Foreign aid breeds kleptocracies, or governments of thieves.

There is no safe political refuge for those afraid to take responsibility for their own lives.

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

As long as enough people can be frightened, then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.

Politicians nowadays treat Americans like medical orderlies treat Alzheimer's patients, telling them anything that will keep them subdued. It doesn't matter what untruths the people are fed because they will not long remember. But in politics, forgotten falsehoods almost guarantee new treachery.

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

It is unfortunate that Americans are no longer aware of what the constitution says and what their rights are. Because of that, we are often very passive about what happens when the government violates those rights.
