It's I Politics That Men

In A Few More Days We Will Celebrate Xmas, The Day We Commemorate The Birth Of You-know-who. ...it Seems The Modern Consensus Of Enlightened People That His Name Should Be Used In Polite Society Only When Cursing.... [p]oliticians Are Often Eager To Associate Themselves Personally With You-know-who, Even -- And Especially -- When They Rather Flagrantly Ignore His Injunctions.... He Was Out Of Step Then, And He Is Out Of Step Now. He Is Eternally Out Of Step, And Eternally More Powerful Than Those Who Keep In Step. You Know Who I Mean.

There Can Be No Such Thing As "limited Government," Because There Is No Way To Control An Entity That In Principle Enjoys A Monopoly Of Power.

It Would Be A Healthy Exercise For Every Politician To Look In The Mirror Every Morning And Remind Himself That He Holds Office Only Because, In A Two-man Race Against Another Mediocrity, A Modest Majority Of Those Half-informed People Who Imagined That Their Votes Mattered Reckoned That He Was The Lesser Evil. And They Weren't Too Sure About That.

Tyranny May Creep In Under The Outward Forms Of Traditional Law.

The Most Successful Revolutions Aren't Those That Are Celebrated With Parades And Banners, Drums And Trumpets, Cannons And Fireworks. The Really Successful Revolutions Are Those That Occur Quietly, Unnoticed, Uncommemorated. We Don't Celebrate The Day The United States Constitution Was Destroyed; It Didn't Happen On A Specific Date, And Most Americans Still Don't Realize It Happened At All. We Don't Say The Constitution Has Ceased To Exist; We Merely Say That It's A 'living Document.' But It Amounts To The Same Thing.
