Text Quotes
Nobody is denying we should investigate and do what we can to prevent gun crime in our cities and towns. But, we should not scapegoat the American gun owner for complicated, cultural problems we are just beginning to understand  (Bob Barr Quotes) Going to war against Iran - whether one calls such a move ‘surgical’ or ‘total’ - would be an extremely serious undertaking; with worldwide economic, military, diplomatic and human ramifications in both the short- and the long-term.  (Bob Barr Quotes) When conducted with proper preparation, and in a focused and professional manner, oversight of executive branch actions can reveal serious shortcomings by government officials and help prevent recurrence; the ‘Waco hearings,’ conducted over a two-week period in 1995, stand as an example of such an undertaking.  (Bob Barr Quotes) Looking down the road, space exploration and the benefits it yields - in medicine and information technology - should not be overlooked.  (Bob Barr Quotes) Despite two decisions, in 2008 and 2010, by the U.S. Supreme Court unequivocally affirming that the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms against infringement by the government, state legislatures continue to do just that - enact laws that significantly infringe this fundamental human right.  (Bob Barr Quotes) It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today’s intelligence challenges.  (Bob Barr Quotes) The world is undoubtedly a safer, freer place because Thatcher - like Reagan - refused to back down when it came to defending freedom.  (Bob Barr Quotes) Unfortunately, most gun control advocates are not really interested in rational debate, and their political games simply send Alice chasing white rabbits down holes.  (Bob Barr Quotes) The average American returning from a trip abroad likely - and understandably - assumes the contents of his or her electronic device does not come close to meeting the threshold of ‘criminal’ activity, such as would give a government agent the right to seize and peruse their iPad just because they are returning from a vacation.  (Bob Barr Quotes) Now, national conventions are largely an excuse for companies and party leaders to throw parties for delegates to attend, to network and have a good time.  (Bob Barr Quotes) History has shown that Big Government expands quickest in the immediate aftermath of a crisis - real or manufactured.  (Bob Barr Quotes) The legal principle placing the burden of proof on accusers rather than the accused can be traced back to Second and Third Century Roman jurist, Julius Paulus Prudentissimus. Yet, this ancient concept, which forms the legal and moral cornerstone of the American judicial system, is quickly being undermined in the name of ‘national security.’  (Bob Barr Quotes) The seemingly omnipresent storm clouds hanging over the Constitution often make it hard to find a silver lining. Every day, the front page of The Drudge Report is littered with stories of government assaults on our civil liberties - from local government officials all the way up to the Oval Office  (Bob Barr Quotes) The move to tax Internet sales, clothed as a ‘fairness’ issue, is the typical ‘wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing’ ploy so often used by governments unwilling to cut expenditures to match revenues. It matters not whether its proponents have a ‘D’ or an ‘R’ after their name. It is a tax increase in either case  (Bob Barr Quotes) People and organizations other than doctors increasingly are assuming power to decide which medications to prescribe or procedures to undertake. More and more, decisions about personal healthcare are no longer made by the treating physicians in consultation with their patients, and based on the doctors’ expertise  (Bob Barr Quotes) In a single generation, the Internet has given to virtually every person on the face of the earth the ability to communicate with fellow human beings on virtually any topic, at any time, and in every nook and cranny on the globe. This magnificent invention has done this without succumbing to government control  (Bob Barr Quotes) MoveOn loves government. It remains enamored of government spending as fuel for its liberal agenda; and anything that threatens to close that spigot in any degree is perceived as a dire threat - worthy of Chicken-Little warnings that the sky is going to fall  (Bob Barr Quotes) Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people - real people; including, I daresay, a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern, secular world, and particularly American values  (Bob Barr Quotes) I’m pro-life but I believe that the federal government ought to stay out of it. That’s a decision that the people of each state ought to make for themselves  (Bob Barr Quotes) Chicago is known for good steaks, expensive stores and beautiful architecture. Unfortunately, the Windy City also enjoys a reputation for corrupt politics, violent crime, and some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere in the country  (Bob Barr Quotes) It is not just software glitches and corrupted memory cards that should be on the minds of election officials. Hackers pose another very real problem whereby an election could be tilted towards a favored candidate  (Bob Barr Quotes) Taking privacy cues from the federal government is - to say the least - ironic, considering today’s Orwellian level of surveillance. At virtually any given time outside of one’s own home, an American citizen can reasonably assume his movements and actions are being monitored by something, by somebody, somewhere  (Bob Barr Quotes) It is difficult, if not impossible, to argue that laws written in the 1970s are adequate for today’s intelligence challenges  (Bob Barr Quotes) It’s not a gun control problem; it’s a cultural control problem  (Bob Barr Quotes) It is high time for some congressional oversight backbone  (Bob Barr Quotes) Firearms manufacturers usually find themselves playing defense  (Bob Barr Quotes) What has to do with your ability to fall asleep is not caffeine. It’s having a clean conscience. I have a clean conscience so I can drink all the caffeine I want  (Bob Barr Quotes) The definition of throwing your vote away is to go into that voting booth and vote for one of two parties that will not change the direction this country’s going in  (Bob Barr Quotes) Accepting federal funding undermines state sovereignty as states become beholden to federal requirements in order to keep the money flowing  (Bob Barr Quotes) Courts have long recognized the federal government’s robust power to inspect people and goods entering the country. After all, the very foundation of national sovereignty is a nation’s ability to protect its borders  (Bob Barr Quotes)
