John Stewart Mill's essays on Liberty, Representative government and Utilitarianism.
Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
These 2 philosophers are the only ones I have found to resonate with me.

by Anne Coulter
People are stupid enough to read books by her?
Come on, there are some great conservative thinkers out there. Why waste your time with rhetoric and bullshit? It just makes you easy mockery for liberals.

I haven't found any single school of ethics that I can agree with completely yet.

I agree 100%. Ann Coulter is trash. There are far better conservative authors.

If you all read any book, >>1 has the best suggestion I've heard so far, imo. 1984 is definitely a classic, and it is short enough and easy enough a read for most people who won't typically take the time to read serious political literature.

Ayn Rand wrote absolutely horrible fiction, you agreeing with objectivist literature makes you a person I subjectively deem a total douchebag

I'd stick my dick in Coulter's ass. That bimbo looks like she'd wiggle around on it for days.

Of course, I think there are certain ethical systems that are better than others, but better doesn't mean best.
nozick is libertarian/minimal-state, Rawls is socialdemocratic (to use a yruppeen word), he doesn't really say "GO LIBERALS GO!" but it's a philosophical take on why we should not have a libertarian state.
