I believe in trying to get a balance between individual freedom on the one hand and social responsibility on the other.

The Democratic Party believes that health insurance is a social responsibility of the nation. I believe that health insurance is an individual responsibility. And that's a really hard philosophy to mesh.

Ever since college, I have been a libertarian - socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility.

I believe in social dislocation and creative trouble.

I believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion go hand-in-hand in America.

I believe in full freedom for Christians of all denominations.
