James Bovard Quote
– It is like we are obliged to assume that the government is only doing what it says it is doing.
– This is a case if the President is permitted to be above the law, then we no longer have a republic.
– Freedom to vote is valuable primarily as a means to safeguard other freedoms.
– Trumpeting the importance of voting deludes people into thinking that they have a leash on the government.
– If an election is simply a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions, then this is not a very noble form of government
– The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.
– Politicians as a class are dangerous, that people who are seeking power over us are not, by definition, our friends.
