These quotes don't qualify for my "Quotes" page -- they're not sufficiently inspiring -- but they certainly deserve preserving.

Phone: 970-856-6086. E-mail. Website.How can there possibly be liberty and justice for all, when, in the name of justice, people claim rights to income, food, housing, education, health care, transportation, ad infinitum? . . . Positive rights to receive such things, absent an obligation to earn them, must violate others' liberty, by taking some of their income without their consent. They are really just wishes, convertible into benefits for some only by employing the government to violate others' rights not to have what is theirs taken. -- Professor Gary Galles.

Website.The civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them. -- Black lawyer and activist Mary Frances Berry, who was appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights by Jimmy Carter in 1980. Ronald Reagan fired her for attacking his civil rights policies in 1983, but she sued for reinstatement and retained her job. President Clinton made her chairman of the commission in 1993, and she held that position until the end of last year. Apparently, Ms. Berry is unfamiliar with the concept of equal justice under the law. Perhaps, like so many liberals, she just chooses to ignore that fundamental American principle.
