The message is pretty clear: Americans are sick and tired of the doubletalk coming out of Washington, of us going home and saying we're conservative and then coming up here and voting for 10,000 earmarks. We can't fool America anymore; the media is too good. They're reporting what we're really doing.

We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.

You've got the Democratic Party that now depends on more government spending and actual building the dependence on government in order to increase their political party.

I'm a conservative first, and I believe that, if we do a better job of helping Americans understand what we're trying to do, to showcase every place in the country that our ideas are working at the state level, that that will help those at the federal level who want to carry those policies.

Anti-Semitism has no business infiltrating American politics, it has no business infiltrating our college campuses, and it has no business in the halls of Congress.

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

Liberal democracy must finally become the vital element of our society.

Folk art has never been much about politics; it's about action and utility.
