  • Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.

  • And just think, fellow Southrons, what kind of a Confederate nation we could have, if after independence, politicians abandoned equivocation and spoke honestly and firmly on all issues? If they were to do their duty to God, nation, and people, there would be virtually no need for any form of federal litigation.

  • Make sure the government treats others the same as you would want the government to treat you. ...Once you consent to the government ignoring the Constitution, you deny yourself the protection of the Constitution.

  • Our Founding Fathers were proud that Americans were trusted with arms because they knew that only when people are armed could they truly be thought of as free citizens. And that's where the circle closes. Those who want to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms are intending to deprive you of your freedom, period. Like the criminals their policies encourage, these elitists know that it is always best to disarm victims before you enslave them.

  • When power is for sale, then government power should be severely limited. When power is abused, then the less power the better.

  • Capitalism is like math. It is amoral. It is good at producing wealth; it's bad at distributing wealth. Unless it operates within a moral framework it will produce an unjust society.

    "Is Economics All There Is?" by Charley Reese, July 18, 2003.
  • Credibility, like virginity, can only be lost once and never recovered.

  • The politicians in this world... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.

    Peace   War   Thinking  
  • It is a foolish man who believes that the status quo can be maintained indefinitely.

  • Americans who value freedom had better be more concerned about the gun control crowd than the criminals. The criminals want your money. The Neo-Totalitarians want your freedom.

    Gun   Criminals   Crowds  
  • Here's your enemy for this week, the government says. And some gullible Americans click their heels and salute - often without knowing who or even where the enemy of the week is.

  • Some lawyers and judges may have forgotten it, but the purpose of the court system is to produce justice, not slavish obedience to the law.

    Law   Justice   Judging  
  • Thats what abortion is - killing innocent humans for money. Abortionists are government licensed hit men.

    Men   Abortion   Killing  
  • Experience to a politician is like experience to a prostitute - not much to recommend them.

  • A nation dies culturally and spiritually first. Its money and its army are the last to go, but go they do once the light goes out in the nation's soul.

    Army   Light   Soul  
  • I expect to see trade wars, foreign policy disasters, a few race riots, a decrease in personal liberty, higher taxes, higher inflation and probably, economic collapse. The silver lining is, secession will probably become more feasible.

    War   Race   Liberty  
  • It is worth noting that the people today who so vehemently wish to sweep religion from all public spaces and institutions are also the same people who consistently oppose freedom. They want only one God &emdash; the state, which of course they intend to run.

    Running   Space   People  
  • We...are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant.

    Peace   War   Government  
  • If we could manage our own finances the way the Congress does the nation's, we'd all be living in high cotton and eating high on the hog.

    Government   Doe   Cotton  
  • Don't live beyond your means. Don't buy more than you can pay for. Don't expect to get rich quick. And don't confuse salesmen for friends or advisers.

    Mean   Pay   Rich  
  • Crime is a human behavior problem, not a mechanical problem. Furthermore, if firearms were not very useful for self-defense, then police wouldn't carry them. In a free country, if the government can go armed, so should the citizens, if they so choose.

  • A government that intended to protect the liberty of the people would not disarm them. A government planning the opposite most certainly and logically would disarm them. And so it has been in this century. Check out the history of Germany, the Soviet Union, Cuba, China and Cambodia.

  • Americans, both politicians and voters, may have become corrupted by big government beyond redemption. A virtuous government requires a virtuous people. A frugal government requires a self-reliant people. A free country requires people who value liberty more than money.

  • If you believe in the right to life, then you must believe in the right to have the means to defend that life.

    Believe   Mean   Gun  
  • The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests.

    Peace   War   Truth Is  
  • People who believe in gun control are ignorant, superstitious or stupid.

    Stupid   Believe   Gun  
  • Reason and truth have rarely prevailed against demagoguery when the audience is too ignorant to tell the difference.

  • Gun-control has always been an elitist method of controlling the common.

    Gun   Common   Method  
  • Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible.

  • Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
