"I support a dictatorship."
"I sympathize with Fujimori. Fujimorization is the way out for Brazil."
"The Military Police should have killed 1,000 rather than 111 prisoners in the Carandiru massacre."
"I want to show my revolt with the mainstream media, somewhat servile, which strongly criticized the Military School of Porto Alegre just because nine out of 84 students decided to choose between Count Dracula, Hercules, Nostradamus, Queen Catherine, Attila - only FHC was missing -, Hitler as the most admired historical personality. If they had elected FHC, they would logically be electing the father of the most corrupt government in the history of Brazil, because he does not admit that any denunciation of corruption is cleared by this House. He is not an example for youth. A serious school, with the Military School of Porto Alegre, in order to have quality, must have freedom of expression. It should be reiterated that the students - most of them are minors - pay for this magazine, so they are free to write whatever they want. We must respect this youth that begins, from these debates and this matter in the press, to prepare to be, in the future. At the same time, I would like to criticize the Army's Social Communication Center, which announced that it will be aware of the magazine. These boys, among many others, are the children of the military and are really lacking in order and discipline in this country. While our President of the Republic does not give an example of this, they have to elect those who knew, in one way or another, to impose order and discipline, although, as the young student of the Military School who has not been to the Preparatory School of Army Cadets, named Roberto Dias Torres Júnior, we also disagree with the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler."
"Pinochet should have killed more people."
"I'm in favor of torture. You know that. And the people are too."
"Through the vote, you'll change nothing in this country. Nothing, absolutely nothing. We'll only get change, unfortunately, when we go into a civil war here someday and do a work the military regime didn't do, killing as much as thirty thousand people, starting with FHC. It's all right if some innocent people die. Innocent people die in many wars."
"There is no doubt. I would launch a coup on the same day. [Congress] doesn't work and I'm sure that at least 90% of the population would applaud. Congress nowadays does nothing; it votes only for what the president wants. If he's who rules, who decides and who gloats above the Congress, then let the coup be launched, let it be a dictatorship."
"It's my advice and I do it: I evade all the taxes I can."
"I can't even go to Paraguay with my salary."
"He's a hope to Latin America and I would like if that philosophy came to Brazil. I think he's unique. I intend to go to Venezuela and to try to meet him. I want to pass a week there and to try to schedule an audience. I think he'll do what the militaries did in Brazil in 1964, with much more strength. I just hope the opposition doesn't go into a guerrilla warfare like they did here."
"I never hit my ex-wife. But many times I wanted to shoot her."
"I defend torture. A drug dealer who acts on the streets against our children must to be immediately put on a pau-de-arara. There would be no human rights in this case. There would be pau-de-arara, beating. The same thing for kidnappers. The guy must be broken to open his mouth."
"I will not fight against it nor discriminate, but if I see two men kissing on the street, I'll beat them up."
"I would never rape you, because you don't deserve it."
"Competence? It's a problem for each deputy. If I want to hire a prostitute for my office, I'll hire her. If I want to hire my mother, I'll hire her. It'll be my problem."
"The only mistake of the dictatorship was torturing and not killing."
"Those that look for bones are dogs."
"If one's son begins acting kind of gay, then when he is spanked he'll change his behavior."
"Preta, I’m not going to discuss promiscuity with anyone. I don't run that risk because my children are well educated and they don't live in a promiscuous environment such as is, unfortunately, yours."
"I wouldn't enter an airplane flown by a quota pilot or accept to be operated by a quota doctor."
"I would beat him. You can be sure of that. If acting with energy is torturing, he'll be tortured."
"I'm a victim of prejudice against heterosexuals."
"It's a mess. The next steps are the adoption of children and the legalization of pedophilia."
