More From Clarence B. Carson

A "United States" was only possible if men could agree to disagree about a great many things. What was expedient for them is, however, an essential of liberty. Theoretically, it might be desirable for all men to agree on everything, though I doubt it. Practically, such agreement would only be possible if all individual wills were crushed and subjected to a single will. The effort to do this is always in the direction of the well traveled road to despotism. The alternatives are agreement to disagree or despotism.

From Will Durant

Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime.

From Clarence B. Carson

Government regulation restricts, confines, diverts, focuses, makes inflexible, and alters the course of mens actions in hundreds of ways.

From Albert Jay Nock

The human race has an indefeasible love for what is graceful, amiable and becoming, and is somehow aware that those qualities can flourish only under freedom.

From Frederick Douglass

I expect that vast segments of the United States population will soon be losing any and all thoughts of " being a free people " as every aspect of unrestrained governmental tyranny is about to greet them full flush in the 2017 face!!

From John Lennon

You gotta remember, establishment, it is just a name for evil. The monster does not care whether it kills all the students or whether there is a revolution. It is not thinking logically, it is out of control. The trouble with government as it is, is that it does not represent the people, It Controls Them.

More From George Orwell

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.

More From Leonard E. Read

When integrity is the rule, fallacies and errors are brought honestly into the open, where they can be seen and discarded.

More From John W. Whitehead

How do you conquer a nation?
Distract them with football games, political circuses and Black Friday sales. Keep them focused on their differences-economic, religious, environmental, political, racial-so they can never agree on anything. And then, when they are so divided that they are incapable of joining forces against a common threat, start picking them off one by one.

More From Ron Paul!!

The centralization and politicization of education is rooted in the idea that education is a right that must be provided by the government, instead of a good that individuals should obtain in the market. Separating school from state would empower parents to find an education system that meets the needs of their children instead of using the political process to force their idea of a good education on all children.

More From Ludwig von Mises

Liberty is meaningless if it is only the liberty to agree with those in power.

From Sir William Francis Butler

The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards.
