Please read this article on World Net Daily by Chelsea Schilling. Use the link below in the ref section.
Here are some select quotes that I pulled out of that article.
1. Dennis expressed deep concern over the “looming dollar crisis,” the nation’s “mountain of debt” and what he considers the federal government’s unconstitutional expansion of power.
He blasted Pelosi’s “disastrous” legislative agenda advocating government-run health care, cap and trade and the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, a bill that would give the president “emergency” control of the Internet.
“Everything that Nancy Pelosi has her hands on is anti-liberty and pro-government power,” Dennis said, with a laugh. “I defy anybody to show me a speech or a press release that says she’s going to somehow protect their liberties and reduce the size of government.”
2. He noted that Sen. John McCain said during his 2008 presidential campaign that Americans are buying oil from “countries that don’t like us very much.”
“It stopped me in my tracks and made me think, what if they did like us?” Dennis asked. “How would we feel about that?”
3. “I’m very leery of the government,” he said. “When I read the Constitution, I see our founders writing the document when they are very concerned about the potential abuse of power from the federal government. Every time I hear of a new scheme like cap and trade, it makes me ask, where’s the constitutional authorization to do this? Of course, it’s not there.”
4. He called the science behind the climate legislation “almost laughable.”
“The people who are advocating this say it will maybe reduce global temperatures by half of a percent by the year 2100,” he said. “Good luck getting me behind that legislation.”
5. He said he lived in Holland for a brief time and noticed the region had a strong education system in which the students speak English by the age of 9 and are well-versed in history and mathematics.
“What I found was, instead of the money going to the schools, the money followed the kids,” he said. “That’s the objective – to actually have the money go to the kids as opposed to being stuck in schools or some bureaucratic organization like the Department of Education, which may be the single biggest waste of money in the federal government.”
As for the Department of Education, Dennis proposes abandoning it altogether – and immediately.
6. While Pelosi has called enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, “un-American,” Dennis proposes an end to birthright citizenship, amnesty and government services for illegal immigrants.
7. Dennis, a member of the National Rifle Association, or NRA, said he is a proud gun owner and strong advocate of property rights.
“The Second Amendment is fine by me,” he said, “and I don’t even need a Second Amendment to tell me that I have the right to defend myself.”
