Curtis Bok Quote

“In the whole history of law and order, the biggest step was taken by primitive man when...the tribe sat in a circle and allowed only one man to speak at a time. An accused who is shouted down has no rights whatever.”

~ Curtis Bok

If the issue concerns inalienable rights, individual sovereignty, constitutional issues, natural law or liberty, the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land will try and shout you down

Patrick Henry, Red Hill

In this day of the cataclysmic declension of Virtue, there is in evidence, at best, a nominal tolerance for the Truth.

    People are programmed to shout one another down. We see it on every 'news' channel each day. Civility is ignored in this country even by those with the floor.

    It's what made the primitive man a civilized man.
