Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone.

• The one consistent policy running through this [Clinton] administration is the love it has lavished on Marxists -- food aid for North Korea, diplomatic recognition of the Hanoi regime, chronic kowtowing to Beijing and now doing Castro's dirty work. How can the Clinton gang -- which carried the Viet Cong flag during anti-war demonstrations and decorated their dorm rooms with pictures of Che Guevara -- not feel contempt for people who insist, with every fiber of their being, that communism is mankind's mortal enemy?

• I don't think there is a 'gay lifestyle.' I think that's superficial crap, all that talk about gay culture.

Wearing earrings is not culture.
