Quotes from former Congressman JC Watts, Jr.

Former Congressman JC Watts, Jr., gave a great and inspiring ‘speech’ recently at the Stephens County 6th Annual Fish Fry on May 15. Some quotes from JC’s talk he attributes to his mom, dad, and grandmother:

Joke: On Obamas first visit to a fast food restaurant, he ordered everything on the menu. He thought it was a teleprompter.

JC’s dad once told him…….“you don’t ever want to meet your hero. You’ll find he has flaws just like you.”

JC's grandmother told him....“What’s in the well, will come up in the bucket.”

“Progress requires change, but not all change is progress.”

“America is suffering from ‘gracious decay’. If it feels good do it…”

“[Obama’s] healthcare bill will bankrupt America.”

“If the atheist is right, at the end of the day, I look like an idiot. If the atheist is wrong…they are gonna burn in hell.”

“We don’t need more taxes, we need more taxpayers.”

“I want my kids to inherit an exceptional Oklahoma, an exceptional America.”

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because

we destroyed ourselves."

President Abraham Lincoln

CANDIDATE ~ NO!
