In a common project, we can bring together well-meaning people from the Left and the Right.

Over fifteen years of studying the American Right professionally - especially in their communications with each other, in their own memos and media since the 1950s - I have yet to find a truly novel development, a real innovation, in far-right 'thought.'

It can be tough to find areas where Left and Right can agree. Consider the well-being of children: Americans often disagree about how to raise kids, how to educate them, even what to feed them.

Some of the ideas that come from the fringe of the far right are just so implausible that it is hard to take those ideas seriously.

All ideas grow out of other ideas.

The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

Creativity often consists of merely turning up what is already there. Did you know that right and left shoes were thought up only a little more than a century ago?

Leftist ideas are a part of the very atmosphere which American youth breathes.

There are no new ideas. There are only new ways of making them felt.

We started out as far to the left as we could.
