1064: Ron Paul – Racism is Collectivism

Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence—not skin color, gender, or ethnicity. —Ron Paul

1057: Jacob Hornberger – Statists and Their Beliefs

The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the United States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it. Statists believe that their lives—their very being—are a privilege that the state has given to them. They believe that everything they do is, and should be, dependent on the consent of the government. —Jacob Hornberger

1043: Tom Woods – How Many Would Stand Up to Propaganda

1039: Thomas Jefferson – Rightful Liberty is Unobstructed Action

Rightful Liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual. —Thomas Jefferson

1016: Henry Hazlitt – Minimum Wage Deprives Men of Work

You cannot make a man worth a given amount by making it illegal for anyone to offer him anything less.

You merely deprive him of the right to earn the amount that his abilities and situation would permit him to earn, while you deprive the community even of the moderate services that he is capable of rendering. —Henry Hazlitt
