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.

Freedom is whatever the president says it is, pending revision.

Entire generations of Americans have come of age since the ancient time when the president's power was constrained by a duty of candor to the American people.

Foreign aid breeds kleptocracies, or governments of thieves.

The government's appearing to be a necessary evil does not oblige people to trust it. We face a choice of trusting government or trusting freedom-trusting overlords who have lied and abused their power or trusting individuals to make the most of their own lives.

Once a person becomes a government dependent, his moral standing to resist the expansion of government power is fatally compromised.

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.
