THE FOUNDATION
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." —Samuel Adams
INSIGHT
"It is not the business of government to make men virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating the very ends they are intended to serve." —Henry George
CULTURE
"Our civil rights struggle to engage in protest against the excesses of the gay 'civil rights' movement is about more than the freedom to petition our government for a redress of grievances. It is also about our deeply held religious conviction that expressing opposition to homosexuality is love speech, not 'hate speech.' The Word of God to Ezekiel (33:8,9) is illustrative: 'If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you warn them to repent and they don't repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.' So, as one can clearly see—if one simply opens his eyes and his heart—the true Christian views the phrase 'it's OK to be gay' to be a form of hate speech. In the view of those who are true followers of Christ, it is a refrain no more hostile than the suggestion that the homosexual simply 'go to hell.' And, so, I submit that those of us who criticize the excesses of the false gay 'civil rights' struggle are the ones involved in the true civil rights struggle on America's campuses." —Mike Adams

Founders' Quote Daily
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."-- James Madison (letter to W.T. Barry, 4 August 1822)
