“Back in the day, brigands and highwaymen would take your purse by waving a cutlass under your nose, and a modern mugger might use a Glock, about which the prophet Isaiah says nothing. This should not leave us scratching our heads about the lawfulness of armed robbery.”
Ah, the Meetings
Everything Is Connected
“Our information about that has to come from men whose minds have been steeped in Scripture, but who also have learned what constitutes a valid argument from Aristotle, who have learned how pins are made from Adam Smith, who have realized through natural revelation that the law of supply and demand cannot be repealed by Congress any more than the law of gravity can be, and who have studied the history of theology and economics.”
The Foundation of LIberty
“A people who are enslaved to their lusts will never be the kind of people who successfully throw off tyrants. We have been offered a series of bribes—free love, porn, drunkenness, government handouts, and other forms of lotus-eating—and these are the bribes that make us content with the dimensions of our prison cell.”

None of my beard hairs were harmed in the making of this thing, which was naturally a concern of yours, and we thought it got the message across …
Reformation Can Be Difficult
“We do not have the option of sailing to a new world and starting over. We cannot move out of this dilapidated house in order to go build a new one. No, it must be a remodel project. The house is run down, and so we must fix it up. Not only so, but we have to do this while the house is also on fire.
