Liberty Quotes - Daily Email History

"When you elevate victimhood as virtue, you will create a culture in which people are tripping over themselves to be oppressed."

~ Allie Beth Stuckey  

"The whole point of the liberal revolution that gave rise to the 1960’s was to free us from somebody else’s dogma, but now the same people…are striving to impose on others a secularized religion…disguising it behind innocuous labels like ‘diversity training’ and ‘respect for difference.’"

~ Richard Bernstein  

"One of the ironies, as some have observed, is that the secular project has itself become a religion, pursued with religious fervor. It is taking on all the trappings of a religion – including inquisitions and excommunication. Those who defy the creed risk a figurative burning at the stake – social, educational, and professional ostracism and exclusion waged through lawsuits and savage social media campaigns."

~ William Barr  

"We are Socialists, we are enemies of the capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions."

~ Adolf Hitler (False)  

"[Some people] have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom. I believe that it is easier to establish an absolute and despotic government amongst a people in which the conditions of society are equal, than amongst any other; and I think that, if such a government were once established amongst such a people, it would not only oppress men, but would eventually strip each of them of several of the highest qualities of humanity. Despotism, therefore, appears to me peculiarly to be dreaded in democratic times."

~ Alexis de Tocqueville  

"What is a left-wing socialist but a Marxist without a gun?"

~ Don Feder  

"The task of weaning various people and groups
from the national nipple will not be easy.
The sound of whines, bawls, screams and invective will
fill the air as the agony of withdrawal pangs finds voice."

~ Linda Bowles  

"The salient feature of America in the Age of Obama is a failed government class institutionally committed to living beyond its means, and a citizenry too many of whom are content to string along."

~ Mark Steyn  

"Spending by government currently amounts to about 45 percent of national income. By that test, government owns 45 percent of the means of production that produce the national income. The U.S. is now 45 percent socialist."

~ Milton Friedman  

"The inherent vice of capitalism is
the uneven division of blessings,
while the inherent virtue of socialism is
the equal division of misery."

~ Sir Winston Churchill  

"One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain."

~ Thomas Sowell  

"We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us."

~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin  

"Let's see socialism for what it is. Not in the abstract, but in reality. Socialism is:

The taking of money (taxes) from some people who work for it and giving it to others who don't work for it. On a grand scale.
The vast expansion of freebies doled out by central government. In order to create and sustain dependence.
The government protection of favored persons and corporations, permitting them and aiding them to expand their fortunes without limit, regardless of what crimes they commit in the process. (Monsanto would be a fine example.)
The squeezing out of those who would compete with the favored persons and corporations.
The dictatorship by and for the very wealthy, pretending to be the servant of the masses.
The lie that the dictatorship is being run by the masses.
The gradual lowering of the standard of living for the overwhelming number of people.
The propaganda claiming socialism is the path to a better world for all.

In other words, socialism is a protection racket and a long con and a heartless system of elite control, posing as the greatest good.
It is just another form of top-down tyranny---as old as the hills."

~ Jon Rappoport
