Democracy and tyranny are not opposites, for they answer two completely different questions: WHO has power … and HOW MUCH power do they have.

America is the only nation in history to have been founded upon an IDEA. A great part of that idea is that my rights require nobody to do anything except leave me alone. The one exception is trial by jury.

Our liberty is a great aberration in the history of human affairs. It is preserved by three boxes — the ballot box, the soap box, and the ammo box.

We are on the soap box already, and have one more chance at the ballot box.
