Light Liberty States

More From Baron De Montesquieu

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.
Real Simple Desire
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

What about your constitutional right to bear arms, you say. i would simply point out that you don’t have to exercise a constitutional right just because you have it. you have the constitutional right to run for president of the united states, but most people have too much sense to insist on exercising it.

People can say what they want, but historically, feminism in the dominican republic has been extremely strong. i guess the best way of saying it is that no one could have survived what we survived - whether it was first extermination and slavery, then abandonment and erasure, then the series of gunboat two-bit dictatorships, followed by the final apotheosis of dictatorships, the trujillato. you couldn't survive it without the resistance of this kind of woman.

In latin america, in the past, it was almost impossible to guarantee democracy. there were military dictatorships, and nowadays there are not so many military dictatorships. although we have a dictator in honduras, as a result of a coup, now as a president, he is almost the only one i would say. but again led or managed, gestated by the u.s. government.

As a military man who has given half a century of active service i say in all sincerity that the nuclear arms race has no military purpose. wars cannot be fought with nuclear weapons. their existence only adds to our perils because of the illusions they have generated. there are powerful voices around the world who still give credence to the old roman precept - if you desire peace, prepare for war. this is absolute nuclear nonsense.

It is a long-cherished tradition among a certain type of military thinker that huge casualties are the main thing. if they are on the other side then this is a valuable bonus.
