• One of the basic philosophical tenets of conservatism - which says that the more power devolves from the federal government to the states, the greater individual freedom grows - is just flatly contradicted by crucial junctures in the country's life, most conspicuously in the 1860s and 1960s, when it's been the federal government that's interceded against the states to secure individual freedom.

• The Constitution was written to protect individual freedom and limit the ability of the government to encroach upon it. The liberals don't like that. The Democrats are very unhappy.

So they want a new Bill of Rights that spells out what government can do instead of a Bill of Rights that tells government what it can't do.

• America is fundamentally conservative. People want a strong national defense. They want low taxes. They want individual freedoms. There's no doubt that the Republican party has got to rebuild. We've got to restructure. We've got to let new leaders come to the fore. But at the end of the day, those fundamental core principles are the ones that have made the nation great, not just the party affecting them.

• A delicate balance is required to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an economic system, while also safeguarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and individual freedoms. But there is another temptation which we must especially guard against: the simplistic reductionism which sees only good or evil; or, if you will, the righteous and sinners.

• Todo dispositivo empleado para reforzar la libertad individual debe tener como objetivo principal el menoscabo del carácter absoluto del poder. Todo indica que este menoscabo no se produce fortaleciendo al individuo y enfrentándolo a los poseedores del poder, sino distribuyendo y diversificando el poder y enfrentando a una categoría o unidad de poder contra otra. Cuando el poder es uno, el individuo derrotado, por fuerte e ingenioso que sea, no puede tener refugio ni recurso.
