Liberty
Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficient.
Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers.
The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
Freedom of Speech
If speech is not independent and untrammeled,
if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear,
it makes no difference under what form of government you live,
you are a subject and not a citizen.
Texas Girls
A Mexican, an Arab, and a Texas girl are in the same bar.
When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, ‘In Mexico , our glasses are so cheap we don’t need to drink with the same one twice.’
The Arab, obviously impressed by this, drinks no-alcohol beer(cuz he’s a muslim!), throws it into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, ‘In the Arab World, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don’t need to drink with the same one twice either.’
The Texas girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws the glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Arab.
Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and calling for a refill, she says, ‘In Texas, we have so many illegal aliens that we don’t have to drink with the same ones twice.’
