Evil can only be fought.

and great things in that which is small."

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)

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

"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."
dr_lew (freeper)

"In order to resolve such an ethical dilemma(abortion), the guiding principle is this: one is morally permitted to take such a life once you can demonstrate with moral certainty that the life is not human. It is a concept that can be exemplified by the situation faced by a hunter when he sees a bush shaking. He may sincerely believe that it is a deer in the bush, but if he kills it prior to determining with certainty what it is that he is killing, he will be morally responsible (as well as legally) if he has in fact killed the farmer’s cow, or worse yet, the farmer.

As we can see, two deeply held, but opposing viewpoints need not be resolved unless someone intends to act upon them. Then, the one who intends to take the action resulting in the death of the disputed entity must not do so unless they can first show with moral certainty that their perception of its moral worth is irrefutable. Those who would not disturb the normal progression of its life bear no such burden. It’s my contention that such proof does not exist, and deliberate fetal destruction for scientific purposes should not proceed until it does."
Dr G. Kevin Donovan

"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."
Theodore Roosevelt

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die."
Gilbert Keith Chesterton

"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."
Ronald Regan

"If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Ronald Reagan, on the liberal philosophy of government.

" Indignation over hypocrisy is an adolescent emotion. It supposes no one should honor a higher ideal in words unless one follows it in every deed; it holds out hypocrisy as a sin greater than the actual transgression."
James Lileks

"In disquisitions of every kind there are certain primary truths, or first principles,
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."
Plato

"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)

"The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be."

"It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance."
Thomas Sowell

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
Abraham Lincoln

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance.
The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
C. S. Lewis

"The forces of safety are afoot in the land. I, for one, believe it is a conspiracy - a conspiracy of Safety Nazis shouting "Sieg Health" and seeking to trammel freedom, liberty, and large noisy parties. The Safety Nazis advocate gun control, vigorous exercise, and health foods. The result can only be a disarmed, exhausted, and half-starved population ready to acquiesce to dictatorship of some kind"
P.J. O'Rourke

"Truth does not hide.
You can go everywhere there is to go without crossing your front door.
You can see all there is to see without peering through your window.
The faster you travel, the less you see."

C. S. Lewis

"There is no hell. There is only France."
Frank Zappa

"In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together, and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."
Mark Twain

"Pride is concerned with who is right. Humility is concerned with what is right."
Ezra Taft Benson

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.
Aim at earth and you get neither."
C. S. Lewis

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there will be a shortage of sand"
Milton Freidman(economist)

"It’s disturbingly classist and elitist for gay men to think they can love their children unreservedly after treating their surrogate mother like an incubator, or for lesbians to think they can love their children unconditionally after treating their sperm-donor father like a tube of toothpaste"
Robert Oscar Lopez

"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...."
