government evil
That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.
choices drink enough
I'm not a social friend of the Reagans. That's by their choice and by mine. They don't drink enough.
might vote reason
A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote.
country freedom liberty
One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.
freedom thinking government
As I watch government at all levels daily eat away at our freedom, I keep thinking how prosperity and government largesse have combined to make most of us fat and lazy and indifferent to, or actually in favor of, the limits being placed on that freedom.
lying night thinking
I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.
should trade foreign-trade
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
hands people bills
The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96.
believe mean government
To me, conservative means believing in a minimum amount of government and a maximum amount of freedom - and keeping government out of people's lives and business - and leaving people alone,
irs one-word ifs
If you make one word out of 'The IRS' it spells 'theirs.'
believe government two
I believe you can divide the people in to two basic groups, those who believe government is a necessary good and those who believe it is a necessary evil, those who want government to take care of them, those who want government to leave them alone.
sex party two-nations
As long as there are two nations, two parties, two sexes or even two people there are going to be divisions. And all the talk in the world isn't going to change that. Thank goodness!
children believe thinking
One other thing I think a conservative believes is that the parents, not government, are and should be responsible for the upbringing and behavior of their children.
jesus holiday merry-christmas
In case anyone would like to know, we have now entered the Christmas season. Christmas as in Jesus Christ. This is not the "happy holidays" season. ...Don't "Happy Holidays" me because I will "Merry Christmas" you in return.
