The more that voting is glorified as a panacea, the more lackadaisical people become about preserving their constitutional rights.

The more government dependents, the more likely that democracy will become a conspiracy against self-reliance.

Dependency is the highest political good - at least for politicians. Since the 1930s, politicians have striven to leave no vote unbought.

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

The only things government can do are regulate and redistribute, prohibit and penalize, confiscate and command. Are these the things that liberty is made of? Somebody else's money and an endless list of Thou Shalt Nots?

We are asking the wrong question. The issue is not who should be trusted with all the power of the Presidency. Instead, we must ask how much power any candidate can be trusted with.

Freedom to vote is valuable primarily as a means to safeguard other freedoms.
