Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

Most of the things that need to be said about the President are things he can't say himself.

Republicans prefer straight talk to politically correct talk!

The American president has a peculiar leadership responsibility to speak out for freedom.

To talk about liberty and freedom is nice, lovely, but the important thing is to allow people to act in liberty and freedom.

I've been a Republican since age 13, when we got our first television set, and I saw the Republican National Convention on television. And President Eisenhower was talking about personal responsibility, about opening the door for opportunity and that people could really take care of themselves without a lot of government intrusions.

We talked about many issues, like welfare, is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government, how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch, we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said, 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.'

Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.

Every president to hold office has espoused some version of Americanism - the truths that we hold self-evident, even when those truths are not always in evidence. But for all their grand rhetoric and mostly good deeds, none was able to seal the deal on the trifecta of equality, plurality and socioeconomic ascendancy. Obama has.

Roosevelt talked not only about Freedom from Fear, but also Freedom from Want.
