Quotes

The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

Barack Obama, Dec 2007, before he was elected President

---

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

John Adams

---

I personally believe it's every citizen's civil duty to pay attention to what their government does, to question their government and hold these people's feet to the fire. If you don't do that, you will get bad government.

Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura

---

It was the right thing to do. We seek justice in every case.

U.S. Attorney Florence Nakakuni about dismissal of human trafficking case against Mike & Alec Sou

---

Congress can impose liabilities on you, your children, and grandchildren without your consent, and even without your knowledge. This is another example of government holding itself above the law.

Ron Paul, candidate for U.S. President, 2012

---

A country whose population has been trained to accept the government’s word and to shun those who question it is a country without liberty in its future.

Paul Craig Roberts, political commentator, economist & Asst. Treasury Secretary under Reagan

---

In America today, and increasingly throughout the Western world, actual facts and true explanations have been relegated to the realm of kookiness. Only people who believe lies are socially approved and accepted as patriotic citizens.

Paul Craig Roberts, political commentator, economist & Asst. Treasury Secretary under Reagan

---

The way Amerikan justice (sic) works is that prosecutors in about 96% of the cases get a plea bargain. US prosecutors . . . put sufficient pressure on innocent defendants to coerce them into making a guilty plea in exchange for lesser charges and a lighter sentence. . . . Amerikan criminal justice (sic) is organized to produce conviction regardless of innocence or guilt.

Paul Craig Roberts, political commentator, economist & Asst. Treasury Secretary under Reagan

---

If our economy of freedom fails to distribute wealth as ably as it has created it, the road to dictatorship will be open to any man who can persuasively promise security to all; and a martial government, under whatever charming phrases, will engulf the democratic world.

Will & Ariel Durant, The Lessons of History, pp. 79-80.

---

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.

Will Durant, historian, on why Rome fell

---

I know you won’t believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others

Socrates, who was sentenced to death by drinking hemlock by an Athenian court

---

I am the governor. I'm not your pal.

Hawaii governor Neil Abercrombie, in a soundbite that has reverberated around the state.

---

Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.

'Killing Unarmed bin Laden Was Murder'

Submitted by HPI on Fri, 05/06/2011 - 18:56

Elliot Spitzer, disgraced former Democratic governor of New York and present co-host of CNN's In the Arena, does a great job here in his interview of two Middle East specialists concerning the reported killing of Osama bin Laden this past Sunday. The two are Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times Middle East bureau chief, and Stephen Carter, Yale Law School professor and author of a piece in the upcoming Newsweek magazine issue (not on sale yet).

Was the unarmed bin Laden murdered? Hedges thinks so, but Carter takes exception to the word, citing the "Laws of War." So what are you going to believe? The dictionary or the government? The latter brings uncomfortably to mind 1984's doublethink. On the other hand, Carter does call the killing an "assassination."
