We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" or to subject them to military tribunal. 4.

We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.~ Oath Keepers He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.~ Thomas Paine When I contemplate the natural dignity of man; when I feel ... for the honor and happiness of its character, I become irritated at the attempt to govern mankind by force and fraud, as if they were all knaves and fools, and can scarcely avoid disgust at those who are thus imposed upon.~ Thomas Paine It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.~ General George S. Patton, Jr. We have a lot of goodness in this country. And we should promote it, but never through the barrel of a gun. We should do it by setting good standards, motivating people and have them want to emulate us. But you can't enforce our goodness, like the neocons preach, with an armed force. It doesn't work.~ Dr. Ron Paul A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good may come of it.~ William Penn Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.~ St. Peter Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories.~ Wendell Phillips What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.~ Plutarch [There can be no] rational administration of government when good men are held in the same esteem as bad ones.~ Polybius A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.~ Alexander Pope Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.~ General Colin Powell So our record of living our values and letting our values be an inspiration to others I think is clear. And I don't think I have anything to be ashamed of or apologize for with respect to what America has done for the world. We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we've done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home ... to live our own lives in peace.~ General Colin Powell Under God we are determined that, wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever, we shall be called upon to make our exit, we will die freemen.~ Josiah Quincy, Jr. A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family; and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.~ Sir Walter Raleigh My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.~ Ayn Rand When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor—your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money.~ Ayn Rand There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction.~ Ayn Rand Anyone who confuses liberty lovers with nazis or other fascists is waaaayy too stupid (or evil) to deserve respect.~ Bert Rand There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.~ Ronald Reagan Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
