I get so ticked off at you intellectually lazy people who think that the government is God, that every dollar they get or spend is somehow sacred. There is more fraud and waste and misuse. If the federal government were held accountable to the law as corporations are held accountable, half the federal government would be in prison.

Rush Limbaugh

The foundations demand that public schools and teachers be held accountable for performance, but they themselves are accountable to no one. If their plans fail, no sanctions are levied against them. They are bastions of unaccountability.

Benjamin Crump

The path to a better future goes directly through our public schools. I have nothing against private schools, parochial schools and home schooling, and I think that parents with the means and inclination should choose whatever they believe is best for their children. But those choices cannot compete, and cannot come at the expense of what has been -- and what must always be -- the great equalizer in our society, a free and equal public education.

Howard Dean

It is rare for people to say they want to be held accountable, but in reality, everyone wants everyone else to be held accountable.

David Cottrell

You can't run a society or cope with its problems if people are not held accountable for what they do.

John Leo

As artists, we are blessed to be able to make money but, on the same note, are held accountable for our federal tax obligations just like everyone else.

Rick Ross

As I understand the American Founders, the most brilliant and daring idea they had was that it's possible to create a free society that could stay free forever.

Os Guinness

I was disappointed in how [Bill] Clinton, like [Jimmy] Carter, used the founders to argue for huge expansions in federal power, clearly beyond what the founders could have ever conceived.

Paul Kengor

The presidential news conference is indispensable because it is the only forum in our society where you can be questioned on a regular basis and held accountable.
