Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.

Davis fouls out to third in fair territory.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

I am insecure. Everyone's insecure.

It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.

I am prone to despair. We are all born with a particular personality. I get afraid and then I don't want to leave the house.
