Some conservatives are surprised to find people on the Left supporting the war in Afghanistan. It's not surprising at all…It is hard for the government to prosecute a war and not expand…Conservatives may think they can support war and oppose the expansion of the state, but that is like trying to square the circle. What makes them think they can contain the expansion?

Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.

As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant of the people... The Bill of Rights does not grant rights to the people, such that its repeal would legitimately confer upon government the powers otherwise proscribed. The Bill of Rights is the list of the fundamental, inalienable rights, endowed in man by his Creator, that define what it means to be a free and independent people, the rights which must exist to ensure that government governs only with the consent of the people.

[Communist Goals for America:] - Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.” - Control schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. - Soften curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put party line in textbooks. Control student newspapers. - Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion (i.e. “social justice,” “liberation theology”). - Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.” - Discredit American culture. - Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and divorce. - Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.

At birth we are provided seeds to sow, but the amount and quality are not equal; the wealthy acquire high quality and limitless amounts, while the poor received the opposite; therefore, the impoverished cannot error while the affluent can dispose handfuls in the wind.

Money is not everything! Look around you, what do you find? Is it that all rich people are glad? No, many of them are sad. This proves that it is not money that makes people happy. Of course, money gives us pleasure. With money, we can buy a home but then, we can’t buy happiness. With money we can buy medicine but we can’t buy health. With money we can buy a bed, but we can’t buy sleep. So, money is important but it’s not everything. Unfortunately, people think that money, success, achievement equals happiness. However, this is a myth. This is not the truth. We must realize this when we look at rich people, and we must always count our blessings.

The cult is fueled by fear and hate and adheres to contrived theories to perpetuate its existence and creates a venomous environment; nonbelievers are rejected, scorned and attacked; truth has vanished.

Like I said, everyone wants to have a happy ending. Life leads us different paths and scenarios. We make mistakes that are often unforgivable. Someone once told me that everything could be fixed. I agree with this but I have one question. What if I'm not a mechanic?

The human tendency is to resemble or imitate those we admire; the common result is the delusion, that to emulate another’s personality creates a pseudo persona, measurably dissimilar from our own.

The expense of energy on what you cannot control, heightens stress, tension and diverts one’s efforts away from what can be controlled.

Log kehtey hain zindagi main yrh zaroori hai, woh zaroori hai. Main tumhen bataon? Zindagi main kuch zaroori nahi hota. Na maal, na aulaad, na rutba, na logon ki muhabbat. Bus aap honey chahiyen or aap ka ALLAH se har pal barhta talluq hona chahiye. -nimrah ahmed -jannat k pattey

Arms observe no bounds; nor can the wrath of the sword, once drawn, be easily checked or stayed; war delights in blood.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Standing armies consist of professional soldiers who owe their livelihood and income to the government. Unlike civilians who render periodic service in local militia, professional soldiers do not own property and therefore do not have any source of income other than the government’s military paymaster. Thus, they are more likely to serve the government’s interests, regardless of whether its leaders are dishonest and corrupt or not. In fact, standing armies may even promote rapacious foreign or domestic policies if such policies enrich the army. In contrast, arms bearing, property owning citizen militiamen have a stake in the health of the republic as a whole and can be trusted to act in the republic’s best interests, whether those interests call for action in support of or against the political leadership of the nation.

It’s an accepted principle that we adopt many characteristics of close friends and associates; these traits include interests, opinions, political affiliations, morals, and responses to various events and activities; one should constantly evaluate and be vigilant of those they interact with the most.

Unjust laws exist: shall we be content to obey them, or shall we endeavor to amend them, and obey them until we have succeeded, or shall we transgress them at once?
