"It is vital that we not surrender this fortress of freedom, liberty and human dignity that our ancestors died creating." -- Pat Buchanan

"My vision is of a republic not an empire, a nation that does not 
go to war unless she is attacked, or her vital interests are 
imperiled, or her honor is impugned. And when she does goes 
to war, it is only after following a constitutional declaration by 
the Congress of the United States. We are not imperialists; we 
are not interventionists; we are not hegemonists; and we are 
not isolationists. We simply believe in America first, last, and 
always." -Patrick J. Buchanan

"A Republic, Not An Empire." -- Patrick J. Buchanan, Title of His Book 
and a point about the USoA.
