"Rebellious Americans...once saw how absurd it is to believe
that a Government can give anyone liberty."
"The protection of an American's liberty is not in voting,
it is in the Constitutional restriction of the office-holder's interference
with individuals; and in every American's vigilant defense."
The more Americans believe that Government is a controlling authority,
the more the Government is compelled to use force to hinder and restrict
the exercise of natural individual freedom."
"If Americans ever forget that American Government is not
permitted to restrain or coerce any peaceful individual without
his free consent, if Americans ever regard their use of their
natural liberty as granted to them by the men in Washington
or in the capitols of the States, then this...attempt to
establish the exercise of human rights on earth is ended."
