I am a Libertarian. I want to be known as a Libertarian and a Constitutionalist in the tradition of the early James Madison - father of the Constitution. Labels change and perhaps in the old tradition I would be considered one of the original Whigs. The new title I would wear today is that of Conservative, though in its original connotation the term Liberal fits me better than the original meaning of the word Conservative.

Ezra Taft Benson

We now live in a world both in film and television where everything is based on something.

But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice.

Haniel Long

Dylan McDermott

There is a wide difference between the original thinker and the merely learned man.

Arthur Schopenhauer
