Quote

No American conservative has ever argued that the government should never be involved in peoples' lives. That is anarchy, and we don't argue for that.

We do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives.

We don't want our government building files on what people think about their government.

I don't like the idea that the government has so much of a say in things.

But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.

We can't do without government, but we do need it to be more effective.

Nobody thinks in terms of human beings. Governments don't, why should we? They talk about people and the proletariat; I talk about the suckers and the mugs. It's the same thing.

We need a government, alas, because of the nature of humans.

We don't want the government to have anything we don't have, because government isn't 'We The People' anymore.

Nobody is opposed to paying taxes; governments need to coordinate, work together and simplify the law.
