Conservatism is a hard choice for a society that has become accustomed to big government and big entitlements promoted by liberals.

As the people of the United States enjoy the great merit of having established a system of Government on the basis of human rights, and of giving it a form without example, which, as they believe, unites the greatest national strength with the best security for public order and individual liberty, they owe to themselves, to their posterity and to the world, a preservation of the system in its purity, its symmetry, and its authenticity.

At heart, American conservatives like myself are believers in the Constitution. We believe that the principles embodied in the Constitution are enduring, and that to whatever extent we deviate from them we put our liberties at risk.

Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its principles are the founding principles.

The conservative movement today is like that tall ship with its proud captain: strong, accomplished but veering off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of big government republicanism.

A good constitution is infinitely better than the best despot.

You get married and have kids, and you get sick of having the government take your money and tell you what to do. I'm just a conservative guy.

I stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, personal responsibility, so the Republican Party will support me.

What the Founding Fathers created in the Constitution is the most magnificent government on the face of the Earth, and the reason is this: because it was intended to preserve the American society and the American spirit, not to transform it or destroy it.

Conservatives define themselves in terms of what they oppose.

A government of laws, not of men.
