I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps. He won two Congressional Medals of Honor, and he wrote the highly controversial antiwar book 'War is a Racket.'

If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra.

They could care less about the public. The public comes in third. Number one is keeping their power. Number two are the special interests, the people footing the bill. Finally, the public good might be third - if they can profit from it. If there's no profit, they could care less.

I want to believe that bin Laden and al-Qaeda were responsible for the 9/11 attacks, but now I have doubts. If they were responsible, I am beginning to think it was not without some knowledge of those impending attacks on our side.

Okay, fluoride in the water to help our teeth. Well, shouldn't that be the job of your mom and dad? To teach you how to brush your teeth and use mouth wash? What do we need the government to do it for? Clearly, what a scam. Fluoride in the water.

I'm a warrior at heart; I'm an ex-Navy Seal. I'm too old to wage war anymore, and so now I wage it mentally. And so I find politics very stimulating; it's war without guns.
Jesse Ventura -
I will not be a Democrat or a Republican. They are the problem, not the solution. We need to abolish political parties in this country.
Jesse Ventura -
There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag.

I find that the history books that we teach our kids with are not fully truthful, in my opinion.
Jesse Ventura -
I give kudos to them for having the courage to bring me here... The risk is, I'm not the status quo.
Jesse Ventura -
I speak my mind. That's who I am.
Jesse Ventura -
I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead their lives as they choose, they will succeed.
Jesse Ventura -
Sarah Palin's a quitter.
Jesse Ventura -
I would rather face the terrorists than lose my civil liberties. If protecting our safety means taking away our Bill of Rights, then could I be so crass and bold as to scream 'Give me liberty or give me death'? Once freedom is gone-the bedrock foundation that built our country-what's left to stand for and believe in?

If you want to stop illegal immigration, you have to make it so that - so that the people that hire the illegal immigrants will not be in a position to hire them.
Jesse Ventura -
I believe in the separation of church and state... We all have our own religious beliefs. There are people out there who are atheists, who don't believe at all... They are all citizens of Minnesota and I have to respect that.
Jesse Ventura -
I get very disturbed when I see people demonstrating with signs that say 'Welfare Rights.' There is nothing in the Constitution that says you have a right to welfare! Do you know what welfare is? It's taking money from someone who is working to give to someone who's not!

After Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, I was heartened to see him issue an Open Government Initiative on his first full day in office.
Jesse Ventura -
Could someone please tell me how this will affect me? Come on, this is Harvard, folks. I came all the way out here to learn this.
Jesse Ventura -
The SuperPACs and the Citizens United ruling that gives corporations a voice in the political process are all bad news. They made it so you can now lie, and the politician being promoted on that lie will not be held responsible for it.

Governments are run by people. People can be bad.
Jesse Ventura -
To this day, I'm against the draft. I believe the military is much stronger if it's an all-volunteer organization.
Jesse Ventura -
I'm an equal opportunity despiser.
Jesse Ventura -
It seems that elections today are more popularity than they are substantial issues.
