A whole government, even a democratically elected one, may be tyrannical.~ Joseph Sobran These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.~ King Solomon A half truth is the worst of all lies, because it can be defended in partiality.~ Solon I would like to call upon America to be more careful with its trust ... and prevent those ... because of short-sightedness and still others out of self-interest, from falsely using the struggle for peace and for social justice to lead you down a false road. Because they are trying to weaken you; they are trying to disarm your strong and magnificent country in the face of this fearful threat. ... I call upon you: ordinary working men of America ... do not let yourselves become weak.~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.~ Thomas Sowell A man’s liberties are none the less aggressed upon because those who coerce him do so in the belief that he will be benefited.~ Herbert Spencer One death is a tragedy, but a million deaths are a statistic.~ Josef Stalin The agency that is so strict on the way Americans keep their books cannot even pass a financial audit.~ Ted Stevens The cruelest lies are often told in silence.~ Robert Louis Stevenson If gun control bore any relation to homicide rates, Washington, DC would be the safest place in the country.~ Mark Steyn The major function of secrecy in Washington is to keep the U.S. people ... from knowing what the nation’s leaders are doing.~ John Stockwell The great foe of democracy now and in the near future is plutocracy. Every year that passes brings out this antagonism more distinctly. It is to be the social war of the twentieth century. In that war militarism, expansion and imperialism will all favor plutocracy. In the first place, war and expansion will favor jobbery, both in the dependencies and at home. In the second place, they will take away the attention of the people from what the plutocrats are doing. In the third place, they will cause large expenditures of the people’s money, the return for which will not go into the treasury, but into the hands of a few schemers. In the fourth place, they will call for a large public debt and taxes, and these things especially tend to make men unequal, because any social burdens bear more heavily on the weak than on the strong, and so make the weak weaker and the strong stronger. Therefore expansion and imperialism are a grand onslaught on democracy.~ William Graham Sumner Everywhere you go on the continent of Europe at this hour you see the conflict between militarism and industrialism. You see the expansion of industrial power pushed forward by the energy, hope, and thrift of men, and you see the development arrested, diverted, crippled, and defeated by measures which are dictated by military considerations.~ William Graham Sumner It is a maxim among lawyers that whatever hath been done before may be done again, and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.
