October 2, 2009: America must not turn a blind eye to Iran’s secret activity

September 24, 2009: Broun’s Bill LIMITS Terrorists

“In no way could I support this unconstitutional bill that punishes criminals who kill a homosexual, transvestite, or transsexual more harshly than criminals who kill a police officer, a member of the military, or a child. Regardless of its motivation, I believe every violent crime is appalling and all victims should have equal worth in the eyes of the law."
