war thinking issues
And just think, fellow Southrons, what kind of a Confederate nation we could have, if after independence, politicians abandoned equivocation and spoke honestly and firmly on all issues? If they were to do their duty to God, nation, and people, there would be virtually no need for any form of federal litigation.
corporations coincidence economic
It is naturally only a coincidence that all too often, American foreign-policy objectives dovetail nicely with the economic objectives of multinational corporations.
government cotton way
If we could manage our own finances the way the Congress does the nation's, we'd all be living in high cotton and eating high on the hog.
years class voice
Some years ago an excellent professor of economics told his class in his gravelly voice, 'If you pay me $50,000 a year to solve a problem, I damned sure ain't going to solve it.'
political politician
Experience to a politician is like experience to a prostitute - not much to recommend them.
government ideas attention
The poor Constitution itself is hardly paid any attention to. It's necessary to ignore it because most of what government does these days is clearly unconstitutional. The original idea, as expressed by James Madison, was that states would do 95 percent of the governing. Today, they are little more than administrative subdivisions of the central empire.
politics bureaucracy dies
Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.
country gun government
Crime is a human behavior problem, not a mechanical problem. Furthermore, if firearms were not very useful for self-defense, then police wouldn't carry them. In a free country, if the government can go armed, so should the citizens, if they so choose.
war government ignorant
We...are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant.
believe egalitarianism two
Disregarding the value of religion and believing in egalitarianism are two misconceptions that cause America much trouble today.
war thinking mass-destruction
The politicians in this world... have at their command weapons of mass destruction far more complex than their own thinking processes.
government should limited-government
When power is for sale, then government power should be severely limited. When power is abused, then the less power the better.
gun government opposites
A government that intended to protect the liberty of the people would not disarm them. A government planning the opposite most certainly and logically would disarm them. And so it has been in this century. Check out the history of Germany, the Soviet Union, Cuba, China and Cambodia.
