When you disarm peaceful citizens, crime and violence explode. – Jarret Wollstein Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. – Tench Coxe Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. – L. Neil Smith Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness. – Justice William O. Douglas Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Debate, it seems to me, is one of the most useful of human inventions. It is the mother and father of all free inquiry and honest thought. It tests ideas, detects errors and promotes clear thinking. A man cannot stand up before it without exposing his whole intellectual stock of goods. – H. L. Mencken Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grand-children are once more slaves. – D. H. Lawrence Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth. – Ronald Reagan Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
We have stricken the shackles from 4,000,000 human beings and brought all labourers to a common level, but not so much by the elevation of former slaves as by reducing the whole working population, white and black, to a condition of serfdom. While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have manipulated a system of oppression which, though more refined, is no less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery. – Horace Greeley Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
If Americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. Public education is the enemy. The entertainment industry is the enemy. The corporate culture is the enemy. The advertising industry is the enemy. And most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. An enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of Americans. – Charley Reese Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
You want to know what fascism is like? It is like your New Deal! – Benito Mussolini Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Well-meaning Americans in the name of freedom have taken freedom away. For the sake of religious tolerance, they’ve forbidden religious practice. – Ronald Reagan Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
The Internet... has become the voice of the people in the first genuine experiment in democracy yet conducted in America. It stands ready to serve every facet, every faction. – Gerry Spence Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country. A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote. If children were forced to learn about the Constitution, about how government works, about how this nation came into being, about taxes and about how government forever threatens the cause of liberty perhaps we wouldn't see so many foolish ideas coming out of the mouths of silly old men. – Lyn Nofziger Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. – Justice Antonin Scalia Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Whenever justice is uncertain and police spying and terror are at work, human beings fall into isolation, which, of course, is the aim and purpose of the dictator state, since it is based on the greatest possible accumulation of depotentiated social units. – Carl Gustav Jung Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core. – Hannah Arendt Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom 'to' and freedom 'from'. – Marilyn vos Savant Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
It is not conclusive proof of a doctrine’s correctness that its adversaries use the police, the hangman, and violent mobs to fight it. But it is a proof of the fact that those taking recourse to violent oppression are in their subconscious convinced of the untenability of their own doctrines. – Ludwig Von Mises Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Zealotry of either kind - the puritan's need to regiment others or the victim's passion for blaming everyone except himself - tends to produce a depressing civic stupidity. Each trait has about it the immobility of addiction. Victims become addicted to being victims: they derive identity, innocence and a kind of devious power from sheer, defaulting helplessness. On the other side, the candlesnuffers of behavioral and political correctness enact their paradox, accomplishing intolerance in the name of tolerance, regimentation in the name of betterment. – Lance Morrow Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
Finally, the fundamental flaw, which will ultimately destroy this prohibition as it did the last one, is that criminal sanctions cannot, and should not attempt to, prohibit personal conduct which does no harm to others. – Judge Robert Sweet Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
The right to privacy is one of the most cherished rights an American citizen has; the right to privacy sets America apart from totalitarian states in which the interests of the state prevail over individual rights. A fundamental part of our concept of ordered liberty is the right to protect one’s home and family against dangerous intrusions subject to the criminal law. – John Louis Coffey Famous Quote	added 4 months ago
How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of great minds is agreeing in the opinion of small minds? – John Stewart Mill Famous Quote	added 5 months ago
Liberty lies in the rights of that person whose views you find most odious. – John Stewart Mill Famous Quote	added 5 months ago
In the long-run, the best proof of a good character is good actions. – John Stewart Mill Famous Quote	added 5 months ago
