Liberty built civilization. It can rebuild civilization.

Libertarianism is the enemy of all racism.

I have a personal belief that you never have to give up liberty for security. You can still provide security without sacrificing our Bill of Rights.

What we need to do is not only live within our means, but start paying down the deficit, and offer an opportunity at least for the next generation to get out.

But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.

Why does the U.S. care which flag will be hoisted on a small piece of land thousands of miles away?

To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution.
