Another example of that is the torture scandal  (James Bovard Quotes) Gun laws are an attempt to nationalize the right of self-defense. Politicians perennially react to the police’s abject failure to prevent crime by trying to disarm law-abiding citizens. The worse government fails to control crime, the more the politicians want to restrict individuals’ rights to defend themselves. But police protection in most places is typical government work - slow, inefficient, and unreliable  (James Bovard Quotes) Entire generations of Americans have come of age since the ancient time when the president’s power was constrained by a duty of candor to the American people  (James Bovard Quotes) American democracy is capsizing as a result of the vast increase in the number of government dependents and government employees.  (James Bovard Quotes) The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.  (James Bovard Quotes) Entire generations of Americans have come of age since the ancient time when the president’s power was constrained by a duty of candor to the American people.  (James Bovard Quotes) Some of the folks on both sides might be sincere, but it does seem as if it is only the opposition that cares about the Bill of Rights most of the time.  (James Bovard Quotes) I was amazed at how easy it was for the Clinton Administration to basically cover what they did at Waco in the fog of lies and avoid any responsibility for it.  (James Bovard Quotes) If an election is simply a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions, then this is not a very noble form of government.  (James Bovard Quotes) Part of the reason that the government’s fear mongering is succeeding is because so many people are so ignorant, that it is easier for government to frighten people in submission.  (James Bovard Quotes) Dependency is the highest political good - at least for politicians. Since the 1930s, politicians have striven to leave no vote unbought.  (James Bovard Quotes) The sheer number of government employees and welfare recipients effectively transforms the purpose of government from maintaining order to confiscating as much as possible from vulnerable taxpayers.  (James Bovard Quotes) The more powerful government becomes, the more abuses it commits and the more lies it must tell  (James Bovard Quotes) The more people expect from government, the more biased they become against limiting government power.  (James Bovard Quotes) Once a person becomes a government dependent, his moral standing to resist the expansion of government power is fatally compromised.  (James Bovard Quotes) The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people  (James Bovard Quotes) It is important to recognize and politics positive thinking is often the slaves’ virtue - something that people do to con themselves about the burden and change being placed upon them  (James Bovard Quotes) It is hard to know how many people do, but given that the people are so docile towards the rulers, nowadays, very few Americans show the passion for freedom that our forefathers had  (James Bovard Quotes)
