Tom L. Johnson
Image
It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
James Madison
Image
These days, however, the main problem comes from the right - from conservatives who, unlike most economists, really do think that the free market is always right - to such an extent that they refuse to believe even the most overwhelming scientific evidence if it seems to suggest a justification for government action.
Paul Krugman

The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill

What is freedom? Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice. Without the possibility of choice a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing. —Archibald MacLeish
Sheena Iyengar

T. S. Eliot
Image
There has been little or no mention of the vast body of law which contradicts your position. I think you owe it to the people whom you address to explain its existence.
Frankie Sue Del Papa
Image
The point of taxation isn't that the government knows better than you how to spend your money - it's that the government, by virtue of being the government, can spend money in ways that no private citizen or group no matter how powerful, can.
Jesse Taylor
Image
The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good, in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.
John Stuart Mill
Image
I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials.
George Mason
Image
A politician who commends himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to do good with other peoples' money.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
If you don't risk anything you risk everything
Mark Zuckerberg
