One thing about a police state, you can always find the police.
L. Neil Smith
What happened in America in the 1860s was a war of secession, a war of independence, no different in principle from what happened in America in the 1770s and 1780s.

Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn't allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.
L. Neil Smith
As Al Franken has demonstrated, liberals give lousy talk radio.
L. Neil Smith
Collective states are constitutionally incapable of reliably producing anything but corpses.

L. Neil Smith
We're most likely to lose our rights when we allow ourselves to be persuaded to deprive others of theirs.
L. Neil Smith
We are expected to believe that anyone who objects to the Department of Homeland Security or the USA Patriot Act is a terrorist, and that the only way to preserve our freedom is to hand it over to the government for safekeeping.
L. Neil Smith
Beloved friends and comrades... the national Libertarian Party is dead.
L. Neil Smith
Choose your enemies carefully: you'll probably be known much better and far longer for who they were, than for anything else you ever managed to accomplish.
L. Neil Smith
I'm tired of being lied to by government, by the media, and by every corporation I have anything to do with.
L. Neil Smith
Like the government, corporations must be bound with the chains of the Constitution, and especially of the Bill of Rights.
L. Neil Smith
The fact is that surveys which media people openly admit to show that fewer than twelve percent of their customers believe they're doing a good job, while the average profit margin in television is in the neighborhood of eighty percent.
L. Neil Smith
Politicians need human misery. ... Government's a disease masquerading as its own cure.
L. Neil Smith
Thanks to guys like Boss Tweed, famous for saying, 'I don't give a damn who does the voting, as long as I do the nominating,' there hasn't been an honest election in the USA since sometime around the War Between the States.
L. Neil Smith
Try never to speak of your enemies by name. Any publicity is still publicity - and there are those for whom your disapproval constitutes a recommendation.
L. Neil Smith
The only hope we have is the Internet. We must strive to keep it free.
