“The antenna is going to be put on the hill where the conservation tower used to be. These improvements won't only help us with communications, but they will also help all the other fire departments in the area as well. The county really came through for us.”

I'm a conservative, pro-life governor in a state where it is really tough to be both. A state like New Jersey, with lots of Democrats, but still we cut taxes, we balanced budgets. We fought the teacher's union.

Helping people understand the impact of key environmental and human issues worldwide is something that I'm passionate about. CNN's 'Going Green' series of specials are engaging viewers around the world through important messages of conservation and hope.

The right-wing Tories and the conservative Whigs fought Napoleon as the Usurper and the Enemy of the Established Order; the liberal Tories and the radical Whigs fought him as the Betrayer of the Revolution and the Enslaver of Europe; they were all agreed in fighting him, and his notion that their disagreement signified national disunion was mere wishful thinking. All dictators since his time have fallen into the same trap: themselves blind to the values of liberty, they cannot conceive that people who disagree on its meaning can nevertheless unite in upholding their freedoms against patent despotism.

“There are those on the coasts that might snicker in their sleeves, but the town represents what many conservative people in the Midwest see as America, the America they want, the America they hold in their heads from yesterday. Maybe it is part mythical -- but it's the America they want to cling to.”

“He's banged up. We're taking a much more conservative approach with him this season. He's two weeks into his therapy sessions. Hopefully, he'll be ready to throw two or three innings against East Aurora (Saturday).”

“We think this (the joke release) is typical of Beers' campaign, which is geared toward misleading the public. Bob Beers claims to be a holier-than-thou fiscal conservative, but as a legislator, he created the government spending he's complaining about.”

“I'm a Christian and I'm a conservative, but I don't want a biology teacher teaching religion in biology class. Do I think there's a place for it? Absolutely, but not in a science classroom. I'm very uncomfortable about where this could lead.”
