Evil is not something that can be condescended to … for it is not merely an uninvited guest. …
Evil can only be fought.

James 4:17, The Bible

"Children are seen too often not as themselves, as individuals,
but in terms of how they affect their parents:
as obstacle to career or wealth, as prized possession,
as fashion accessory, as guarantors of personal genetic immortality,
or as guards against alienation and loneliness.
"
Julia Black (Producer)

" The fight for freedom is God's fight. Freedom is an eternal law of God.
Men cannot break it with impunity, but can only break themselves upon it.
When a man stands for freedom, he stands for God.
As long as he stands for freedom, he stands with God.
And were he to stand alone, he would still stand with God.
Any man will be eternally vindicated and rewarded for his stand for freedom."

Ezra Taft Benson (patriot, statesman)

"All restraints upon mens natural liberty, not necessary for the simple maintenance of justice,
are of the nature of slavery, and differ from each other only in degree.

Lysander Spooner (author)

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our grandchildren what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope,

"If a lot of dogs are on the beach, the first thing they do is smell each other's asses.
The information that's gotten somehow makes pacifists out of all of them.
I've thought, 'If only we smelled each other's asses, there wouldn't be any war.'
"
Dustin Hoffman (actor/sage, Clinton supporter)

"There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions...."
John Kerry (Senator, confessed war criminal)

"It is not evil that requires explanation, but good.
It’s quite remarkable that we are so acclimated to the goodness of the human heart,
that we are obliged to attribute extraordinary cause to explain its absence on occasion.
"

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."

"It is only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world."

"If you analyze it, I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism."
President Ronald Reagan

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

"You can’t be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy."

upon which all subsequent reasoning must depend.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
Cliff Clavin (sage)

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value"
