• Juzgado según todos los criterios que la historia ha aplicado a los gobiernos, el Gobierno soviético de Rusia es una de las peores tiranías que han existido en el mundo. No concede derechos políticos. Gobierna mediante el terror. Castiga las opiniones políticas. Suprime la libertad de expresión. No tolera más periódicos que los suyos. Persigue al cristianismo con un celo y una astucia nunca igualados desde los tiempos de los emperadores romanos. En este momento se dedica a pisotear a los pueblos de Georgia y a ejecutar a sus líderes por centenares.

• In battle, combatants engaged in war against America get no due process and may lawfully be killed. But citizens not in a battlefield - however despicable - are guaranteed a trial by our Constitution. No one argues that Americans who commit treason shouldn't be punished. The maximum penalty for treason is death. But the Constitution specifies the process necessary to convict.

• America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching 'Breaking Bad' the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f__k'. And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f__k'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'?
