[Quote No.59478] Need Area: Friends > General
"[The social contract and limited government:] A constitution defines and limits the powers of the government it creates. It therefore follows, as a natural and also a logical result, that the governmental exercise of any power not authorized by the constitution is an assumed power, and therefore illegal." - Thomas Paine

[Quote No.59480] Need Area: Friends > General
"[The social contract and limited government:] Contrary to popular opinion, the Constitution was not - and is not - a grant of rights to the citizenry. Instead, the Constitution is a 'barbed-wire entanglement' designed to interfere with, restrict, and impede government officials in the exercise of political power." - Jacob G. Hornberger

[Quote No.59494] Need Area: Friends > General
"There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world, I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair, and disrespect." - Nikki Giovanni
(1943 - ), poet and professor.

[Quote No.59497] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Free market capitalism and private property rights tries to redress the resentment, injustice and reduced effort elicited when communal property - the basis of communism - is enforced:] The experience that was had in ... the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth ... was found to breed much confusion and discontent; and retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit.... For the young men that were most able and fit for labor and service objected that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children, without any recompense.... The strong man or the resourceful man had no more share of food, clothes, etc., than the weak man who was not able to do a quarter the other could; this was thought injustice. The aged and graver men, who were ranked and equalized in labor, food, clothes, etc., with the meaner and younger ones, thought it some indignity and disrespect to them." - William Bradford
(circa 1590 - 1657), American colonist, helped found the Plymouth Colony, signatory to the Mayflower Compact, served as Plymouth Colony Governor, 1623.

[Quote No.59502] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Conflict and war and the propaganda and censorship battle for 'hearts and minds' popular support:] These men - ..., the politicians, ... - use their position, their knowledge, and their power of disseminating misinformation to arouse and stimulate the latent instinct for bloodshed. When they have succeeded, they say they are reluctantly forced to war by the pressure of public opinion." - Bertrand Russell
(1872-1970) Philosopher, educator, author and famous pacifist. Source: 'War and Non-Resistance,' Atlantic Monthly, August 1915, p. 274.

[Quote No.59507] Need Area: Friends > General
"[What is acceptable government behaviour?] If something is wrong for you or me, it is also wrong for the cop, the soldier, the mayor, the governor, the general, the Fed chairman, the president. Theft does not become acceptable when they call it taxation, counterfeiting when they call it monetary policy, kidnapping when they call it the draft, mass murder when they call it foreign policy. We understand that it is never acceptable to wield violence nor the threat of violence against the innocent, whether by the mugger or the politician." - Lew Rockwell
(1944 - ), Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

[Quote No.59519] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, limited government:] Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain." - Frederic Bastiat
(1801-1850), Claude Frederic Bastiat, French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before -- and immediately following -- the French Revolution of February 1848. Source: 'The Law'.

The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well-thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same." - Ronald Reagan

[Quote No.59615] Need Area: Friends > General
"Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism... A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers." - Aldous Huxley

[Quote No.59784] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Libertarianism - free markets to determine nearly every thing but with some small, limited government and low taxes:] To the extent that a society limits its government to policing functions which curb the individuals who engage in aggressive and criminal actions, and conducts its economic affairs on the basis of free and willing exchange, to that extent domestic peace prevails. When a society departs from this norm, its governing class begins, in effect, to make war upon the rest of the nation. A situation is created in which everyone is victimized by everyone else under the fiction of each living at the expense of all." - Edmund A. Opitz
(1914-2006), the Rev. Edmund A. Opitz was a Congregationalist minister, a Foundation for Economic Education staff member, who for decades championed the cause of a free society and the need to anchor that society in a transcendent morality. He was one of the few voices in the 1950s through the 1990s calling for an integrated understanding between economic liberty and religious sensibility. He was the founder and coordinator of the Remnant, a fellowship of conservative and libertarian ministers.

"Fascism, communism and national socialism [the latter, also known as 'Nazi-ism', in fact all forms of government paternalism, statism] all share in common the explicit premise that the individual must subordinate [his life and power, freedom and ability to choose for themselves what best suits them and their circumstances] himself to society's needs, or as Hitler would phrase it: 'Society's needs come before the individual needs.' [This eventually devolves to only what is best for the government, the political elite and their crony associates!] " - A. E. Samaan

[Quote No.59898] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Individual liberty and personal responsibility so long as there is no physical or financial harm to others:] Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime - that is, the design to injure the person or property of another - is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practices a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices [which may or may not hurt the individual] and crimes [which hurt others] be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property, and the corresponding coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property." - Lysander Spooner
(1808-1887) Political theorist, activist, abolitionist.

[Quote No.59985] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Individual, unalienable birth-rights that can't be negated even by a democratic majority:] The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system — i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a 'pure democracy,' the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority." - www.diffen.com

"[Law and order:] Once in New York, I listened to a talk about the building of private prisons - a huge growth industry in America. The prison industry needs to plan its future growth - how many cells are they going to need? How many prisoners are there going to be, fifteen years from now? And they found they could predict it very easily, using a pretty simple algorithm, based about asking what percentage of ten- and eleven-year-olds couldn't read. And certainly couldn't read for pleasure." - Neil Gaiman
