I dispute this quote, vigorously.Originally Posted by ClayTrainor
The history of military interventionism has almost always been to pave the way for some internationalist money making scheme.
It seems to me, and history indicates, that goods are forced across, (or resources absconded with) at the barrel of a soldier's gun, not the other way around.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

"A president provides leadership, but I don't know what that means. There was always a lot of talk about leadership in the Boy Scouts. So maybe the president is the first person in the nation to learn how to tie 25 different knots and the last person to admit he'd rather be necking with girls than building an Indian wigwam." -P.J.

"With the same indignation ought you, my fellow citizens, to reject the advice of those political quacks, who under pretence of healing the disorders of our present government, would urge you rashly to gulp down a constitution, which in its present form, unaltered and unamended, would be as certain death to your liberty, as arsenic could be to your bodies." -Luther Martin
"By the power to lay and collect imposts Congress may impose duties on any or every article of commerce imported into these states to what amount they please. By the power to lay excises, a power very odious in its nature, since it authorizes officers to examine into your private concerns, the Congress may impose duties on every article of use or consumption: On the food that we eat, on the liquors we drink, on the clothes that we wear, the glass which enlighten our houses, or the hearths necessary for our warmth and comfort. By the power to lay and collect taxes, they may proceed to direct taxation on every individual either by a capitation tax on their heads or an assessment on their property. By this part of the section, therefore, the government has a power to tax to what amount they choose and thus to sluice the people at every vein as long as they have a drop of blood left."-Luther Martin
"We now have so many regulations that everyone is guilty of some violation." -Luther Martin
My favorite Rothbard Quote...
"The great non sequitur committed by defenders of the State, including classical Aristotelian and Thomist philosophers, is to leap from the necessity of society to the necessity of the State." - Murray Rothbard

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. -Franklin Delano Roosevelt (RPFers would do well to memorize this one)
There is ...no human right, natural or Constitutional, that we have not seen nullified by the United States Government.
Of all the crimes that are committed for gain or revenge, there is not one that we have not seen it commit – murder, mayhem, arson, robbery, fraud, criminal collusion and connivance.

Vin Suprynowicz
Judge Napolitano at his best!
NAPOLITANO: I believe that all taxation is theft. Because you have the right to the product of your own labor. If the government can take the fruits of your labor against your will, it can take anything.
STOSSEL: So, we have a voluntary tax system? (Later) No Taxes?
NAPOLITANO: No Taxes!... Who says we have to have an Army and a Navy. And who says it has to be paid for by taxes?
"One of the great victories of the state, is that the word "Anarchy" terrifies people but, the word "State" does not" - Tom Woods
The political process…a mere battle of rival rogues. But the mob remains quite free to decide between them.
~ H.L. Mencken Notes On Democracy (1926)
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. - Albert EinsteinThe State represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.- GandhiThe state evil is not the cause but the effect of social evil, just as the sea-waves are the effect not the cause of the storm. The only way of curing the disease is by removing the cause itself.-Gandhi

It is t he emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment. Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society - Jacques Ellul
Television may countermand the warning we once received about the fallacy of the Ad hominem argument. We now banish those who tell us the news when we do not care for the face of the teller. Televison provides a new definition of truth. Credibility is no longer the ultimate test of truth of a proposition, but now the impression of sincerity, authenticity, vulnerability or attractiveness. - Neal Postman
We now live in two societies: One, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world, that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and magic. In this “other society,” serious film and theater, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margin - Chris Hedges
War has all the characteristics of socialism most conservatives hate: Centralized power, state planning, false rationalism, restricted liberties, foolish optimism about intended results, and blindness to unintended secondary results - Joe Sobran
Every man who puts money into the hands of a “government”(so called), puts into its hands a sword which will be used against him, to extort more money from him, and also to keep him in subjection to its arbitrary will - Lysander Spooner
The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants - Albert Camus
Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise - Thomas Gray
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident - Arthur Schopenhauer
Peoples, once accustomed to masters, are not in a condition to do without them. If they attempt to shake off the yoke, they estrange themselves even more from freedom. By mistaking for it an unbridled license to which it is diametrically opposed, they nearly always manage, by their revolutions, to hand themselves over to seducers, who only make their chains heavier than before - Jean Jacques Rousseau
A media system wants ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity - Joseph Goebbels
An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it - John F. Kennedy
Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue - Barry Goldwater
Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty - George Washington
When government turns bad, the best people ultimately become criminals. The people don't change; the laws do. Initiative, dissent, individual pleasures and exercise of one's basic rights become "crimes" - Claire Wolfe
Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing - Dwight D. Eisenhower
All activism or modern political debate consists of is baiting, tricking, or capturing your political opponents doing or saying something outside the mainstream. Then you use manufactured moral outrage to limit his or her access to the public - Kevin DeAnna
If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulder of giants - Isaac Newton
There is no surer way to infect mankind with hatred – brute, blind, virulent hatred – than by splitting it into ethnic groups or tribes. - Ayn Rand
One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation - Thomas Brackett Reed
Reform cannot be achieved by a well-intentioned leader who recruits his followers from the very people whose moral confusion is the cause of the disorder - Socrates (Why Obama won)
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you - Oscar Wilde
Many politicians of our time are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim. If men are to wait for liberty till they become wise and good in slavery they may indeed wait forever ~ Thomas Babington Macaulay
Whenever the private sector introduces an innovation that makes the poor better off than they would have been without it, or that offers benefits or terms that no one else is prepared to offer them, someone-in the name of helping the poor-will call for curbing or abolishing it. - Thomas Woods
Freedom granted only when it is known beforehand that its effects will be beneficial is not freedom - Friedrich Hayek
It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order, in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position - James Truslow author of the often sited phrase "the American Dream"
Any institution that is not libertarian and classically liberal will, over time, become collectivist and statist. - John O'Sullivan's First Law
Christianity and Western Civilization are unimaginable apart from one another. All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space after the religion which has nourished it has sunk into disbelief. - Russell Kirk
All generalizations are false, including this one - Mark Twain
The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become - Mark Twain
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect - Mark Twain
The problems we face today cannot be solved by the minds that created them - Albert Einstein
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it - Thomas Jefferson
A nation that thinks it can be ignorant and free thinks what never was and never will be - Thomas Jefferson
Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one - Friedrich Nietzsche
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others - Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently - Friedrich Nietzsche

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. - Henry David Thoreau
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. - Henry David Thoreau
I am not young enough to know everything. - Oscar Wilde
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. - Woody Allen
Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. - Ronald Reagan
History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. - Ronald Reagan
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. - Abraham Lincoln

The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause - Eric Hoffer
A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business - Eric Hoffer
Nothing is more disruptive to peace within a state of nature than vainglory - Thomas Hobbes
Democracy is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses - H.L. Mencken
Boobus Americanus - ignorant, self-righteous, and overly credulous American middle class - H L Mencken
The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.~ H.L. Mencken
The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule - H.L. Mencken
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free. - Göthe
As a usenet political discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Reductio ad Hitlerum (aka - "Hitler") approaches one - Mike Godwin - Godwin's Law

A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen - James Madison
Our Rights are not given to us by government, we have been endowed with them since our creation by the very Laws of Nature, and as such they can not be repealed by any force on earth - John Adams
The true patriot is motivated by a sense of responsibility and out of self-interest for himself, his family, and the future of his country to resist government abuse of power. He rejects the notion that patriotism means obedience to the state. - Ron Paul
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 - Ron Paul
This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the peoples allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before their faith in the state. Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nations Christian heritage - Lew Rockwell
Those streamlined men who think in slogans and talk in bullets - George Orwell
All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. - George Orwell
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf - George Orwell
I am not interested in pacifism as a ‘moral phenomenon’. If Mr Savage and others imagine that one can somehow ‘overcome’ the German army by lying on one’s back, let them go on imagining it - George Orwell
Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure. - Robert LeFevre
A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom - Thomas Paine
The only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats today is that the Democrats want to tax and spend, and the Republicans want to borrow and spend, but both of them want to spend. They spend like drunken sailors, except that's an insult to sailors because at least sailors are spending their own money - Chuck Baldwin

The things that matter in this country have been reduced in choice..... there are two political parties, there are a handful of insurance companies, six or seven information sources, BUT IF YOU WANT A BAGEL there are 23 flavors - George Carlin
I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created - George Carlin
Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public - George Carlin
It's never 'just a game' when you're winning. - George Carlin
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere - Voltaire
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
History is fables agreed upon. -Voltaire
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but it is morally treasonable to the American public. - Teddy Roosevelt
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. - Winston Churchill
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. - Winston Churchill
The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. - Winston Churchill
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither C. S. Lewis
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C. S. Lewis
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way. - C. S. Lewis
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. C. S. Lewis
Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown
If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?" - Frédéric Bastiat
The socialists declare that the state owes subsistence, well-being, and education to all its citizens; it should be generous, charitable, involved in everything, devoted to everybody; ...that it should intervene directly to relieve all suffering, satisfy and anticipate all wants, furnish capital to all enterprises, enlightenment to all minds, balm for all wounds, asylums for all the unfortunate, and even aid to the point of shedding French blood, for all oppressed people on the face of the earth.
Who would not like to see all these benefits flow forth upon the world from the law, as from an inexhaustible source? ...But is it possible? ...Whence does [the state] draw those resources that it is urged to dispense by way of benefits to individuals? Is it not from the individuals themselves? How, then, can these resources be increased by passing through the hands of a parasitical and voracious intermediary? - Frédéric Bastiat
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. ~ Calvin Coolidge
Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally
superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown
What is Bull$#@!?: "it consists in a lack of concern for the difference between truth and falsity. The motivation of the bullshitter is not to say things that are true or even to say things that are false, but in serving some other purpose. And the question of what he says is true or false is really irrelevant to his pursuit of that ambition. The bullshitter is not necessarily a liar, what he says may very well be true; and he may not think that it's false. - Harry G. Frankfurt, Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Princeton University

The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

"In a profound sense, no social system, whether anarchist or statist, can work at all unless most people are "good" in the sense that they are not all hell-bent upon assaulting and robbing their neighbors. If everyone were so disposed, no amount of protection, whether state or private, could succeed in staving off chaos."- Murray Rothbard"No one has the right to coerce anyone not himself directly engaged in an overt act of aggression against rights. Any loosening of this criterion, to included coercion against remote “risks,” is to sanction impermissible aggression against the rights of others. Any loosening of this criterion, furthermore, is a passport to unlimited despotism." -Murray Rothbard"People who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law."-John Hasnas, myth of the rule of law"War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings. The earthquake means good business for construction workers, and cholera improves the business of physicians, pharmacists, and undertakers; but no one has for that reason yet sought to celebrate earthquakes and cholera as stimulators of the productive forces in the general interest."- Ludwig von Mises"Suppose it be "the best government on earth", does that prove its own goodness, or only the badness of all other governments?"- Lysander Spooner"It is true that state apologists maintain that taxation is "really" voluntary; one simple but instructive refutation of this claim is to ponder what would happen if the government were to abolish taxation, and to confine itself to simple requests for voluntary contributions. Does anyone really believe that anything comparable to the current vast revenues of the state would continue to pour into its coffers?"- Murray N. Rothbard"Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth." - Mahatma Gandhi"At the end of a century that has seen the evils of communism, nazism and other modern tyrannies, the impulse to centralize power remains amazingly persistent." - Joseph Sobran"Doubtless the most miserable of men, under the most oppressive government in the world, if allowed the ballot, would use it, if they could see any chance of thereby meliorating their condition. But it would not, therefore, be a legitimate inference that the government itself, that crushes them, was one which they had voluntarily set up, or even consented to." - Lysander Spooner"I submit that the risks of state tyranny are far greater than the risks of worrying about one or two unreliable procedures of competing defense agencies."- Murray Rothbard"In contrast to all other thinkers, left, right, or in-between, the libertarian refuses to give the state the moral sanction to commit actions that almost everyone agrees would be immoral, illegal, and criminal if committed by any person or group in society. The libertarian, in short, insists on applying the general moral law to everyone, and makes no special exemptions for any person or group."- Murray N. Rothbard"A thief who presumed to justify his theft by saying that he was really helping his victims by his spending, thus giving retail trade a needed boost, would be hooted down without delay. But when this same theory is clothed in keynesian mathematical equations and impressive references to the "multiplier effect," it carries far more conviction with a bamboozled public." - Murray Rothbard"The idea of a strictly limited constitutional state was a noble expiriment that failed, even under the most favorable and propitious circumstances. It failed then, why should a similar expiriment far any better now? No, it is the conservative laissez-fairist, the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, "limit yourself"; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." -Murray Rothbard"Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense." -Ron Paul"Democracy is the illusion that my wife and I, combined, have twice the political influence of David Rockefeller." - Butler Shaffer
