I personally don’t need some arrogant, left-leaning, holier-than-thou individual using the force of the government to dictate how I should act. If I see someone who I believe needs and deserves my help and I have the ability to provide that help, I will do so. It is all about a single word: freedom. Those such as the letter writer have no problem forcing their will upon other members of society. I, on the other hand, wish only to leave others to their own decisions and have them leave me to mine Bob Cogliano

[T]hese things [tolerance, diversity] can be accomplished without government-mandated racial preference, or any forced governmental meddling in the affairs of a private institution. The fact is that affirmative action is no different from the black codes, Jim Crow laws, and Fugitive Slaves Acts – all in the past. It differs only in who is given preference. Don’t ever forget that racial preference by laws was and still is racism. Richard Boddie

I made a speech by that title [A Time for Choosing] in 1964. I said, ‘WeOve been told increasingly that we must choose between left or right.’ But weOre still using those terms – left or right. And IOll repeat what I said then in O64. OThere is no left or right. ThereOs only an up or downO: up to the ultimate in individual freedom, consistent with an orderly society – or down to the totalitarianism of the ant heap. And those today who, however good their intentions, tell us that we should trade freedom for security are on that downward path. Ronald Reagan

There are many farm handouts; but let’s call them what they really are: a form of legalized theft. Essentially, a congressman tells his farm constituency, ‘Vote for me. I’ll use my office to take another American’s money and give it to you.’ Dr. Walter E. Williams
