Favourite Quotes:
“If all of mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” – J.S.Mill.
“There will always be some independent thinkers, established guardians of the great masses, who, after throwing off the yoke of tutelage from their shoulders, will disseminate the spirit of the rational appreciation of both their own worth and every man’s vocation of thinking for himself.” -Immanuel Kant
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” – John Adams.
“Taxation beyond the legitimate requirements of providing for justice is theft.” – Grover Norquist.
“At the heart of Conservatism is the belief that, since man is born free, laws can only make him less so. “Human rights” legislation, for example, can only impose obligations.” – Norman Tebbit
“I have heard people who grew up in former Communist countries say that we, in the West, are as brainwashed by Multiculturalism and Political Correctness as they ever were with Communism. But how is that possible? We have free speech? We have no Gulag. The simple fact is we never won the Cold War as decisively as we should have. Yes, the Berlin Wall fell, and the Soviet Union collapsed. This removed the military threat to the West. Hardcore Marxism suffered a blow as a credible alternative. However, one of the big mistakes was to declare that socialism was dead. Yet, we are, a generation later, discovering that Marxist rhetoric and thinking has penetrated every single stratum of our society from Universities to the media.
The left have become ideological mercenaries after the cold war. Although viable economic alternative to capitalism did not work out, their hatred for this system never subsided. Multiculturalism is just a different word for ‘divide and conquer,’ pitting various ethnic and cultural groups against each other and destroying the coherence of Western Society from within. In the supposedly free West, we are taking part in a gigantic social experiment of Multiculturalism and Muslim immigration every bit as radical, Utopian and potentially dangerous as Communism, seeking to transform our entire society from top to bottom.” – Fjordman
