"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution
Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster
“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski
“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa
“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton
"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Surber
"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic
"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar
"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams
"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass
"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels
“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan
"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril
"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
—Bill Whittle

Besides Sarah when has any of them including Glenn linked to a real no holds barred real Liberty Loving article.
The occasional Schlicter link or Steyn link is almost always is one of their mild and obvious articles. Never their full on screeds or sharp tongued criticisms.
In the short time I’ve been back reading insty, that is certainly true.
Sarah is a treasure, the rest are simply on the other side or enablers.
I recently read Glenn’s bio again. He makes a big deal about being in TN and being a regular Joe but his Law Degree is from Yale. The same school as the Bush Klan.
I don’t remember if he has children or not.
But it seems to me he’s much the same as many of the Right media and not such a regular Joe as he lets on. It’s just that he has a sweet gig at Tennessee. Professors easily make 250 Grand a year these days and the hours are a lot better than lawyer hours.
If Glenn had been put in charge of writing incendiary broadsheets during the American Revolution, we’d all still be speaking English today.
Wow I’m glad,because speaking Cockney is so friggin difficult and my Aussie impressions are simply horrible. Mate.
Hey. I don’t know about you, but I speak American, Texan, Tex-Mex, and Southern. English is my fifth language.
One of my favorite movies is Penguins of Madagascar.
While they’re falling from an airplane the Leader Penguin asks the Geek Penguin how far from the ground they are and speed and he answers in meters and km/hour.
The Leader Penguin yells “Speak American, Kowalski” and he says the same thing, adjusted, in feet and miles per hour.
