"For the Statist, liberty is not a blessing but the enemy. It is not possible to achieve utopia if individuals are free to go their own way. The individual must be dehumanized and his nature delegitimized. Through persuasion, deception, and coercion, the individual must be subordinated to the state. He must abandon his own ambitions for the ambitions of the state. He must become reliant on and fearful of the state. His first duty must be to the state - not family, community and faith, all of which have the potential of threatening the state. Once dispirited, the individual can be molded by the state."

~~Mark Levin, from Liberty and Tyranny

 

 "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

~~George Orwell

 

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.

~~Ronald Reagan

 

“Most people can’t think, most of the remainder won’t think, the small fraction who do think mostly can’t do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion- in the long run, these are the only people who count.”

~~Robert Heinlein

 

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

~~Thomas Jefferson

 

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
~~ Thomas Jefferson

 

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague".”

~~Marcus Tullius Cicero

 

"The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws"

~~Ayn Rand

 

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities"

~~Ayn Rand

 

"There is but one means available to improve the material conditions of mankind: to accelerate the growth of capital accumulated as against the growth in population. The greater the amount of capital invested per head of the worker, the more and better goods can be produced and consumed. This is what capitalism, the much abused profit system, has brought about and brings about daily anew. Yet, most present-day governments and political parties are eager to destroy this system"

~~Ludwig von Mises

 

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday"

~~John Wayne

 

"Here is why Hitler and now Obama are considered intelligent in a nefarious way: their recognition of what motivates man and woman to embrace evil and forsake the noble, how to consolidate power, and how to use that power to suppress the opposition.

What comes through loud and clear in Nazi Germany is that once a nation sheds the ethics and morality of the Christian religion and ultimately God the forces of degeneration, despair, and tyranny step in to fill the vacuum.

Remember nature abhors and cannot abide a vacuum"
