“The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly in favor of liberty and happiness...beyond the Atlantic. In the wars of the European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries.” DoeWarMatterStatesUnitedLibertyUnited StatesTakenRightsPolicyCitizensJewFavorsInjuryFriendlyCherishSentimentsResent Author:James Monroe
“We hear from time to time about horrible human rights atrocities happening around the globe. Our government claims that it stands in favor of human rights, and our leaders are in the news demanding consequences for other countries that are abusing their populations. But there is a huge denial about how widespread and common these kinds of atrocities are in the United States, and that we are not nearly as different from other countries as we would like to believe we are.” BelieveHumansKindChildrenDifferentCountryStatesGovernmentUnitedCommonLeaderUnited StatesRightsHugeNewsHappeningsConsequenceClaimsHuman RightsPopulationFavorsHorribleDenialOther CountriesGlobesAtrocities Author:Lundy Bancroft

“In the United States, where it has become almost impossible to use "liberal" in the sense in which I have used it, the term "libertarian" has been used instead. It may be the answer; but for my part I find it singularly unattractive. For my taste it carries too much the flavor of a manufactured term and of a substitute.

But I have racked my brain unsuccessfully to find a descriptive term which commends itself.” WantShouldMayHas BeensStatesUseUsedPoliticsGrowthTermAnswersUnitedPartyBrainUnited StatesToo MuchImpossibleEvolutionTasteLibertarianFavorsCarrieSubstitutesSpontaneousFlavorUnattractive Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
