General Curtis E. LeMay Quote
I submit that it is politically immoral to use less force than is necessary to achieve a military objective when adequate force is available. It is immoral because more of our young men are killed or wounded or submitted to a cruel captivity that would have been necessary if more than enough force were used. Also, in a protracted struggle our total losses are greatly increased over the losses sustained in a quick, decisive war.

This site is dedicated to the idea that once was the United States. That idea was a land dedicated to freedom from government interventionism, a land that distrusted the inherent evils of a strong central government, a land of freedom. Now the United States is a land of security and rampant government interventionism.
As Henry Grady Weaver wrote in THE MAINSPRING OF HUMAN PROGRESS:
"Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own....THE HARM DONE BY ORDINARY CRIMINALS, MURDERERS, GANGSTERS, AND THIEVES IS NEGLIGIBLE IN COMPARISON WITH THE AGONY INFLICTED UPON HUMAN BEINGS BY THE PROFESSIONAL 'DO-GOODERS', who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means." (p. 40-1; P.P.N.S., p. 313)
