Anybody who questions authority and questions our current government inevitably comes to the conclusion that we are governed by criminals and we have to fundamentally change the system. —Adam Kokesh

People pull through hard times. What I can’t understand is, how can anybody figure that the government can support us, when we support the government. —Rose Wilder Lane (The Discovery of Freedom: Man's Struggle Against Authority)

So long as any large group of persons, anywhere on this earth, believe the ancient superstition that some Authority is responsible for their welfare, they will set up some image of that Authority and try to obey it. And the result will be poverty and war. —Rose Wilder Lane (The Discovery Of Freedom: Man's Struggle Against Authority)

The most important change which extensive government control produces is a psychological change, an alteration in the character of the people.
This is necessarily a slow affair, a process which extends not over a few years but perhaps over one or two generations.
The important point is that the political ideals of a people and its attitude toward authority are as much the effect as the cause of the political institutions under which it lives.
This means, among other things, that EVEN a strong tradition of political liberty is no safeguard if the danger is precisely that new institutions and policies will gradually undermine and destroy that spirit.
