I'm against ObamaCare, which is imposing radical change, and I would be against a conservative imposing radical change....

I call myself a radical conservative. What's that? Well, let's analyze it. Go to the dictionary. Radical: One who gets to the roots of things.

You've seen it in the news - the radical left in our country, stinging from their 2016 election losses, has become increasingly desperate and unhinged.

Esther Hicks

History is nothing more than the belief in the senses, the belief in falsehood.

Conservative values aren't really reflected in the radical values of the NRA.

He that commends me to mine own content Commends me to the thing I cannot get.

William Shakespeare

Is there an idea more radical in the history of the human race than turning your children over to total strangers whom you know nothing about, and having those strangers work on your child's mind, out of your sight, for a period of twelve years? Could there be a more radical idea than that? Back in Colonial days in America, if you proposed that kind of idea, they'd burn you at the stake, you mad person! It's a mad idea!
