~ William Hazlitt

“Here's what we're not taught about the Declaration and Constitution. Those words at the time they were written were blazingly, electrifyingly subversive. If you understand them truly now, they still are. You are not taught that these men and women were radicals for liberty; that they had a vision that was a slap in the face of what the rest of their world understood to be the unchanging, God-given order of nations; and that they were willing to die to make that desperate vision into a reality for people like us, whom they would never live to see. ”

~ Naomi Wolf

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

"Government is instituted for the common good; ..the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people, and not for profit, ..or private interest of any one class of men. Therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government, and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.

~ John Adams

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”

“Man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”

~ Ronald Reagan

“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery ~ hay for human cattle.”

~ Alexis de Tocquevill
