Mathew D. Staver

Washington, D.C. – Today is the two-year anniversary of President Obama signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law (better known as “Obamacare”) and, ironically, the 237th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Give me Liberty or give me Death” speech. In the time since ObamaCare was passed, we have seen devastating consequences financially and morally to our nation. Several lawsuits have been filed against this law, and on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin hearing oral argument.

Speech by Calvin Coolidge Marking the Occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. 

~ Calvin Coolidge, Speech on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 5, 1926

Thomas Jefferson’s Thoughts On Public Debt And More

ATimely Reminder From Ronald Reagan

 

A Timely Reminder From the late, great Roanld Reagan.

And, if I may preface by paraphrasing remarks made by Sen. Lloyd Bentson to Sen. Dan Quayle during the 1988 vice-presidential debate:

Government And Society Are Not One And The Same

“Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher.”
~Thomas Paine (excerpted from Common Sense, 1776)

The Common Sense of Thomas Paine on Government

“Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries By A Government, which we might expect in a country Without Government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise.”
