I'm not a Republican.

True republicanism is the sovereignty of the people. There are natural and imprescriptible rights which an entire nation has no right to violate.

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

I want the American people to understand that conservatism is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.

I'm not a Republican, and I'm not a Democrat.

Conservatism is not the problem. Conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. Conservatism isn't even really an ideology. Conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. That's all it is.

There are a great number of Republicans who are economically conservative but have hearts and a consciousness about their country.

At its core, conservatism is not an anti-government movement, and it's not a no-government movement.

Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving.

I am very much a Republican.
