Hostile to Liberty
Questioning Authority
“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” -Benjamin Franklin
"Less Government, More Freedom"
“The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men. Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.” -U.S. Supreme Court, 1967
Leaving the People in Ignorance
“The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to the kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.” -Thomas Jefferson
Forbidden Unions
“Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.” -Ronald Reagan
Controlling the Public
“Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” -Edward Bernays, consultant to CBS, GE, Proctor and Gamble
Labor vs. Capital
“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” -Abraham Lincoln, 1861
