Liberty Quotes- William J. Astore, Dr. Ron Paul, Karl von Clausewitz

"When it comes to our nation's military affairs, ignorance is not bliss.  What's remarkable then, given the permanent state of war in which we find ourselves, is how many Americans seem content not to know."
-- William J. Astore
Retired lieutenant colonel U.S. Air Force, professor of history at the Pennsylvania College of Technology

"We have a lot of goodness in this country. And we should promote it, but never through the barrel of a gun. We should do it by setting good standards, motivating people and have them want to emulate us. But you can't enforce our goodness, like the neocons preach, with an armed force. It doesn't work."
-- Dr. Ron Paul
(1935-) American physician, US Congressman (R-TX), US Presidential candidate
