Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual) Ayn Rand

There is a phrase which has grown so common in the world’s mouth that it has come to seem to have sense and meaning — the sense and meaning implied when it is used — that is, the phrase which refers to this or that or the other nation as possibly being ‘capable of self-government’; and the implied sense of it is, that there has been a nation somewhere, sometime or other which wasn’t capable of it — wasn’t as able to govern itself as some self-appointed specialists were or would be to govern it.

At a time when our lordly Masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprecation of American freedom…[it is necessary to] maintain the liberty which we have derived from our ancestors. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing…is clearly my opinion. George Washington

Beastly bureaucracy is born out of good intentions married to poor solutions. Only when politiciansrealize what constituents already know will the true problem even be addressed much less solved. More government always translates into less freedom. R. Lee Wrights
