“It is the teaching of the Bible and of sound Political ethics that the education of children belongs to the sphere of the family and is the duty of the parents. The theory that the children of the Commonwealth are the charge of the Commonwealth is a pagan one, derived from heathen Sparta and Platoís heathen republic, and connected by regular, logical sequence with legalized prostitution and the dissolution of the conjugal tie.” ChildrenPoliticalParentSoundEducationTeachingDutyTheoryEthicsConnectedTiesLogicalRepublicSpheresPlatoSequenceProstitutionPaganCommonwealthDissolutionHeathenPlato SSpartaConjugal Author:Robert Dabney
“I am as sure as I am of the fact of Christ's reign, that a comprehensive and centralised system of national education, separated from religion, as is now commonly proposed, will prove the most appalling enginery for the propagation of anti-Christian and atheistic unbelief and of anti-social nihilistic ethics, social and political, which this sin-rent world has ever seen.” WorldFactsChristianPoliticalSocialChristSinEducationProveEthicsReignComprehensiveUnbeliefAtheisticAnti ChristianAnti SocialPropagation Author:Archibald Alexander Hodge

“Because of the oil-and-water relationship governments have cultivated between ethics and political economy, speaking in plain terms - spelling it out as it is - as become foreign to the public. So here goes: When government sports a surplus, this implies that the political pickpockets have stolen more funds than they can possibly dream of spending. The property is not theirs to keep! Conversely, when deficits are reported, this means that the kleptomaniacs have not been able to steal sufficient funds to cover their profligacy.” MeanDreamGovernmentAblePoliticalPoliticsSportsTermWaterEconomyEthicsPropertySpendingOilStealingSufficientFundStolenDeficitSpellingSurplusPolitical EconomyOil And Water Author:Ilana Mercer
