It's Political Daddyism And It's As Old

Mark My Word, If And When These Preachers Get Control Of The [republican] Party, And They're Sure Trying To Do So, It's Going To Be A Terrible Damn Problem. Frankly, These People Frighten Me. Politics And Governing Demand Compromise. But These Christians Believe They Are Acting In The Name Of God, So They Can't And Won't Compromise. I Know, I've Tried To Deal With Them.

I Am A Conservative Republican, But I Believe In Democracy And The Separation Of Church And State. The Conservative Movement Is Founded On The Simple Tenet That People Have The Right To Live Life As They Please As Long As They Don't Hurt Anyone Else In The Process.

I Think The President Ought To Bring Everybody That's In American Uniform Back Because We're Headed For War.

[g]overnment Can, Instead Of Extending Freedom, Restrict Freedom. And Note ... That The 'can' Quickly Becomes 'will' The Moment The Holders Of Government Power Are Left To Their Own Devices. This Is Because Of The Corrupting Influence Of Power, The Natural Tendency Of Men Who Possess Some Power To Take Unto Themselves More Power. The Tendency Leads Eventually To The Acquisition Of All Power - Whether In The Hands Of One Or Many Makes Little Difference To The Freedom Of Those Left On The Outside.

Equality, Rightly Understood As Our Founding Fathers Understood It, Leads To Liberty And To The Emancipation Of Creative Differences; Wrongly Understood, As It Has Been So Tragically In Our Time, It Leads First To Conformity And Then To Despotism.
