I think it is very important for any U.S. administration to be clear that America stands on the side of freedom and democracy and respect for individual rights.

I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights.

China has no choice but to emulate the power of America’s founding ideas and its journey through the universal values of democratic freedom and individual rights.

Democracy without respect for individual rights sucks. It's just ganging up against the weird kid, and I'm always the weird kid.

Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.

encouraged and pleased to see that the countries of Latin America stood up for human rights and democracy in their own region, especially with regard to Cuba.
