Thoughts
From Daniel Webster
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.

From Eric Hoffer
The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion - it is an evil government.

From Vladimir Putin
I sometimes get the feeling that somewhere across that huge puddle, in America, people sit in a lab and conduct experiments, as if with rats, without actually understanding the consequences of what they are doing.

It never ceases to amaze me how otherwise intelligent, rational human beings, become complete Imbeciles at the sight or mention of a skin color that they do not like!! Many white Libertarians shun any association or discussion with any people of color; yet they always assume that they know what is best for these very same people that they so clearly despise.

From Winwood Reade
Rome lived upon its principal till ruin stared it in the face. Industry is the only true source of wealth, and there was no industry in Rome. By day the Ostia road was crowded with carts and muleteers, carrying to the great city the silks and spices of the East, the marble of Asia Minor, the timber of the Atlas, the grain of Africa and Egypt; and the carts brought out nothing but loads of dung. That was their return cargo.

From Rak Razam
The history of Western culture in the last two thousand years could be
seen as the " Empire of the Mind conquering the exterior world and
extinguishing the interior one, with the result that we have atrophied
our spiritual connection."

From Mother Teresa
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

And More From Benjamin Franklin
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God had given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.– This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties.

Wisdom From Paul Craig Roberts
The assumption that man is a rational animal is incorrect. He and she are emotional creatures, not Dr. Spock of Star Trek. Humans are brainwashed by enculturation and indoctrination. Patriots respond with hostility toward criticisms of their governments, their countries, their hopes and their delusions. Their emotions throttle facts, should any reach them. Aspirations and delusions prevail over truth. Most people want to be told what they want to hear. Consequently, they are always gullible and their illusions and self-delusions make them easy victims of propaganda. This is true of all levels of societies and of the leaders themselves.

From Tom Anderson
Switching from one President to the next is too often like leaving a spoiled diaper on a baby and just changing the safety pin!!

From William Ernest Hocking
The Liberty of going wrong is the seamy side of the priceless privilege of going right by free choice rather than by compulsion.

From Fred Reed
If you want something resembling an accurate picture of the Government and its Misbehavior, you can piece it together from the Guardian, Rolling Stone, Drudge, the Unz Review, and Antiwar.com. If you want actual Government, it is Hopeless. But Washingtons antics are at least interesting. You know, like watching the fingers fall off of a leprosy patient.

It is time we viewed the State for what it really is: a mechanism by which Rulers Enrich Themselves at the Expense of the Ruled. Everything else is a Smokescreen!!

From U.S. Senator Rand Paul
"Our government is simply too big and too out-of-control. When it comes to receiving fair justice, perhaps Black Americans understand this best."

From James Bovard
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
