I believe in the pursuit of truth and virtue and that understanding the former may very well depend upon attainment of the latter.

I believe freedom isn't free and personal autonomy goes hand and hand with personal responsibility.

I believe popular sovereignty is superior to autocracy and that authoritarian models are by definition illegitimate.

I believe in market economies over and above command economies.

I believe more than Islamo-fascism, Leftism is the greatest threat to the U.S. as it rots from within. (Postestas Democraticorum Delenda Est!)

I believe in freedom of conscience.

I believe life has purpose.
