"the conservative is alarmed by the ascent of a soft tyranny and its cheery acceptance by the neo-statist. he knows that liberty once lost is rarely recovered. he knows of the decline and eventual failure of past republics. and he knows that the best prescription for addressing society's real and perceived ailments is not to further empower an already enormous federal government beyond its constitutional limits, but to return to the founding principles. a free people living in a civil society, working in self-interested cooperation, and a government operating within the limits of its authority promote more prosperity, opportunity, and happiness for more people than ANY alternative. conservatism is the antidote to tyranny because its principles are the founding principles."
