“America is the greatest country ever. We had the greatest [U.S. Constitution] document, we’ve had the most amount of freedom and the most amount of prosperity. We have a lot of goodness, but you can’t spread goodness with force. So, we cancel out all our goodness when we go around telling people that they either do it our way or we’ll bomb you; if you do it our way, we’ll give you money. That is not what made America great. America is great because we have a great institution and great traditions. We believe in freedom… but we’ve lost our way.”

- Congressman Ron Paul
