[Quote No.31388] Need Area: Friends > General
"[Small, power-limited government versus large, power-hungry government; Politicians, propaganda and censorship, patriotism; the corrupting influence of unrestricted power:] In the '50s and '60s, high levels of political trust served as a presidential enabler, allowing unrestrained spying at home and unnecessary wars abroad. In 1971, just as Americans were beginning to wake up to the dangers of excessive trust in the federal government, the Watergate tapes captured an interesting exchange between Richard Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman.
The two were debating what to do about the impending release of the Pentagon Papers, a classified history of the Vietnam War that documented a host of government lies. Haldeman warned Nixon that the release would undermine the public's belief in 'the implicit infallibility of presidents, which has been an accepted thing in America,' and reveal that 'people do things the President wants to do even though it's wrong, and the President can be wrong.'
No American today could pronounce that phrase, 'the implicit infallibility of presidents,' without a smirk, and we should be very glad about that. Our Founding Fathers knew that no man [or woman] was infallible.
With that insight in mind, they designed a constitution that would prevent any one man, or body of men, from seizing unchecked power. Today's politicians and pundits may lament rising political distrust, but when the voters refuse to take claims of federal benevolence on faith, they're honoring their forefathers and fulfilling their duty as citizens." - Gene Healy
a vice president at the Cato Institute and author of 'The Cult of the Presidency: America's Dangerous Devotion to Executive Power'. Quoted from the article, 'In Defense of Distrust in Government', published in the 'DC Examiner' on March 17, 2009.

[Quote No.31548] Need Area: Friends > General
"[When times are difficult in any economy, as they are now throughout the globe in 2009, it is important for the people, who understand economics, to stand up for free market capitalism and explain why it is better than the alternatives, otherwise the average person will listen to the siren call of socialism's paternalism, and give up their own and their children's precious freedom, which their parents died to give them, for a few cheap, short term benefits.]
A new national poll [in 2009] finds only 53% of Americans say capitalism is better than socialism.
Another 27% aren’t sure which one is better. Really.
And it gets even worse when you talk to people under 30.
Only 37% say capitalism works better than socialism.
30% are too ignorant to know which one works better.
One third of them, 33%, proudly claim socialism is the way to go!" - Donny Ferguson
Director of Communications, [US] Libertarian Party.
