The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government Thomas Jefferson

We can't have, like, willy-nilly proliferation of fake news. That's crazy. You can't have more types of fake news than real news. That's allowing public deception to go unchecked. That's crazy. Elon Musk    The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character. Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity. Dwight D. Eisenhower    We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent. The ballot is stronger than the bullet. Abraham Lincoln      Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest. Calvin Coolidge    Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom. The right to free speech is more important than the content of the speech. Voltaire        God's law is 'right reason.' When perfectly understood it is called 'wisdom.' When applied by government in regulating human relations it is called 'justice. Justice extorts no reward, no kind of price; she is sought, therefore, for her own sake. The foundation of justice is good faith. Marcus Tullius Cicero        When plunder becomes a way of life, men create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it The real cost of the State is the prosperity we do not see, the jobs that don’t exist, the technologies to which we do not have access, the businesses that do not come into existence, and the bright future that is stolen from us. The State has looted us just as surely as a robber who enters our home at night and steals all that we love. Frederic Bastiat 
 
 Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason... Equally clear is the right to hear. To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker. Frederick Douglass       |
