responsibility freedom-and-responsibility interconnected
Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.
responsibility self-reliance individual
A secure individual...knows that the responsibility for anything concerning his life remains with himself-and he accepts that responsibility.
responsibility government issues
The American heritage was one of individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from government ... Unfortunately ... that heritage has been lost. Americans no longer have the freedom to direct their own lives ... Today, it is the government that is free - free to do whatever it wants. There is no subject, no issue, no matter ... that is not subject to legislation.
sorry responsibility government
The bad consequences of a government program usually don't show up immediately. And the delay may be long enough to hide the connection between the program and its results. So government never has to say it's sorry - never has to take responsibility for ht misery it causes. Instead it can blame everything on personal greed, profit-hungry corporations, and the 'private sector.' And the government's cure for the problems is to impose bigger programs, more regulation and higher taxes.
hurt responsibility gun
The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

When those things get to burning, it's hard to get them out.
best control government life since
Since no one but you can know what's best for you, government control can't make your life better.
You are where you are today because you have chosen to be there.
cancer rain loss
From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us.
government liberty littles
A little government involvement is just as dangerous as a lot - because the first leads inevitably to the second.
constitution written
