I would love to see the day when my reggae will finally free america and africa, but the way america is heading I have to seriously doubt that will happen anytime soon. racism, bigotry and hate has devoured america to great depths, but I must keep on trying. RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by RAS CARDO REGGAE 5 years ago
my reggae teaches the history of our people. it speaks about slavery then and now. how many americans know about the-1811 slave revolt? slavery built america. when I speak of reparation for slaves as black people this is something that should never be denied. why are the current politicians having a problem with reparation? why is there no slave monument in america? my reggae asks the questions!! RAS CARDO REGGAE	added by RAS CARDO REGGAE 5 years ago
What, actually, is the difference between communism and fascism? Both are forms of statism, authoritarianism. The only difference between Stalin’s communism and Mussolini’s fascism is an insignificant detail in organizational structure. Leonard E. Read	added by Normando 5 years ago
Anything other than free enterprise always means a society of compulsion and lower living standards, and any form of socialism strictly enforced means dictatorship and the total state. That this statement is still widely disputed only illustrates the degree to which malignant fantasy can capture the imagination of intellectuals. Lew Rockwell	added by Normando 5 years ago
Communism, avowedly secularistic and materialistic, has no place for God. This I could never accept,... I strongly disagreed with Communism’s ethical relativism… there are no fixed, immutable principles; consequently, almost anything—force, violence, murder, lying—is a justifiable means to the ‘millennial’ end. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.	added by Normando 5 years ago
Bring back your smile, take control of your life and conquer new horizons. Aurora Berill	added by auroraberill 5 years ago

Those who survive a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible. I bet you do, too, Buddy. Larry Foulke	added by GALM 1 5 years ago
Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded. Senator William Jenner	added by Normando 5 years ago
To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle. George Orwell	added by Normando 5 years ago
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. Theodore Roosevelt	added by Normando 5 years ago
Force is the antithesis of freedom, but force must be used, if only to defend against other force. Thomas Sowell	added by Normando 5 years ago
The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society. Thomas Jefferson	added by Normando 5 years ago
The practical objection to Puritanism, as to every form of fanaticism, is that it singles out certain evils as so much worse than others that they must be suppressed at all costs. The fanatic fails to recognise that the suppression of a real evil, if carried out too drastically, produces other evils which are even greater. Bertrand Russell	added by Normando 5 years ago
Psychologically, it is important to understand that the simple fact of being interviewed and investigated has a coercive influence. As soon as a man is under cross-examination, he may become paralyzed by the procedure and find himself confessing to deeds he never did. In a country where the urge to investigate spreads, suspicion and insecurity grow. Joost A. Merloo	added by Normando 5 years ago
It takes a very long time to learn that a courtroom is the last place in the world for learning the truth. Alice Koller	added by Normando 5 years ago
The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in ... the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow), working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing it’s noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one. ...when all government... in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated. Thomas Jefferson	added by Normando 5 years ago
Limits exist only in the souls of those who don't dream. William Wister Haines	added by Suguna2413 5 years ago
Seeing that others succeeding is not bad for you, there is no need to pull them down. Instead try to reach them. ANONYMOUS UNNAMED	added by Unnamed 5 years ago
The vices of the rich and great are mistaken for error; and those of the poor and lowly, for crimes. Lady Marguerite Blessington	added by Normando 5 years ago
The basic problem is simply that the Congress has become professionalized. It has interest much higher than ever existed before in remaining in office. It has a bureaucracy that is serving it. It is much more subject to the power of individualized pressure groups as opposed to the unorganized feelings of the majority of the citizens. Justice Antonin Scalia	added by Normando 5 years ago
The prime function of the criminal law is to protect our persons and our property; these purposes are now engulfed in a mass of other distracting, inefficiently performed, legislative duties. When the criminal law invades the spheres of private morality and social welfare, it exceeds its proper limits at the cost of neglecting its primary tasks. This unwarranted extension is expensive, ineffective, and criminogenic. Norval Morris	added by Normando 5 years ago
But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Frederic Bastiat	added by Normando 5 years ago
The first duty of government is to protect the citizen from assault. Unless it does this, all the civil rights and civil liberties in the world aren't worth a dime. Richard A. Viguerie	added by Normando 5 years ago
