Monetary Control

I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.
Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild (London Financier)

Security

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men experience it as a whole. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller

History Lesson

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Safety

A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are for.  Be good ships.  Sail out to sea and do new things.
Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (1984)

Fiat v Gold

To all the pundits that believe a gold standard is impractical, I suggest they look at the present fiat system and then judge it against the hundred years of monetary stability we enjoyed in years past under the gold standard. Then talk to me about which system is practical and which system is not.

Racism and Collectivism

Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist.
Rather than looking to government to correct our sins, we should understand that racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty.
Ron Paul (Government and Racism, April 16th, 2007)
