"When Democracy Becomes Tyranny

"When Democracy Becomes Tyranny
I STILL get to vote."

 

I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe.

I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. — H.L. Mencken

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi’s theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. — Mike Vanderboegh.

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it. —
