"No one understood better than Stalin that the true object of propaganda is neither to convince nor even to persuade, but to produce a uniform pattern of public utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought immediately reveals itself as a jarring dissonance."  - Alan Bullock, in Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives

"...I know not what treason is, if sapping and betraying the liberties of a people be not treason..." - Cato

"As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than that. I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated." -- Charlton Heston (1924- ) American actor, former president of National Rifle Association

"Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children." — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com

"A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government." - Kenneth Boulding, University of Michigan, quoted in The Hidden Persuaders

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote, in other words, killing the wolves. Nowadays the wolves call themselves "Liberals."

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H. L. Mencken

"Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready." - Theodore Roosevelt San Francisco, CA, May 13, 1903

"Only a large-scale popular movement toward decentralization and self-help can arrest the present tendency toward statism... A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers." -- Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) Author Source: Forward to 'Brave New World', 1932

"The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits." — Plutarch

"The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government..." - Article IV, Section 4, U.S. Constitution

"One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived." - Niccolo Machiavelli

"The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs." - Deu 32:25

"But now one who has a money bag should take it, and likewise
a sack, and one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one." - Jesus Christ. Luke 22:36

"When a strong man (a man of superior physical strength) armed
(to furnish fully with arms; weapons) keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace." - Jesus Christ. Luke 11:21 

"Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully,
and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood."  The word of God to Jeremiah. Jeremiah 48:10 

"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." — The Dalai Lama, (May 15, 2001, The Seattle Times) speaking at the "Educating Heart Summit" in Portland, Oregon, when asked by a girl how to react when a shooter takes aim at a classmate

"Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule." - Jefferson Davis

"Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage." - H. L. Mencken

"You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy... The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal." --Thomas Jefferson, 1820e

“The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, its meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now.” - S. Carolina v. U.S., 199 U.S. 437, 448 (1905).

“We are bound to interpret the Constitution in the light of the law as it existed at the time it was adopted.” - Mattox v. U.S., 156 US 237, 243.

"The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power."  - Cockrum v. State,  24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)

"Most reporters are very sympathetic to gun-control agendas and will skew or lie outright about facts to promote them." — Dennis Cauchon, USA Today

"Reporters today are far removed from America's founding values and are alarmed and contemptuous of gun owners as dangerous lower classes." — Henry Allen, Washington Post

“There are three estates in Parliament but in the Reporters’ Gallery yonder there sits a Fourth Estate more important far than they all. It is not a figure of speech or witty saying, it is a literal fact, very momentous to us in these times.” - Attributed to Edmund Burke, English Statesman [1739-1797]

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States." — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888).

"I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly." - Michel de Montaigne

"The decadence of a civilization by loss of faith and vigour can be observed more than once in history. What is extraordinary about the American situation is the stupidity. The Romans, such is my impression, did not become stupid and incompetent with their decadence. Americans have not lost faith in their cultural inheritance---they have been entirely separated from it. How this happened is one of the few topics still worth exploring in this Twilight." - Clyde Wilson

"The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself." - From H L Mencken's "Notes On Democracy"

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." -- John Adams, The Works of John Adams, Second President of the United States, Charles Francis Adams, editor (Boston: Charles C. Little and James Brown, 1850), Vol. VI, p. 484.

"[D]emocracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few." -- The Papers of John Adams, Robert J. Taylor, editor (Cambridge: Belknap Press, 1977), Vol. I, p. 83, from "An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, with the Author's Comment in 1807," written on August 29, 1763, but first published by John Adams in 1807.

"In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all - security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again." - Edward Gibbon [On ancient Athens]

“The great trouble with religion – any religion – is that a religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge those propositions by evidence. One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason – but one cannot have both.” From the science fiction novel ‘Friday’ by Robert A. Heinlein  Pg. 253

"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means
of preserving peace." -- George Washington (1732-1799) Founding Father, 1st US President, 'Father of the Country'

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) English philosopher and economist

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." - Sun Tzu

"From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms! Through the land let the sound of it flee; Let the far and the near all unite, with a cheer, In defense of our Liberty Tree." -- Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” -Samuel Adams

Patrick Henry's speech

"Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms." — Robert Heinlein in his novel "Starship Troopers"

"When Pa was at home the gun always lay across those two wooden hooks above the door. ... The gun was always loaded, and always above the door so that Pa could get it quickly and easily, any time he needed a gun." — Laura Ingalls Wilder

..."Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions - everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses "- (Juvenal, Satire 10.77-81)

"Subjugating the enemy's army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence." - Sun Tzu, in 'The Art of War'(Now go sit down in front of your television and think about that quote.)

"Democracy is the road to socialism.” - Karl Marx

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened." -- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party Presidential candidate

"The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism." - Karl Marx

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans to legitimately own handguns and rifles" - Bill Klinton March 1, 1993, Remarks by the President In Discussion With National Service Volunteers, Learning Center New Brunswick, New Jersey

"The democratic concept of man is false, because it is Christian. The democratic concept holds that . . . each man is a sovereign being. This is the illusion, dream, and postulate of Christianity." - Karl Marx

We're here to tell the NRA their nightmare is true!... We're going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy. We're going to beat guns into submission!-- Rep. Charles Schumer on NBC Nightly News Nov. 30, 1993.

"The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property." - Karl Marx

Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of all Americans to feel safe.-- Sen. Dianne Feinstein quoted by AP on Nov. 18, 1993

Asked if a federal ban on "assault weapons" would reduce crime, Gwen Fitzgerald of Handgun Control Inc. says, "Let's pass the law and find out." --REASON magazine, May 1991 ("Gun-Shy Judges" by Jacob Sullum)

The Brady Bill's only effect will be to desensitize the public to regulation of weapons in preparation for their ultimate confiscation. — Charles Krauthammer, The Washington Post, April 5, 1996

I have not one doubt, even if I am in agreement with the National Rifle Association, that that kind of record keeping procedure [gun registration] is the first step to eventual confiscation under one administration or another. —Charles Morgan, Director, Washington DC ACLU

“If I could have banned them all — (and said) ‘Mr. and Mrs. America turn in your guns’ — I would have!” declared U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., on the TV program “60 Minutes” on Feb. 5, 1995.

We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it” – Karl Marx(This is usually what political candidates mean by 'change.')

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people as long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty." -- Adolf Hitler

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).)

"Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily persuaded." - Karl Marx

When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already. . . . What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."  Adolf Hitler (1889 - 1945)  Source: 1933, quoted in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, "Education in the Third Reich"

"The Confederate flag is offensive in many, many ways, as we all know. It is a symbol of racism and slavery." — John McCain, January 9, 2000, South Carolina

During his years as Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels employed a simple, but highly cynical set of rules. He said: 

• There is no truth, only what people believe to be true.
• Control people’s perceptions of the world and you can control their beliefs.
• A big lie is as believable as a small one. 
• Tell people what they want to hear; give them simple solutions to complex problems, enemies on whom they can blame their discontents, and promises to satisfy their narrow aspirations…

So what part of Goebbels’ cynical philosophy does not describe the overall political approach of today’s Democrat Party? - Paul Hollrah


"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than a small one." - Adolf Hitler in 'Mein Kampf'

"It would be the greatest mistake, certainly, to think that concessions mean peace. Nothing of the kind. Concessions are nothing but a new form of war." -- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin [Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov] (1870 - 1924), First Leader of the Soviet Union

"The war made possible for us the solution of a whole series of problems that could never have been solved in normal times."
-- Joseph Paul Goebbels (1897-1945) Nazi Propaganda Minister

"Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." -- Mao Tse-Tung Premier of China (1893 - 1976)

“We fought for this country, and a lot of blood was shed. We are not going to give up our country because of a mere X. How can a ballpoint fight with a gun?” – Robert Mugabe on the possible outcome of a Zimbabwe election.

"Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river." -- Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971) Premier of the Soviet Union

"One death is a tragedy, but a million deaths are a statistic."
-- Josef Stalin (1879-1953) Communist leader/dictator of the USSR(Who was once openly admired by Amerikan "Liberals," until his murderous ways became public knowledge and he was no longer politically correct.)

“The National Rifle Association has been in support of workable, enforceable gun control legislation since its very inception in 1871.”  - NRA Vice President Franklin L. Orth(And that's the problem. You should join Gun Owners of America, the 'no compromise' gun lobby.)

"If the opposition disarms, all is well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves." - Josef Stalin * The Political Report of the Central Committee, The Fifteenth Congress of the C.P.S.U.(B.) (7 December 1927) 

“Investigate the NRA with renewed vigor. Print names of those who take NRA funds. Support all causes the NRA opposes. The Times-Herald is right. The work a day guy doesn’t envision total confiscation, but many with the real power to sway public opinion and effect change in America do.” – T. Winship, Editor – Boston Globe, in Editor and Publisher Magazine, April 24, 1993, pg. 24

"I now think the only way to control handgun use is to prohibit the guns. And the only way to do that is to change the Constitution." — M. Gartner, then President of NBC News, USA Today, January 16, 1992, pg. A9

"Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?" - Josef Stalin

"I'm not here to say that the government is always right, but when the government tells you to do something, I'm sure you would all agree that I think you all recognize that is something you need to do." - U.S. Senator Christopher Bond

"But, clearly, the prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands. The current circumstances come out of what I think is a very important and indeed appropriate action that the Iraqi government has taken." - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a news story about a militia in Iraq refusing to lay down their arms. (How about that imported 'democracy?')
 

Ladd Everitt of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence urged tighter gun control laws and insisted that “the government must have a monopoly on force” to maintain domestic security. He compared his fight for gun control to David and Goliath but said the "media is one of the few constituencies" that sympathize with the gun control cause.

Everitt recommended Joan Burbeck’s book, which explains that, “Guns are a kind of a token or idol became a sort of a token to reassign blame to this kind of dark skinned burglar a way to reassert the power of white males.” Everitt lamented, “There was not a single positive proposal that Congress considered for the past six years," except possibly one, which he did not name.

“I think it is important to understand the tremendous cultural and philosophical divide” between those who advocate stricter gun control and those who oppose it, Everitt said. He claimed that among “hardcore gun owners, it is a profoundly, virulently anti-government attitude” that motivates their gun ownership. He decried the NRA belief that “if our government becomes tyrannical they have a right to take over that government, our democratically elected government!” - This sourced here

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)
 

"As society becomes more diverse, we must regain the lost art of compromise. Otherwise, we'll never be able to deal with complex problems in ways that protect everyone's rights. Polarization may be good for special-interest groups and political parties, but it's bad for America.

If Second Amendment absolutists keep standing up and daring others to pry their guns from their "cold, dead fingers," eventually somebody's going to do it." – “Liberal” lowlife newswhore Tom Eblin in the Lexington Marxist Leader.

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will.

"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance." President George Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N., February 1,1992

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” ~ John Locke

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ]

How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual… as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of. — Representative Suzanna Gratia Hupp (TX)

When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred. - Niccolo Machiavelli

A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people  themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms. — Richard Henry Lee, Additional Letters from the Federal Framer (1788) at p. 169

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government." — Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist (#28)

I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962

"We Americans have set dangerous precedents. We can rest assured that those pushing for gun control have no intention of stopping short of total gun confiscation. At some point, we who cherish liberty must summon the courage of our forefathers and tell America's tyrants, 'Give me liberty, or give me death!' The longer we wait, the greater the ultimate bloodshed." -- Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics, George Mason University.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally. -Niccolo Machiavelli

"What is essential in war is victory, not prolonged operations." - Sun Tzu

It doesn't require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires to people's minds. — Samuel Adams

“A failing state cannot stop a revolution whose time has come.” - Ron Paul

"We all have it comin' kid." - Clint Eastwood as 'William "Bill" Munny in 'Unforgiven.'

Why do I need to own a politically incorrect 'assault rifle?' For the people who tell me I don't 'need' it.

The kind of 'gun control' Amerika needs:
"No child shall be allowed to graduate high school until he/she has demonstrated the ability to control a gun well enough to hit a running "Liberal" at 300 meters."

Good gun control is hitting the "Liberal" you target. Excellent gun control is dropping it with only one shot.

When my gun is pried from my cold, or hot, dead hands, I intend it to be by a younger, stouter, abler fighter who will continue to use it against those whose every breath is consumed by the relentless effort to destroy human Liberty.

All gun control is propaganda designed to condition the sheeple to accept further ‘control’ until the final objective, civilian disarmament, is achieved. Thus all gun control is an act of war.

Two simple rules to avoid ultimate tyranny:

1. If they're asking for or demanding your weapons, they're the enemy. It's time to get in their face and demand to know what they plan to take next.

2. If they tell the common folk they don't have the right to fight back, the time is probably coming soon when the common folk will have no choice but to fight back. In other words, when they tell you that you don't have a right to fight them, soon you'll probably have to fight them.

When some "Liberal" says "We just don't agree." It shows how little they understand, or the hugeness of their lie. Because most of what they do is not disagreement, but acts of war.

You can lead a jackass to the library but you can't make him think.

Voting for a “Liberal” is like voting to live in Hell on Earth. Tolerating a “Liberal” is like tolerating a brain tumor. Tolerating “Liberal”ism in government is like tolerating cancer.

'Liberals'(communists, socialists, progressives and other cute names, and republicrats) don't tolerate my Liberty so why should I tolerate them?

The word "Liberty" is on all our coins. Are you too stupid to understand the importance of that?

    "Men occasionally stumble over truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
