Americans oppose Obamacare because they understand that it is inconsistent with our liberties and our idea of limited government and that it will destroy the best health care system in the world.

National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.

The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to 'create' rights. Rather they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.

Government is by its very nature a destroyer of liberties the Obama administration specifically is promising to interfere with the economy and the health care system so profoundly that Washington will soon have us all in chains.

Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve.

How can you be conservative and justify wiretapping people without a warrant? We're supposed to be the party of personal freedom and civil liberties.

The arc of American history almost inevitably moves toward freedom. Whether it's Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation the expansion of women's rights or now gay rights I think there is an almost-inevitable march toward greater civil liberties.

I think we recognize as Americans there are certain things that are just primary to the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy here and religious freedom is one of the most important things we as Americans cherish.

In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties.

Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.
