Quantitative easing is just the latest chapter in the Federal Reserve’s hundred-year history of failure. (...) The American people have suffered long enough under a monetary policy controlled by an unaccountable, secretive central bank. It is time to finally audit - and then end - the Fed.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
We have depended on government for so much for so long that we as people have become less vigilant of our liberties. As long as the government provides largesse for the majority, the special interest lobbyists will succeed in continuing the redistribution of welfare programs that occupies most of Congress's legislative time.
America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
The most basic principle to being a free American is the notion that we as individuals are responsible for our own lives and decisions. We do not have the right to rob our neighbors to make up for our mistakes, neither does our neighbor have any right to tell us how to live, so long as we aren’t infringing on their rights. Freedom to make bad decisions is inherent in the freedom to make good ones. If we are only free to make good decisions, we are not really free.
We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.
I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did. My goal has always been to change people's minds because as long as people demand more government, they will get it.
As long as we live beyond our means, we are destined to live beneath our means.
They've got to make a decision. They've got to ramp it up and start opening at a faster pace, sell it back to the original owners or make a public offering. I think all things are being considered.
They basically have developed almost a cult-like following. I think it's partly as a result of their emphasis on higher-quality ingredients.
They broke the mold when they decided to do music. If bookstores have coffee, then why can't a coffee store sell books and movies?
We are, of course, proud of the many accomplishments we have achieved over the past 40 years. That said, I am even more excited about our plans for the future.
Think of what happened after 9/11, the minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.
As chains go, it's doing very well, and investors are reacting to it.
