Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.
In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican with God as my witness not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.
In my wildest imagination I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts – in a poor black neighborhood in the poor rural community of Eufaula Oklahoma – would someday be called Congressman.
My work in the House of Representatives at this time in my life is completed. It is time to return home.
Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings but let me tell you something – history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.
I'm not driven to get back into politics. It's not on my top five things to do before I die but saying that I may be in politics in the next year or the next ten years. I've been on the front line for 12 years four in state government eight on the national level.
Republicans and Democrats have used accounting gimmicks and competing government analyses to deceive the public into believing that 2 + 2 = 6. If our leaders cannot agree on the numbers if 'facts' are fictional how can they possibly have a substantive debate on solutions?
Everything I am I owe to my faith and secondly to parents who were old school.
I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things – being tenacious about it.
Individual responsibility hard work paying attention in school faith family all these things are important.
The measure of a man is not how great his faith is but how great his love is. We must not let government programs disconnect our souls from each other.
I think that anybody that stays in school gets good grades pays the price I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education they should be able to do that.
