Dear
Lovers of Liberty, the struggle is
just beginning! Get ready...
- Are you aware by May of 2008 the law will
require you to
carry a national identification card?
- Are
you aware that there are plans being developed to have all Americans
embedded with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) computer chip
under their skin so they can be tracked wherever they go?
- Are you aware the Supreme Court has ruled
that the
government has no authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the
labor of the American people, and the 16th Amendment does not give the
government that power?
- Are you aware that computer voting
machines can be rigged
and there is no way to ensure that your vote is counted?

"Our 'neoconservatives'
are neither new nor conservative, but old as Bablyon and evil as Hell."
Edward Abbey
"The
war was the
hard part. The hard part was putting together a
coalition, getting 300,000 troops over there and all their equipment
and winning. And it gets easier. I mean, setting up a democracy is
hard, but it is not as hard as winning a war."
Fred
Barnes, Fox News,
4/10/03
"If we want Iraq to avoid becoming a Somalia on steroids, we'd better get used to U.S. troops being deployed there for years, possibly decades, to come. If that raises hackles about American imperialism, so be it. We're going to be called an empire whatever we do. We might as well be a successful empire."
Max Boot, Imperialist (2003)
"This has been a tough war for commentators on the American left. ... Liberal writers for ideologically driven magazines like The Nation and for less overtly political ones like The New Yorker did not predict a defeat, but the terrible consequences many warned of have not happened.Now liberal commentators must address the victory at hand and confront an ascendant conservative juggernaut that asserts U.S. might can set the world right."
David Carr, New York Times reporter, 4/16/03

"Now is, in short, the time for a return to first principles. Properly labeling the
present conflict is not a panacea. But making it clear that we are engaged in nothing
less than a War for the Free World will make it easier to take the steps necessary, both
at home and abroad, to secure the victory we literally cannot live without."
Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.
"The
neoconservatives
have so changed conservatism
that what
we now identify as conservatism
is largely what was once neoconservatism. And in so doing, they have
defined
the way that vast numbers of Americans view their economy, their
polity,
and their society."
Mark Gerson,
in 'The
Essential Neoconservative Reader'
"The Founders were not
democrats and socialists..., but conservatives
who had a healthy distrust of political passions and who devised a
complex
system designed to frustrate the schemes of social redeemers and others
convinced of their own invincible virtue."
David Horowitz
"You cannot cripple an opponent by outwitting him in a
political debate. You can only do it by following Lenin's injunction:
'In political
conflicts, the goal is not to refute your opponent's argument, but to
wipe him from the face of the earth.' "
David Horowitz, 'The Art of Political War and Other
Radical Pursuits' 2000
"The 1998 missile strike on the Sudan was an
unannounced, unprovoked attack that destroyed that Third World nation's
only medicine factory. Yet it provoked no opposition outcry on the
left. The Clinton air strike violated every principle of the current
liberal critique of Bush foreign policy."
David Horowitz, (makes my libertarian point for me)
"The difference between the Paleo-cranks and the
Commie-cranks is that the Communists are in love with an America in the
future that's designed in their image and the Paleos are in love with
the America of the 18th Century. That's the difference, but they share
a common attitude towards America as it exists today."
David Horowitz
"Israel is the canary in the mine. What happens to Israel
will eventually happen to America itself."
David Horowitz
"Politics is
about
winning. If you don't win, you
don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way
to win, or sit the battle out."
David Horowitz, (use Lenin's tactics if you must, see above)
"Well, the hot
story of the week is victory. The Tommy Franks-Don
Rumsfeld battle plan, war plan, worked brilliantly, a three-week war
with mercifully few American deaths or Iraqi civilian deaths. There is
a lot of work yet to do, but all the naysayers have been humiliated so
far. The final word on this is hooray."
Morton
Kondracke, Fox News,
4/12/03
"The great divide
in
American foreign
policy thinking is between
those who believe in paper
and those who believe in power."
Charles
Krauthammer
"The
only
people who think this (the Iraq war) wasn't a victory are Upper West
Side
liberals, and a few people here in Washington."
Charles
Krauthammer,
"Inside Washington," 4/19/2003
"[We] are
conservative,
but different in certain respects from the conservatism of the
Republican
Party. We accepted the New Deal in principle, and had little affection
for the kind of isolationism that then permeated American conservatism."
Irving
Kristol, in his
1995 book, Neoconservatism: The Autobiography of an Idea
"Neocons
do not feel that kind of alarm or anxiety about the growth of the state
in the past century, seeing it as natural, indeed inevitable ... People
have always preferred strong government to weak
government, although
they certainly have no liking for anything that smacks of overly
intrusive government."
Irving Kristol, "The
Neoconservative Persuasion"
"I regard
myself to have
been a young Trostkyite and I have not a single bitter memory."
Irving
Kristol, 1995
"(A)
conservative welfare
state ... is perfectly consistent with the neoconservative
perspective."
Irving
Kristol, 1983

"...[T]he United
States
has a fundamental choice to make in confronting rogue states, dictators
developing weapons of mass destruction, and global terrorism: Either we
act aggressively to shape the world
and change regimes where necessary,
or we accept living in a world in which our very existence is
contingent
on the whims of unstable tyrants."
William
Kristol
"America's international role. What should that role be?
Benevolent global hegemony.
Having defeated the "evil empire," the United States enjoys strategic
and ideological predominance. The first objective of U.S. foreign
policy should be to preserve and enhance that predominance by
strengthening America's security, supporting its friends, advancing its
interests, and standing up for its principles around the world."
William
Kristol, "Toward a
Neo-Reaganite Foreign Policy.", 1996 |
"American
power should be used not just in the defense of American interests but
for the promotion of American principles."
William
Kristol
"What
makes us exceptional is that we stand for liberty, and that we are
willing to fight for liberty. We don't need to "prove" we are different
from the jihadists by bringing our own soldiers, if they have done
something wrong, to justice. Of course we must and will do this. But
our doing this "proves" nothing. Even if there were ten Hadithas, we
would still not have to "prove" that we are "different from the
jihadists." The idea would be offensive if it were not ludicrous."
William Kristol,
Haditha Handwringing, 6/12/2006
"That is
permissible, we answer, which really leads to the liberation of
mankind."
Leon Trotsky,
concurring with Kristol's "revolutionary morality."
"Peace comes at the
end of war, and
is the word that describes the
terms imposed by the
winners
on the losers."
Michael Ledeen
"Change
- above all violent change - is the essence of human history."
Michael Ledeen
"Creative
destruction... both within our own society and abroad..(foreigners)
seeing America undo traditional societies may fear us, for they do not
wish to be undone. ... They must attack us in order to survive, just as
we must destroy them to advance our historic mission."
Michael
Ledeen, The
War Against the Terror Masters
"There
are no absolute solutions. It all depends. What is right and what is
wrong depends on what needs to be done and how."
Michael Ledeen, Machiavelli on
Modern Leadership
"(P)eace
increases our peril by making discipline less urgent, encouraging some
of our worst instincts, in depriving us of some of our best leaders."
Michael
Ledeen, Machiavelli on
Modern Leadership
"Dying
for one's country doesn't come naturally. Modern armies, raised from
the populace, must be inspired, motivated, indoctrinated. Religion is
central to the military enterprise, for men are more likely to risk
their lives if they believe they will be rewarded forever after for
serving their country."
Michael Ledeen, (or, judging from
this statement, you could call him Osama bin Ledeen)
"(O)f
course, we can always get lucky.
Stunning events from outside can providentially awaken the (neocon
warmongering) enterprise from its growing torpor, and demonstrate the
need for reversal, as the devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
in 1941 so effectively aroused the U.S. from its soothing dreams of
permanent neutrality."
Michael
Ledeen, 1999 (9/11 was 'lucky' for the neocons!)
"My sincere view
is that the commitment of our forces to this fight (Iraq in 2003) was
done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of
those who have never had to
execute these missions - or bury the
results."
Marine Lt.
General Gregory Newbold (Ret.), former director of operations at the
Pentagon's military joint staff.

"I
will bet
you the best dinner in the gaslight district of San
Diego that military action will not last more than a week. Are you
willing to take that wager?"
Bill
O'Reilly, Fox News, 1/29/2003
"There's
no way. There's absolutely no way. They may bomb for a matter of weeks,
try to soften them up as they did in Afghanistan. But once the United
States and British unleash, it's maybe hours. They're going to fold
like that."
Bill
O'Reilly, Fox News, 2/10/2003
"Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control
over their own people."
Richard Perle
"No stages. This is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of
them out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we will do
Iraq, then we take a look around and see how things stand. That is entirely the wrong way
to go about it ... If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it
entirely, and we don't try to ... piece together clever diplomatic solutions ... but just
wage a total war against these tyrants, I think we will do very well. Our children will
sing great songs about us years from now."
Richard
Perle, policy advisor to G.W. Bush, 2001
"A year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that
is named after President Bush."
Richard Perle, Sept. 22, 2003, conference at the American Enterprise Institute
"Huge mistakes were made, and I want to be very clear on this: They were not made by
neoconservatives, who had almost no voice in what happened, and certainly almost no voice
in what happened after the downfall of the regime in Baghdad. I'm getting damn tired of
being described as an architect of the war..."
Richard Perle, on the debacle in Iraq, Vanity Fair, November 2006
"Death
has a
tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."
(Of)fense
Secretary Don
Rumsfeld
(I guess it's really just a
light-hearted romp in the park, as long as
you're safe in DC. RAB)
"I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today
will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any
longer than that."
Donald Rumsfeld
"It is easier to get into something than to get out of it."
Donald Rumsfeld
"I
don't do quagmires."
Donald Rumsfeld
"I'm
not into this detail stuff. I'm more concepty."
Donald Rumsfeld
"We have two choices: Either we change
the way we live, or we must change the way they live. We choose
the
latter."
Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
(The
'we' he mentions must be the
warmongers
of the American Empire. RAB)
"Democracy
is
untidy.
Freedom is untidy. Liberation is untidy."
Defense
Secretary
Donald
Rumsfeld
"I
think a real test of whether a country is a democracy
is how its treats
its minorities. And actually it's one of the things that impress me
about Turkish history - the way Turkey treats its own minorities."
Paul Wolfowitz
(Neocon
warmonger) in
a July 14, 2002 interview with
Nuri Colakoglu, CNN Turkey
Perhaps Mr. Wolfowitz has
forgotten about the Armenian genocide of 1915-1916. RAB
"I
think all foreigners should stop interfering in
the internal affairs of Iraq. Those who want to come and help are
welcome. Those who come to interfere and destroy are not."
Paul
Wolfowitz, statement made after
the invasion
"We don't start a job that we can't finish... that's the
American way."
Paul
Wolfowitz
"(T)he Right in
America, under neoconservative influence, has become ... (a) lowbrow,
jingoistic frat party."
