More From Ludwig von Mises
Firmly committed to the principles of interventionism, governments try to check the undesired result of their interference by reporting to those measures which are nowadays called full-employment policy: unemployment doles, arbitration of labor disputes, public works by means of lavish public spending, inflation, and credit expansion. All these remedies are worse than the evil they are designed to remove.

From U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter
It is not only under Nazi rule that police excesses are inimical to freedom. It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy. It is too easy. History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end.

From John Salter
A government which will turn its tanks upon its people, for any reason, is a government with a taste of blood and a thirst for power and must either be smartly rebuked, or blindly obeyed in deadly fear.

From Ms Margaret Kimberley
Russia does not extradite its citizens so the indicted Russian individuals will never appear in an American courtroom. Of course the last thing Mueller wants is to provide evidence in court. The real purpose of the investigation has succeeded. The goal is to make excuses for the Democratic Party elite, explain away their failures which led to Donald Trumps election, protect the real electoral colluders in United States intelligence agencies, and prevent any normalization of relations between the United States and Russia.

From Ted Galen Carpenter
The United States is a constitutional republic based on the principle of limited government. The lives, freedoms and financial resources of the American people are not rightfully available for whatever missions suit the whims of political leaders.

From Joseph Goebbels
Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.

From Cory Booker
"I am a big believer that if America, if this country has not broken your heart, then you do not love her enough,"! "Because theres things that are savagely wrong in this country. There is a normalcy of injustice that we have accepted."

From Winston Churchill
The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

From Hermann Hagedorn
The bomb that fell on Hiroshima fell on America too.
It fell on no city, no munition plants, no docks.
It erased no church, vaporized no public buildings,
reduced no man to his atomic elements.
But it fell, it fell.
It burst. It shook the land.
God have mercy on our children.
God have mercy on the United States of America.

From Stephen Lendman
Police Officers in the United States of America get away with cold-blooded murder. Black and Latino communities are battlegrounds. According to Operation Ghetto Storm, nearly one Minority man, woman, youth or child is extrajudicially killed by the police daily, a disturbing reality given short shrift by our media scoundrels.

From Corbin Trent, spokesperson for Ms Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
"We have seen throughout United States history as a nation that it does not take a whole lot of people. It just takes dedicated people to make significant changes, whether it is the foundation and formation of this country, or whether it is the ending of slavery or it is civil rights, things start with small groups and they grow into a much bigger movement!!

From Bryan Caplan
Government routinely and deliberately crushes free competition, most egregiously with immigration restrictions, housing regulation, and occupational licensing. If you really want to fight socially dysfunctional monopoly, do not urge government to tame monopoly. Instead, urge government to create less monopoly. We have a massive monopoly problem. But government is not a solution to our problem; government is the problem.

From John W. Whitehead
"We the people" are still being robbed blind by a government of thieves. We are still being taken advantage of by a government of scoundrels. We are still being locked up by a government of greedy jailers. We are still being spied on by a government of Peeping Toms. We are still being ravaged by a government of ruffians. And we are still being forced to surrender our freedoms-and those of our children-to a government of extortionists.

More From Friedrich A. Hayek
Freedom to order our own conduct in the sphere where material circumstances force a choice upon us, and responsibility for the arrangement of our own life according to our conscience, is the air in which alone moral sense grows and in which moral values are daily re-created in the free decision of the individual.
