In the nineteenth century, slavery was the greatest wrong, and government never stood so tall as when it was redressing that wrong.

I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.

Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.

Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.

Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.

Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea.

Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government.
