. These people who attacked our country are criminals and they`re terrorists, and they might try to profess a religion, but they definitely violate the principles of that religion.

Earl Nightingale never let a day go by that he didn`t learn something new and, in turn, pass it on to others. It was his consuming passion.

We shouldn't turn the safety net into a hammock. It should actually be a safety net.

Even though me and Paul Ryan disagree on a whole lot of things, when he stood up and confronted those ugly words that [Donald] Trump said, I was proud of him.

The current practice of extending U.S. citizenship to hundreds of thousands of 'anchor babies' must end because it creates a magnet for illegal immigration into our country. Now is the time to ensure that the laws in this country do not encourage law-breaking.

I`d like to say is that I am a patriotic, loyal American. I love my country and the values that it stands for. And I am a Muslim.

I`m quite confident that when you spew out hateful [anti-islam]rhetoric, you green-light people who are - who have violent and who are dangerous, and that`s why we have to watch what we say. Words do matter.

Every Republican that I know of ran on the full repeal of Obamacare...The voters have spoken.

For everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds - and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. Those people would be legalized with the same act.

When the legislation that passed in the farm bill that says that it’s a federal crime to watch animals fight or to induce someone else to watch an animal fight but it’s not a federal crime to induce somebody to watch people fighting, there’s something wrong with the priorities of people that think like that.
