Ludwig von Mises
“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.”
― Ludwig von Mises, Bureaucracy

“National security was invoked so freely that the First Amendment had become an empty promise. ”
― Matthew Bracken, Foreign Enemies And Traitors

Stefan Molyneux
“When poverty declines, the need for government declines, which is why expecting government to solve poverty is like expecting a tobacco company to mount an aggressive anti-smoking campaign.”
― Stefan Molyneux

Murray N. Rothbard
“Libertarianism holds that the only proper role of violence is to defend person and property against violence, that any use of violence that goes beyond such just defense is itself aggressive, unjust, and criminal”
― Murray N. Rothbard

“Hadn’t Jefferson written, “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God?”  Hadn’t he also written, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants?”
― Matthew Bracken, Enemies Foreign And Domestic
