It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."//%Author%Alexis de Tocqueville//%end% %start%%cat=Defense,Freedom,Law,Liberty,Patriotism,Responsibility//%quote%"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."//%Author%Edward Abbey//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"Man was born free, and everywhere he is in chains."//%Author%Jean-Jacques Rousseau//%end% %start%%cat=Fear,Freedom,Trust,Liberty,Morality,Responsibility//%quote%"Morality is always the product of terror; its chains and strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others, because they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty."//%Author%Aldous Huxley//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"Idealism is the noble toga that political gentlemen drape over their will to power."//%Author%Aldous Huxley//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"The direct use of physical force is so poor a solution to the problem of limited resources that it is commonly employed only by small children and great nations."//%Author%David Friedman//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"It would be thought a hard government that should tax its people one tenth part."//%Author%Benjamin Franklin//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law.

I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution ... or have failed their purpose ... or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible.

The president and Congress can proceed only from constitutional authority, not from good intentions alone. If Congress thinks it necessary to expand its powers, the Framers crafted an amendment process for that purpose. But too often, rather than follow that process, Congress has disregarded the limits set by the Constitution and gutted our frontline defense against overweening federal government."//%Author%Robert A.

Conservatives should make them spell out their principles and ideals. Instead of doing this, conservatives allow liberals to pursue incremental goals without revealing their ultimate destination. So, thanks to the negligence of their opponents, liberals control the terms of every debate by always demanding 'more' while never defining 'enough.'

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."//%Author%Lyn Nofziger//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"Government machinery has been described as a marvelous labor saving device which enables ten men to do the work of one."//%Author%John Maynard Keynes//%end% %start%%cat=Freedom,Law,Liberty,Responsibility//%quote%"No age is unique in producing privileged persons who can happily dichotomize condemnation of their society and enjoyment of its fruits.

When Americans finally awoke to the evil of Communism, liberals had harsher words for Joe McCarthy, who cost a few people their government jobs, than for Joe Stalin, who cost tens of millions of people their lives. ... If Communism was liberalism in a hurry, liberalism is Communism in slow motion. Where Communism smashed, liberalism erodes.
