I suppose I have scared 'THE socialist' Mr. Sillik away.  Or maybe he couldn't muster an argument against the recent string of quotes on the failures of socialism.  Oh well...

Mr. Sillik, this is a private site, maintained and paid for by yours truly.  You have no 'freedom' to be published here or The New York Times.  This is an online publication, I am the Editor/Publisher.  You have no 'right' to post here and I don't need to 'take it.'  One of the problems with avowed socialists is that they expect someone else to foot the bill for their privileges.  I don't recall ever seeing a donation from you, Mr. Sillik.  The free ride is over.  Don't push it. I've been fairly tolerant for quite some time now, but keep being ungrateful and disrespectful, and I will block you permanently.

OK, guys let's give it a rest.  This site is not "Saving Private Sillik."  Mr. Sillik, I'm going to start deleting all your posts if you keep this up.  Stop spamming this site!  Go start a substack page if you want to spread the gospel according to Sillik. If you are not willing to rate the quotes and post comments about Liberty, then please go somewhere else.  I delete spam postings, and I will start doing the same for off-topic comments.  I wanted the site to host intelligent commentary, and I don't like where this has been going.  It's a turn-off to new visitors.

Hey, Mike, check out chapter 7 of my new book, Freedom in the American Republic, entitled 'The Occupying Statist Theocracy'. 

Thank you for your innumerable contributions to this site for over 20 years!

Mike, You can reply to one of the daily quote emails or send to liberty.quotes@libertytree.ca.

The quote is attributed to Dr. Chisolm during one of his speeches; however, a reference to this exact quote was made by a speech made by Mrs. Jean Carter during a Lions Club meeting on July 10, 1975.  She shares several excerpts from proponents of progressive  education including John Dewey and Brock Chisolm.  As a result, it appears that her quote was misattributed to Dr. Chisolm.

There is an interesting discussion about the veracity of this quote here:

Thank you, Mike!!  And thank you all!
We are not alone. 
We've been keeping the vigil.
And it's mattered!

What a whirlwind these last 30 years.  The news was fake then, and only a handful were aware of the false narrative of de facto rule.  The republic has been on the ropes for decades — and there has never been a more hopeful time of awakening since the founding of these united States of America — and the world — than now.

The truth has made us free.  Now it's time for everyone else...  That's the work, there is none other.  I continue to pray for Fred and hold onto hope for him and others who sincerely believe they are pursuing what is right. 

We keep the torch lit for them.  Cheers.

No mistake.  You have been posting your nonsense for several years now.  Kind of getting old actually. 

I will take this time to remind you once again of spamming this site with taglines after every post of variations of "Socialism is the challenge to create..."  Such posts will be edited or deleted.  If you continue to do so, we will suspend your account.

Thank you.

Mr. Sillik, I ask that you abstain from including the signature at the end of each of your posts "Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create."  You are spamming this blog with hundreds of posts.  We got it.  Future signature lines with that will be removed.  Thank you for your understanding.

To follow up 14 years later, yes, Google has essentially blocked search results to this site.  Traffic from Google is down 95%, Yahoo/AOL/Verizon blocks the dally quotes emails, most email originating from this site gets put into Spam folders.  Liberty is a dirty word online, unless it means 'anything goes.'

Maybe stay on topic, rate the quotes, and make cogent and relevant comments.  Make an argument, respect others' comments, and stop spamming the blog with the same posts about socialism and you.  Perhaps stop initiating aggression towards the other users.  Stop re-posting the same comment with spelling and grammatical corrections.  I am the Editor and will edit what does not contribute to the value of this site.  Consider it a courtesy that you have not been 'edited' altogether. 

Sorry, Mike, I have removed all of this 'diatribe' — not a dialogue.  Sillik, apology not accepted.

Fredrick, feel free to engage with others, even resulting in multiple posts, like your previous dialogues with Mike.  Just keep a balance and please don't dominate the comment feed.  Cheers.

Fredrick, please keep your enthusiasm in check.  One reply per quote is sufficient unless in a dialogue — not a monologue.  Repeating the same comment everywhere dilutes anything intelligent you might be saying buried in your posts.  Thank you.

The Federalist Papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym "Publius" to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution.  

The scholarly detective work of Douglass Adair in 1944 postulated the following assignments of authorship, corroborated in 1964 by a computer analysis of the text:

Alexander Hamilton (51 articles: Nos. 1, 6–9, 11–13, 15–17, 21–36, 59–61, and 65–85)
James Madison (29 articles: Nos. 10, 14, 18–20,[15] 37–58 and 62–63)
John Jay (5 articles: Nos. 2–5 and 64).

Thanks, Etaoin.  The quote is in reference to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1780.  The source and link have been updated with more complete information.  

The quote is unsourced but popularly attributed to Paine in hundreds, if not thousands of publications.

A similar quote can be found in The Rights of Man, Part 2, chapter 2 (emphasis added):

The trade of courts is beginning to be understood, and the affectation of mystery, with all the artificial sorcery by which they imposed upon mankind, is on the decline. It has received its death-wound; and though it may linger, it will expire. Government ought to be as much open to improvement as anything which appertains to man, instead of which it has been monopolised from age to age, by the most ignorant and vicious of the human race. Need we any other proof of their wretched management, than the excess of debts and taxes with which every nation groans, and the quarrels into which they have precipitated the world?

Thank you, Greg.  The typo has been fixed.

This quote has been misattributed to Ben Franklin.  It is actually from Gideon J. Tucker, Final Accounting in the Estate of A.B., 1 Tucker 248 (N.Y. Surr. 1866), in a decision of a will case:
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.”

Well done, Mike! I just formatted your post for readability.  

The source has been updated.  Tocqueville prefaces by saying:

"I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world.

The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives."

Actually, the quote is from Calvin Coolidge in a speech commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Thank you, AB Hall!  Cheers.

Hmm, you are right.  We'll find the source.  Thanks.

Thank you, Jonathon, you are right!  The quote is actually from The Virginian, April 1956, which had been quoted in The American Mercury.  The source has been updated.  Cheers!
