At the core of Libertarian philosophy, self-ownership is a beautiful yet complex and scary idea that has fallen to the wayside in today’s culture of entitlements, victimhood, and blame. We must hold ourselves accountable. —Kalish Morrow
There are, to be sure, free spirits in the world, but their freedom, in the last analysis, is not much greater than that of a canary in a cage. They may leap from perch to perch; they may bathe and guzzle at their will; they may flap their wings and sing. But they are still in the cage… Democracy provides swarms of such men. —H.L. Mencken
We’re all united by the suffering that is part of the human condition. We’re divided by how we choose to deal with it. —Angela McArdle
You are being lied to by the government. Thanks to declassified documents you can confirm for yourself how much the government lies—from the Tuskegee Airmen Experiment to MKULTRA, to what’s being pushed on TV today. —The Pholosopher
If we care about our remaining liberties we must at some point draw a line in the sand and let politicians and bureaucrats know we will not tolerate further encroachment on our liberty. —Walter Williams
All attempts to coerce the living will of human beings into the service of something they do not want must fail. —Ludwig von Mises
I think that as you get older you just trust the government less at running anything. —Vince Vaughn
I think we’re raising whole generations who regard facts as more or less optional. We have kids in elementary school who are being urged to take stands on political issues, to write letters to congressmen and presidents about nuclear energy. They’re not a decade old, and they’re being thrown these kinds of questions that can absorb the lifetime of a very brilliant and learned man. And they’re being taught that it’s important to have views, and they’re not being taught that it’s important to know what you’re talking about. It’s important to hear the opposite viewpoint, and more important to learn how to distinguish why viewpoint A and viewpoint B are different, and which one has the most evidence or logic behind it. They disregard that. They hear something, they hear some rhetoric, and they run with it. —Thomas Sowell
Government has a habit of blaming the private sector for its own failings while taking credit for advances we in fact owe to the private sector. —Tom Woods
