“However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control. Now, to me, this was about a federal agency’s dangerous response to a situation that could have resulted in a catastrophe, and that means people dying and people being shot, kind of comparable to what we saw in Waco, Texas.” PeopleMenWantHeartKindMeanGovernmentBeliefSituationIssuesSawsDyingDangerousShotsResponseAgencyTexasCatastropheMean PeopleNevadaPeople DyingStandoffs Author:Sean Hannity
“The US and UK governments' relentless backing for the global spread of genetically modified seeds was in fact the implementation of a decades long policy of the Rockefeller Foundation since the 1930's, when it funded Nazi eugenics research - i.e. mass-scale population reduction, and control of darker-skinned races by an Anglo-Saxon white elite. As some of these circles saw it, war as a means of population reduction was costly and not that efficient.” MeanLongWarFactsGovernmentWhiteRaceSawsPolicyMassResearchFoundationPopulationSpreadSeedsDecadesCirclesScalesEfficientElitesNaziRelentlessReductionEugenics1930sImplementationAnglo SaxonGenetically Modified Author:F.

They knew that the American experiment in individual liberty, free enterprise and republican self-government could succeed only if power were widely distributed.

The truth of this insight is immediately apparent.” PeopleIfsMenWellsSelfCountryWisdomGovernmentPoliticalFatherPoliticsIndividualSocialWealthLibertyEnemyEconomySawsRightsEconomicRepublicanSucceedUnderstoodFlowPropertyInsightExperimentsLiberalismEnterpriseFoundingOur Founding FathersPolitical PowerFree EnterpriseIndividual LibertySelf-governmentEconomic Power Author:Ronald Reagan
“When the Founders thought of democracy, they saw democracy in the political sphere - a sphere strictly limited by the Constitution's well-defined and enumerated powers given the federal government.

“The omission of an expected conjunction is called an asyndeton. Caesar is supposed to have said about Gaul: I came, I saw, I conquered. Lincoln concluded the Gettysburg Address, That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.Caesar seems to have omitted his conjunction to speed things up; he is emphasizing how quickly the conquest of a place follows from its being sighted by a great and ambitious general.
