I don't know what leadership is. You can't touch it. You can't feel it. It's not tangible. But I do know this: you recognize it when you see it.

Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.

It's always an uphill battle. You know, I'm a Republican in Maryland. This is the bluest of the blue.

If President Obama has his way, you won't recognize the government, the free market system, or, frankly, America as you once knew it. His admonitions and his audacious policy goals demonstrate very clear motives: equalize, discourage dissent, and become a nation of apologists.

I don't think I'm tangible to myself.

You recognize a survivor when you see one. You recognize a fighter when you see one.
