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 have every right to know how my taxes are spent, how every single penny of it is spent. I have the right to know that.

I tend to like to read history - recent history, because I find that much more intriguing than just a writer's imagination.
Jesse Ventura -
My major criticism of today's media is, they're no longer reporting the news, they're creating it. When that happens, you're in deep trouble.
Jesse Ventura -
Let me say this: I'm paranoid of the government. They've lost my trust. They've lied to me so many times that I don't know what to believe from them anymore.
Jesse Ventura -
I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.
Jesse Ventura -
I think they should let gays in the military because we are the United States of America. And if a gay person wants to serve his or her country, why should they not be allowed to?
Jesse Ventura -
If the government mandates anything with a price tag on it, then it ought to fund the project.

My position is that it isn't government's job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.
Jesse Ventura -
Some felt I'm not academically qualified, and they're right.
Jesse Ventura -
I'm kind of like Che Guevera. I lead the revolution, but at some point I turn it over to someone else.
Jesse Ventura -
I'm tolerant of all religions... I don't care if someone wants to go out there and worship the bark on a tree.
Jesse Ventura -
People don't like politicians.
Jesse Ventura -
You can have solid third party politics, but the problem is you're all lumped in to all the fringe groups. That's a stereotype that happens.

The first thing out of Fidel Castro's mouth to me, he looked me right in the eye and said, 'You're a man of great courage.'
Jesse Ventura -
I have metal in my body, so every time I go to an airport, the metal detector goes off.
Jesse Ventura -
You can't legislate morality.
Jesse Ventura -
I've never been arrested in my life. Never had cuffs put on me, never been charged with a crime, never spent one day in jail.
Jesse Ventura -
There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.
Jesse Ventura -
I believe very strongly that guns are instruments of death. That's all they're used for; there's no purpose for them other than to kill. I think you have to understand that in order to respect them. I have no fear of my teenage son handling weapons, because he has that respect.

-
I don't believe we need the government's help as much as some think we do. That belief sets me apart from the Democrats, since their way of dealing with everything is to tax and spend.
Jesse Ventura -
When you drink fluoridated water, you're drinking liquid Prozac. You drink enough of it, even though it's a small amount, drink it for decades and decades and what does Prozac do to you? It dumbs you down; it makes you docile.
Jesse Ventura -
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.
Jesse Ventura -
Monsanto can do anything they want to you, and put anything they want into your foods. There's nothing you can do about it.
