People believe their " truths " and nothing else; which is why our politicians and our criminals will never run out of American fools to prey upon!!

From Frank S. Meyer
...freedom can exist at no lesser price than the danger of damnation; and if freedom is indeed the essence of mans being, that which distinguishes him from the beasts, he must be free to choose his worst as well as his best end. Unless he can choose his worst, he cannot choose his best.

Even the most adamant education reformers often stop short of advocating for abolishing compulsory schooling statutes, arguing that it would not make much difference. But stripping the state of its power to define, control, and monitor something as beautifully broad as education would have a large and lasting impact on re-empowering families, encouraging educational entrepreneurs, and creating more choice and opportunity for all learners.

Your principle has placed these words above the entrance of the legislative chamber: "whosoever acquires any influence here can obtain his share of legal plunder." And what has been the result? All classes have flung themselves upon the doors of the chamber crying: "A share of the plunder for me, for me!"

As long as rulers are above the law, citizens have the same type of freedom that slaves had on days when their masters chose not to beat them.

From Friedrich A. Hayek
The more a person dislikes the strange and thinks his own ways superior, the more he regards it as his mission to civilize others.

From James Bovard
The real problem is that the United States Supreme Court is now often little more than a fig leaf to provide legitimacy for a Leviathan government that would have mortified the Founding Fathers. The Supreme Courts betrayal of its constitutional role has vastly increased the stakes for the current and any future Justice nomination.

From Robert Nozick
The illegitimate use of a state by economic interests for their own ends is based upon a preexisting illegitimate power of the state to enrich some persons at the expense of others. Eliminate that illegitimate power of giving differential economic benefits and you eliminate or drastically restrict the motive for wanting political influence.

From J. Ollie Edmunds
The time has come for us to reestablish the rights for which we stand -- to reassert our inalienable right to human dignity, self-respect, self-reliance -- to be again the kind of people who once made the United States of America great.

From Rob Faust
It is time to hold the United States Department of Defense to the same fiscal scrutiny that we do with the rest of the government, and maybe it is time to employ the all too logical concept of using the Department of Defense simply for defense. This would not only save money, but it would ultimately make the world a safer place.

If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature it is a United States of American patriot signing resolutions of independency with the one hand and with the other hand brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves.

From Richard Dreyfuss
"Unless we teach the ideas that make the United States of America a miracle of government, it will go away in your kids lifetimes, and we will be a fable.You have to find the time and creativity to teach it in schools, and if you do not, you will lose it. You will lose it to the darkness, and what this country represents is a tiny twinkle of light in a history of oppression and darkness and cruelty. If it lasts for more than our lifetime, for more than our kids lifetime, it is only because we put some effort into teaching what it is, the ideas of the United States of America: the idea of opportunity, mobility, freedom of thought, freedom of assembly."

No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free.

Our president is a racist, misogynistic, truly empathy-bankrupt man. It is time to show Washington, D.C., both my fellow Democrats, who I hope will stand with us and Republicans who may stand in our way ... change is coming and the future belongs to all of us!!!
