I was amazed at how easy it was for the Clinton Administration to basically cover what they did at Waco in the fog of lies and avoid any responsibility for it.

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?

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.

As soon as people drop the reins on government, government will leash the people.

It is one of the great tragedies of the US, that most learn most of what they know about the government from the government.

Once freedom is equated with a certain material standard of living, confiscation becomes the path to liberation.

Foreign aid breeds kleptocracies, or governments of thieves.
