"To those who scare peace loving people with phantoms of lost liberty,
my message is this: your tactics aid terrorists for they erode
our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to
America’s enemies and pause to America’s friends." |
"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." |
"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." |

"Today the Justice Department did issue a blanket alert.
It was in recognition of a general threat we received.
This is not the first time the Justice Department have acted like this.
I hope it is the last. But given the attitude of the evildoers,
it may not be." |
"The core issue facing the American people is this: Have the guardians become the terrorists?" |
"The civil liberties of people of all ideologies are threatened by a government determined to appear tough on terrorism. The government is going to be given broad new powers to investigate people for political activities -- activities on both sides of the political spectrum." |

"I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
What I can do, I should do.
And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." |
"The limits of tyrants are prescribed by
the endurance of those whom they oppress." |
"One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust ... is in reality expressing the highest respect for law ... We will not obey your evil laws." |

"Taking into account all levels of government, the net tax rate of those born in 1920 is 29% over their lifetimes, rising gradually to 34% for those born in 1980. For the generation born in 1994, it is 84%, and reduced only to 72% by the "extreme" Republican budget proposals. Is it fair for our future citizens to keep only 16% or 28% of their earned income?" |
"There are two distinct classes of men in the nation,
those who pay taxes, and those who receive and live upon the taxes." |

"The right of property is the guardian of every other right, and
to deprive the people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their liberty." |
"Compare this [U.S. taxation] to the plight of medieval serfs.
They only had to give the lord of the manor a third of their output
and they were considered slaves. So what does that make us." |
"Every day, IRS agents levy liens on homes, bank accounts, and businesses; they confiscate cars, furniture, boats, and other
personal property without the constitutional protections of due notice, hearing, and due process. If a person forcibly resists, government agents kill
him for “resisting arrest.” " |
