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.

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

Throughout history, politicians have used other people's property to buy themselves power. That is the primary achievement of the welfare state.

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.

Americans' liberty is perishing beneath the constant growth of government power. Federal, state and local government's are confiscating citizens' property, trampling their rights, and decimating their opportunities more than ever before.... American liberty can still be rescued from the encroachments of government. The first step to saving our liberty is to realize how much we have already lost, how we lost it, and how we will continue to lose unless fundamental political changes occur.

There is no virtue in denying the law of gravity, and there should be no virtue in denying the limitations of government. ... The more we glorify government, the more liberties we will lose.

For the average person walking down a dark street late at night, a promise from a politician is worth far less than a .38 Special.
