Notes and Quotes

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln

"Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism." - Continued...

"Power corrupts. The old boys were right when they said that when you get in, you apparently feel like you own the place and you can do no wrong and no-bodys going to catch you. You see that play out time and time again. It's in the DNA of a lot of politicians. They want to stay forever and believe they can do pretty much what they want to." - Fred Thompson U.S. Senator 1994-2003 - Video

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed - and hence clamorous to be led to safety - by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary." - H. L. Mencken

"How soon the labor of men would make a paradise of the whole earth, were it not for misgovernment, and a diversion of all his energies from their proper object -- the happiness of man -- to the selfish interest of kings, nobles, and priests." --Thomas Jefferson to Ellen W. Coolidge, 1825. ME 18:341

~the power of the existing mainstream society to determine its own destiny shall be drastically reduced while the power of other groups, formerly marginal or external to that society, will be increased. In other words the U.S. must, in the name of diversity, abandon its particularity while the very groups making that demand shall hold on to theirs.
