From Helio Beltrao
The History of Ethics has been a History of Exploitation. From Time
Immemorial, Individuals Were Set Apart Into Two Groups: Those That
MUST Obey The Rules, and Those That Need Not. The People Must
Observe Ethics And Morals, While The Rulers Do Not.

From William Somerset Maugham
If A Nation Values Anything More Than Freedom, It Will Lose Its
Freedom; And The Irony Of It Is That If It Is Comfort Or Money
That It Values More, It Will Lose That Too.

From William Pfaff
Large and Firmly Implanted Bureaucratic Organizations are Almost
Impossible to Kill, even when they have No reason to continue to exist,
as NATO has not since the Soviet Union, Communism, and the Warsaw
Pact All Collapsed. There is no equivalent to Driving a Stake into the
Heart of a Bureaucracy, whose Impulse to Live is Inextinguishable.
Hence the Persisting Efforts to Force the Beast onto a New Course
Where Some Good Can Come From Its Uncheckable Energy.

From Doug Bandow
The Constitution Envisions A Limited Government Focused On Defending
Americans, Not On Transforming The Rest Of The World.

More Wisdom From Thomas Paine
If there is a Sin superior to every other it is that of Willful and
Offensive war. Most other Sins are circumscribed within narrow limits,
that is, the power of one man cannot give them a very general extension,
and many kind of Sins have only a mental existence from which no
infection arises; but He Who Is The Author Of A War, Lets Loose The
Whole Contagion Of Hell, And Opens A Vein That Bleeds A Nation To Death.

More From Justine Raimondo
Every government lives in fear of its own citizens. The fear waxes and
wanes, as the tides of public opinion and economic ups and downs crest
and wash over the political landscape. In good times, the fear is
somewhat subtle: discontent, albeit ever-present, is masked by
prosperity and contained; in bad times, the fear overflows into the
everyday life of the citizenry, which is viewed with the utmost
suspicion by the ruling elite. In Washington, they are wondering:
How Long Will They Put Up With It?

From Roger Ringer
A Man Has The Right To Dispose Of His Life And His Property In Any
Way He Chooses, Without Interference From Anyone Else. A Man Has No
Right To Dispose Of Any Other Mans Life Or Proeprty, No Matter What
His Personal Rationalizations May Be.

Still More From Frederick Douglas
Where Justice Is Denied, Where Poverty Is Enforced, Where Ignorance
Prevails, And Where Any One Class Is Made To Feel That Society Is In
An Organized Conspiracy To Oppress, Rob, And Degrade Them, Neither
Persons Nor Property Will Be Safe.

Everything The State Says Is A Lie, And Everything It Has It Has Stolen.

From Robert A. Heinlen - A Stranger In A Strange Land
Government! Three Fourths Parasitic And The Other Fourth Stupid Fumbling
- Oh, He Conceded That Man, A Social Animal, Could Not Avoid Having
Government, Any More Than An Individual Man Could Escape His Lifelong
Bondage To His Bowels. But Harshaw Did Not Have To Like It. Simply
Because An Evil Was Inescapable Was No Reason To Term It A - GOOD -
He Wished That Government Would Wander Off And Get Lost!

From Paul Graig Roberts
Today Americans Are Ruled By Propaganda. Americans Have Little Regard
For Truth, Little Access To It, And Little Ability To Recognize It.

From Edward Bannett Williams
Civil Liberties Are A Great Heritage For Americans. They Are Not
Rights That The Government Gives To The People, They Are The Rights
That The People Carved Out For Themselves When They Created The
Government.

From John Start Mill
The Only Purpose For Which Power Can Be Rightfully Exercised Over Any
Member Of A Civilized Community, Against His Will, Is To Prevent Harm
To Others. His Own Good, Either Physical Or Moral, Is Not A
Sufficient Warrant.

More Wisdom From Ludwig von Mises
There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about
by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should
come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit
expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency
system involved.
