"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these:
First, a right to life;
Secondly, to liberty;
Thirdly, to property; together with the right to
support and defend them in the best manner they can.
These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from,
the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

~Samuel Adams
The Rights of the Colonists, 1772

"I will not cede more power to the state.
I will not willingly cede more power to anyone, not to the state, not to General Motors, not to the CIO.
I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to drain it away from me.
I will then use my power, as I see fit.
I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not?
It is certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and liberals at bay. And the nation free.”

~William F. Buckley Jr.
Up from Liberalism (1959)
