Fundamentals Quotes

“Among the fundamental likeness between the Revolutionary Republicans and the Anarchists is the recognition that the little must precede the great; that the local must be the basis of the general; that there can be a free federation only when there are free communities to federate; that the spirit of the latter is carried into the councils of the former, and a local tyranny may thus become an instrument for general enslavement.”

We, we in this party, offer a better way for our country based on fundamentals that go back to the founding generation.”

Because it's quite clear that Mr. Boehner has no control over this conference.”

“The first question that offers itself is, whether the general form and aspect of the government be strictly republican?
