If so many Americans are looking for the government to save them, then it is hard to have a dignified search for a shepherd in chief.

Foreign aid breeds kleptocracies, or governments of thieves.

The first step in saving our liberty is to realize how much we have already lost, how we lost it, and how we will continue to lose it unless fundamental political changes occur.

Liberty is a political firewall that limits the damage government can do to the individual.

Politicians as a class are dangerous, that people who are seeking power over us are not, by definition, our friends.

To blindly trust government is to automatically vest it with excessive power. To distrust government is simply to trust humanity - to trust in the ability of average people to peacefully, productively coexist without some official policing their every move. The State is merely another human institution - less creative than Microsoft, less reliable than Federal Express, less responsible than the average farmer husbanding his land, and less prudent than the average citizen spending his own paycheck.

The more expansive government is, the more perils people face in daily lives, be it from IRS agents or from child support services, or from other agencies that often have little or no legal restraints on their power.
