“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free” Ronald Reagan

“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place.

Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.” Ron Paul

 

“We have buried the putrid corpse of Liberty”  Benito Mussolini (Fascist Dictator of Italy during WW II)
