“Dictatorships can exist with free markets - not that China is really a free market - especially in poor countries where the regime insists that it's a choice between food and liberty, a false choice. But increasing affluence will inevitably result in political pressure.” CountryPoliticalChoicesPoorLibertyDictatorshipFree Market Author:Garry Kasparov
“There are a number of Americans who've been taught that, that the Constitution has nothing to do with immigration. The Declaration of Independence has nothing to do with it. It's the Statue of Liberty. And there is complete and total ignorance about it. And I maintain it's because they have not been taught the truth. And even if they have been taught the truth, they have rejected it in favor of what their political biases happen to be as their political biases relate to their narrative and the agenda.” PoliticalLibertyIgnoranceConstitutionIndependenceImmigrationRejectedDeclarationDeclaration Of IndependenceStatue Of Liberty Author:Rush Limbaugh
“The issue of religious liberty is absolutely critical. America was founded on three different types of liberty: political liberty, economic liberty, and religious and civil liberty. It's remarkable that, one-by-one, these strands of liberty are coming under fierce attack from the Left. And that's particularly ironic because "liberal" derives from a word which means "liberty," the free man as opposed to the slave. This liberalism which we're saddled with today isn't a real liberalism at all, but a gangster style of politics masquerading as liberalism.” MenMeanDifferentRealTodayPoliticalReligiousLibertyEconomicStyleSlaveLiberalismRemarkableIronicFierceGangstersCivil Liberties Author:Dinesh D'Souza

“Deregulation is a popular term that's used across the political spectrum. And it's one of these terms like "choice," that corporate interests have used because they know their focus-group buzzword testing makes it sound like a popular word. Because, who can be against deregulation? Being free, having liberty, not having someone tell you what to do, being deregulated, hey, that sounds great. But deregulation is a non sequitur in the realm of media policy or media regulation. The issue is never regulation versus deregulation; our entire system is built on media policies and subsidies.” PoliticalChoicesTermInterestLibertyPolicyBeing Free Author:Robert Waterman McChesney
“One of our greatest challenges here in America is that pogressives don't always stand with the progressive Muslims because in the interest of freedom of religion and civil liberties and political correctness, they don't want to offend cultural choices by Muslims. I know that people have gone to these interfaith sessions at different mosques and they see that the women end up in the basement, but they don't want to challenge anyone because they think, "Oh, well this is your way".” PeopleThinkingDifferentPoliticalChoicesInterestChallengesLibertyProgressivePolitical CorrectnessCivil LibertiesFreedom Of ReligionOh Well Author:Asra Nomani
“I received the Media for Liberty Award from Swedish PEN, and the prize was awarded by the Swedish minister of culture, who also happens to be the minister of sport. When she handed me the award, I said, Thank you, it's wonderful to be recognized, but we journalists always want more. So madam minister, I have a personal favor to ask you: Do not go to Sochi. And she announced that she was going to Sochi, but she's not attending the ceremonies, for political reasons. It's a very pointed stance.” ReasonPoliticalCultureSportsLibertyWonderfulJournalistPrizePensCeremony Author:Masha Gessen
“That has been one of the pleasant surprises of my semester - finding that some of my Liberty friends are still my friends, even though they now know where I stand on social and political issues. These aren't cloistered idealogues, for the most part. They have liberal and non-religious friends. I think they're much more compromising than the evangelicals of a generation ago.” ThinkingPoliticalLibertySurpriseCompromiseSemester Author:Kevin Roose
