“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
― Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle

“What manner of men had lived in those days...who had so eagerly surrendered their sovereignty for a lie and a delusion? Why had they been so anxious to believe that the government could solve problems for them which had been pridefully solved, many times over, by their fathers? Had their characters become so weak and debased, so craven and emasculated, that offers of government dole had become more important than their liberty and their humanity? Had they not know that power delegated to the government becomes the club of tyrants? They must have known. They had their own history to remember, and the history of five thousand years. Yet, they had willingly and knowingly, with all this knowledge, declared themselves unfit to manage their own affairs and had placed their lives, which belonged to God only, in the hands of sinister men who had long plotted to enslave them, by wars, by "directives," by "emergencies." In the name of the American people, the American people had been made captive.”
― Taylor Caldwell, The Devil's Advocate

Holy fuck.....though truthful to the core by that hag expressing it how the fuck does it make its way into this collection of quotes. Both are page 11.

“We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people.”
― Hilary Rodham Clinton

“The only way to make a difference is to acquire power.”
― Hilary Rodham Clinton

I guess in its factual dropping of the facade this tyrant tries to hide behind it should be included for its ability to identify the evil.

I note the atheists have a bunch of quotes in there also. I harbor no ill will toward atheists. Thats their perogative as long as they let me believe what I want to believe.

But alas they will not. I have my own belief system that in many ways aligns with most but then again aligns with few. As someone who stands on the outside and looks in the Atheists are some of the worst in tolerance.

“When one with honeyed words but evil mind persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.”

Seems quite appropriate for our times
