I didn't want to engage in a campaign where I was defending myself on those issues at every turn, so I just decided that I'd switch and run as a Republican.

I still want to hold on to my beliefs, and as long as I have that, I won't stray too far from politics.

I have been a Republican since 1966.

As a Christian, there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.

Do not bury our glorious orthodoxy in the treacherous pit of a spurious conservatism.

The problem with liberal Protestantism in America is not that it has not been orthodox enough, but that it has lost a lot of religious substance.

My political beliefs are my moral, quasi-religious framework.

In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.

But I came from a conservative Republican background.

I am very much a Republican.
