“People are invariably surprised to hear me say I am both an atheist and an agnostic, as if this somehow weakens my certainty. I usually reply with a question like, â€œWell, are you a Republican or an American?â€ The two words serve different concepts and are not mutually exclusive. Agnosticism addresses knowledge; atheism addresses belief. The agnostic says, â€œI don't have a knowledge that God exists.â€ The atheist says, â€œI don't have a belief that God exists.â€ You can say both things at the same time. Some agnostics are atheistic and some are theistic.”

The center core of what we believe, that America is a nation with an economy, not an economy just in some global marketplace with open borders, but we are a nation with a culture and a reason for being.”
“In my world, even sure bets are not certain; 'Cause you'll get the picture, then find out it's the cropped version.”
