On Virtue & the Republic
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. — Edwin Meese III
On Political Pessimism
Defeatist cynicism is an arrogance that we too know an outcome – we do not. Our Creator expects us to fight for good until He ends the game, not us. — Robert W. Pratt
On Liberty
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. — Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Stuart
On Right
The fool is disturbed not when they tell him that his ideas are false, but when they suggest that they have gone out of style. — Nicolás Gómez Dávila
On Political Correctness
Political correctness never rears its ugly head independently. It always shows up as a series of actions designed, to this observer, to crush the souls of those blessed with common sense. — Milo Yiannopoulos
On pessimism and difficulty
When you encounter difficulties, you need to be optimistic. The pessimists tend to die. — Zhou Youguang
On American Liberals
Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. — William F. Buckley, Jr.
On Universities
Universities have become a place to provide economic and political protection for those who hold economically and politically unworkable ideas. — Robert W. Pratt
On Rush Limbaugh
William F. Buckley is the esteemed father of the American conservative movement and gave it meaning; Ronald Reagan took conservatism to the public, showed it worked, and made it popular; Rush Limbaugh is the man who embedded political conservatism into our culture. — Robert W. Pratt
On Mistakes in Politics
Politics, as opposed to science, does not reward the correction of mistakes, given that correcting a mistake also entails admitting to having made one. Worse, the bigger the mistake, the greater the political urgency of defending it at all costs. — Lionel Shriver
On Rights and Freedoms
When we think of our rights and freedoms as rewards for good behavior, we lose. — Meghan Murphy
On Republican Moderates
Republican “moderates” rarely fight hard for anything, except for other Republicans giving up their principles. — Robert W. Pratt
On Judging Public Policy
Judge public policies by their results, not their intentions. – Milton Friedman
“Working with” Texas Democrats different than empowering them
