Freedom Has Ceased To Be A Birthright;

The Words Of Jesus, Including Those Jefferson And The Jesus Seminar Have Blue-pencilled, Have A Unique Permanence. They Don't Merely Survive As Aphoristic Wisdom; They Have An Authority In Our Hearts, Even When We Try To Deny Them. They Command. We Can Obey Or Rebel. That Is Why Jesus Is Still Not Only Loved But Hated - And Why Those Who Hate Him Feel They Have To Profess To Love Him.

The Most Successful Revolutions Aren't Those That Are Celebrated With Parades And Banners, Drums And Trumpets, Cannons And Fireworks. The Really Successful Revolutions Are Those That Occur Quietly, Unnoticed, Uncommemorated. We Don't Celebrate The Day The United States Constitution Was Destroyed; It Didn't Happen On A Specific Date, And Most Americans Still Don't Realize It Happened At All. We Don't Say The Constitution Has Ceased To Exist; We Merely Say That It's A 'living Document.' But It Amounts To The Same Thing.

Government Is The Agent Of Those Who Are Too Refined To Do Their Own Mugging.

Politicians Never Accuse You Of 'greed' For Wanting Other People's Money - Only For Wanting To Keep Your Own Money.

It's A Real Enigma Why People Are So Averse To Real Free Market Capitalism Even Now. Here We Are, In The Century That Has Seen Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot-and We're Still Being Warned Against The 'robber Barons' Of The 19th Century. I Don't Know That Jay Gould Or John D. Rockefeller Ever Killed Anyone. The State Has Killed Countless People, And Yet We're Always Supposed To Remain On Guard Against These 'greedy Villains' Of Yesteryear.
