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.
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.
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.
Congress seems to want to cure every ill known to man except unconstitutional government and high taxes.
Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible.
The new laws passed by Congress in the name of fighting terrorism pose a greater danger to the civil liberties of American citizens than to the operations of terrorists. Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some years ago an excellent professor of economics told his class in his gravelly voice, 'If you pay me $50,000 a year to solve a problem, I damned sure ain't going to solve it.'
Experience to a politician is like experience to a prostitute - not much to recommend them.
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.
The politicians in this world... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.
Thats what abortion is - killing innocent humans for money. Abortionists are government licensed hit men.
Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.
Disregarding the value of religion and believing in egalitarianism are two misconceptions that cause America much trouble today.
[N]o American should retreat an inch on the right of jurors to acquit if they perceive the law or its administration to be unjust.
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.
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.
When power is for sale, then government power should be severely limited. When power is abused, then the less power the better.
