I think that this liberal progressive agenda is not the thing that the American people want and it's antithesis to who we are as a constitutional republic.

I am not just a liberal movement. I come from the progressive Left. I am trying to refresh and counter the system.

Toleration and liberty are the foundations of a great republic.

Conservatives are the heirs to the Founders' vision. But we have to act like it.
