More From Stephen Harper

When you dig down, people are pretty progressive, by and large. i guess, i've said it many times - that a lot of people say we're a conservative country, that people are conservative. and my response to that is, yes, that's true, and you know what the people want to conserve most? the progressive traditions of our country - freedom of speech, and of the press and of assembly. freedom to dissent. the freedom to practice your own religion or not practice religion as you see fit. yes, we're conservative! we want to conserve those.
Country People Freedom Of Speech
To be a true progressive it is not sufficient to stand up and say that one belives in what has been promulgated as progressive principles. one must be progressive in heart and active in promoting the progressive principles of today, tomorrow and always. there is no resting point, for humanity is ever ascending to a higher and better goal.
Heart Goal Humanity
A moderately honest man with a moderately faithful wife, moderate drinkers both, in a moderately healthy house: that is the true middle class unit.

If you go to the right conservative places you'll find there's a huge argument about this among conservatives, particularly the conservative elites and the conservative intellectuals. there's always an argument among our people over who's the smartest person in the room and they're always trying to outsmart each other with the fanciest smartest most obscure argument. the fact is these arguments are taking place within the conservative movement i think quite a lot.

In my estimation, there should always be a mixture of economic liberalism - which means small government, a great emphasis on markets - but also a certain degree of social conservatism, not to favor change unless that change is beneficial. so i describe myself as an economic liberal and a social conservative.

My advice is to listen and accept the will of the american people, the republican voters. the republican party is the republican voters, and republican voters oppose these trade agreements more than democrat voters do.

There is no fringe in the democrat party. they are all extreme, radical leftists, socialists, neocoms, whatever you want to call 'em.
Party Fringe Radical
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. and that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. history has stopped. nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.
Party Book Politics
The nation blest above all nations is she in whom the civic genius of the people does the saving day by day, by acts without external picturesqueness; by speaking, writing, voting reasonably; by smiting corruption swiftly; by good temper between parties; by the people knowing true men when they see them, and preferring them as leaders to rabid partisans and empty quacks.
