Today's Truth

"It used to be the boast of free men that, so long as they kept within the bounds of the known law, there was no need to ask anybody's permission or to obey anybody's orders. It is doubtful whether any of us can make this claim today."

Today's Truth

"When those who are against conservative policies don't have sufficient opposition arguments, they call the love of freedom selfish. Of course it is - in the sense that breathing's selfish."
