Quotable
"A friend of mine says, 'Good intention plus negative results does
not equal positive results.' I think that pretty much sums up all
government programs. . . although I'm not totally sure about the 'good
intention' part."
"Libertarianism holds Liberty as a nation's highest value. And, in my
opinion, it makes sense. As Ben Franklin said, 'They that can give up
essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety will eventually have
neither.'"
"What I respect most about Libertarianism is that the philosophy and
practicality of its principes are in perfect alignment. For example, not
only is it wrong on a philosophical level to forcibly take money (via
taxation)
from one who has earned it by honest means and give it to someone else,
but, in practice, it doesn't work either. After all, has welfare actually
helped the poor? Has turning the healthcare system over to government
rules and
regulations improved healthcare? Would you say the Social Security system
we have now is in good shape?"
"The Libertarian Party defends the right of individuals to live in
whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere
with the same rights of others. If that's the case, then I think most
Americans are, by
nature, Libertarians. They've just been fed so much information throughout
the years that this is not a good philosophy that they've begun to believe
it. Thus, they willingly participate in a philosophy that has destroyed
every civilization that has tried it . . . the distribution of wealth by
means of government force."
"One of my favorite sayings is by one of my Libertarian heroes, Dr.
Mary Ruwart, which is, 'Liberty doesn't leave the poor to chance -- it
gives them one!'"
"Among my Libertarian mentors: Harry Browne, Michael Cloud, Dr. Mary
Ruwart, Sharon Harris, Marshal Fritz"
