It has long been apparent that many people in the media don't believe you're competent to make your own decisions.

A little government involvement is just as dangerous as a lot - because the first leads inevitably to the second.

Immigrants used to come to America seeking freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from government. Now they come looking for free health care, free education, and a free lunch.

The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it.

When you know that you're capable of dealing with whatever comes, you have the only security the world has to offer.

...The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have the right to be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of these freedoms under any circumstances.

The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.
