The Conscience of a Conservative

The Conscience of a Conservative

With an Introduction by Patrick J. Buchanan and a New Foreword by Darcy Olsen of the Goldwater Institute.

Here is the path-breaking book that rocketed a political philosophy into the forefront of the nation's consciousness, written in words whose vigor and relevance have not tarnished with age:

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not pass laws, but to repeal them. it is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ''needed'' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' ''interests,'' I shall replay that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am dong the very best I can.
