[I]t appears to me, that no human policy, or law, can be obligatory on rational creatures, that infringes the rights of conscience, or violates the laws of God. —David Barrow, Slavery, Examined

What are all the laws of England and America, or even the laws of the Medes and Persians, when they are not founded in reason and justice, and are contradictory to the grand charter given to the human race by the God of the universe? — David Barrow, Slavery, Examined

What kind of mindless cretins would blind themselves to the gift of science? How else would a Creator reveal himself but through his creation? And to deny the [order] of that creation is to deny the [existence] of God. —Larry, Numb3rs, "Atomic No 33"

"[The 10th Regiment So. CA. Volunteers] were true patriots, who, at the call of their State, in defence of her liberty, went forth to risk all - comfort, property, life, in response to the highest feeling of public duty. Taught from their cradles to give allegiance first to South Carolina, they lived, fought, and died devoted sons of hers, and like their forefathers of 1776, gloried in the name Rebel, when in rebellion against oppression and tyranny; when Rebels in defence of the dearest rights of freemen." - C.I. Walker, Rolls and Historical Sketch of the Tenth Regiment pg. 77

This interchange between Gov. Rick Perry and Wesley Strackbein concerning the TSA anti-groping bill took place on June 18 at the Republican Leadership Committee meeting in New Orleans during a public signing of Gov. Perry's book, Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington. Gov. Perry's tack that there is "not enough time left" in the special session for the TSA legislation is a complete abdication of responsibility on his part, as the bills put forward in the special session and the length of the session itself are his sole prerogative to determine. All he has to do is give the green light, and the TSA bill will come to the floor for a vote. Instead, Gov. Perry has chosen to sit idly by as TSA agents are daily accosting innocent men, woman, and children in airports across the Lone Star State.

It is not enough to be fed up. We must act.
—Governor Perry, Fed Up

Will the real Rick Perry stand up?

Call Gov. Rick Perry's office and urge him to bring the TSA bill to the floor of the special session. (512) 463-2000

"I conceive justice to be a principle that is founded on reason, equity or right, and these may be known by their correspondence with the written law of God, the supreme governor of the universe." - David Barrow, Slavery Examined pg. 13 (emphasis authors)

"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and to form one that suits them better. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may make their own of such territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority intermingling with or near them who oppose their movement." - Abraham Lincolnon the floor of Congress, 13 January 1848 *Congressional Globe, Appendix 1st Session 30th Congress, page 94

An acquaintance with what is true and useful, and with the mode of introducing it to the minds of others, is of vastly more importance to a preacher, teacher, or lecturer, than a knowledge of all the rrors, prejudices, superstitions, and abominatinos, with which the minds of his hearers may have been filled. — Hiram Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-One Years, pg. 527

I have often been asked what kind of preaching do the Hawaiian people require and what method of presenting the truth do the missionaries find the best adopted to their minds?

They need to have the same doctrines and duties presented, and much the same arguments and considerations urged, and in much the same form and style, as other sinners in any part of the world. — Hiram Bingham, A Residence of Twenty-One Years, pg. 524

[T]he deterioration of the christian family, whereby christian parents are failing to proactively pass down a godly heritage to their children, is the root cause to [the secularization of modern society] we are seeing . . . today. — Emeal Zwayne, "God of the Generations"
