The question isn't whether you have a good master or a bad master, it's to be your own master. That is the dignity of humanity.

The flag that was the symbol of slavery on the high seas for a long time was not the Confederate battle flag, it was sadly the Stars and Stripes.

It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.

We have created an educational system, funded throughout the country by taxpayer dollars, that systematically turns our children away from the truth that makes them free.

When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.

Our first responsibility is not to ourselves. Our first responsibility is to our country and to our God.

Our leaders will serve the common good with better laws and better actions only when we serve it first, by casting better votes.
