"I am not an African-American. I am a Black American!"

"To get their way, the elites must erode or dismantle the Constitution, bit by bit, in one way or another. What that means is that they must dismantle America. This has been going on piecemeal over the years but now we have an administration in Washington that circumvents the Constitution wholesale, with its laws passed so fast that the public cannot know what is in them, its appointment of "czars" wielding greater power than Cabinet members, without having to be exposed to pubic scrutiny by going through the confirmation process prescribed by the Constitution for Cabinet members."

--- Dr. Thomas Sowell, from Dismantling America, August 17, 2010

"State efforts, such as Oklahoma's, create a glimmer of hope that one day Americans and their elected representatives will realize that the federal government is the creation of the states. A bit of rebellion by officials in other states will speed that process along."

-- Walter E. Williams, professor of Economics at George Mason University

"Why would anyone want to own a business in America today? The owner pays for the employee's unemployment insurance, but isn’t covered by it. The owner pays half the social security and medicare taxes of his employees, but gets the same benefit as the people he shares that tax with. The employer pays for health insurance or gets hit with a fine for being cruel and inhumane. The employer must hire the book keeper and accountant to take employee's taxes out and get them to the correct place on time, or the employer goes to jail. The employer must meet all OSHA rules, no matter how stupid, or he is fined. The employer must meet EEOC rules which change every other day as we find another group of “discriminated against persons”. Last time I looked, they were debating whether left handed, one eyed, hair-lipped, Eskimos whose last name ended in -ick were a protected group.

Judea Pearl, father of Daniel Pearl, writing in the Jerusalem Post: "Public objection to the mosque thus represents a vote of no confidence in mainstream American Muslim leadership which, on the one hand, refuses to acknowledge the alarming dimension that anti-Americanism has taken in their community and, paradoxically, blames America for its creation. The American Muslim leadership has had nine years to build up trust by taking proactive steps against the spread of anti-American terror-breeding ideologies, here and abroad. Evidently, however, a sizable segment of the American public is not convinced that this leadership is doing an effective job of confidence building. In public, Muslim spokespersons praise America as the best country for Muslims to live and practice their faith. But in sermons, speeches, rallies, classrooms, conferences and books sold at those conferences, the narrative is often different. There, Noam Chomsky's conspiracy theory is the dominant paradigm, and America's foreign policy is one long chain of 'crimes' against humanity, especially against Muslims."
