Rights Quotes by James Bovard

James Bovard

A democratic government that respects no limits on its power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect.

Americans’ liberty is perishing beneath the constant growth of government power. Federal, state and local government’s are confiscating citizens’ property, trampling their rights, and decimating their opportunities more than ever before…. American liberty can still be rescued from the encroachments of government. The first step to saving our liberty is to realize how much we have already lost, how we lost it, and how we will continue to lose unless fundamental political changes occur.

Gun laws are an attempt to nationalize the right of self-defense. Politicians perennially react to the police’s abject failure to prevent crime by trying to disarm law-abiding citizens. The worse government fails to control crime, the more the politicians want to restrict individuals’ rights to defend themselves. But police protection in most places is typical government work – slow, inefficient, and unreliable.

It is unfortunate that Americans are no longer aware of what the constitution says and what their rights are. Because of that, we are often very passive about what happens when the government violates those rights.

Some of the folks on both sides might be sincere, but it does seem as if it is only the opposition that cares about the Bill of Rights most of the time.

Some politicians are aware of the Bill of Rights. It seems that the opposition party is far more likely to invoke it, to wave it in the air, this is what we saw from a lot of republicans during the Clinton Administration, and we are seeing the same from Democrats under Bush.

The more that voting is glorified as a panacea, the more lackadaisical people become about preserving their constitutional rights.
