WE hold these Truths to be self- evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness -The Declaration of Independence He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance. -The Declaration of Independence "Families ARE the GENERAL INTEREST GROUP all the "special interest groups" want to knock chunks out of". -Leonard Henderson |

not require many words to speak the truth."-- Chief
Joseph (1840-1904) Chief of the Wal-lam- wat-kain (Wallowa) band of
Nez Perce Indians
"There is no system ever devised by mankind that is guaranteed to rip husband and wife or father, mother and child apart so bitterly than our present Family Court System."- Judge Brian Lindsay Retired Supreme Court Judge, New York, New York "There is something bad happening to our children in family courts today that is causing them more harm than drugs, more harm than crime and even more harm than child molestation." Judge Watson L. White Superior Court Judge, Cobb County, Georgia "No cases challenge a lawyer more than those alleging child abuse - and very few have higher stakes."-David S Marshall "Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows." - David T. Wolf "Wrong is wrong even if every one says it's right. Right is right even if every one else says it's wrong" -Hugh Beaumont "THE MORE LAWS THE LESS JUSTICE" - German Proverb "WHEN THE STATE IS MOST CORRUPT, THE LAWS ARE MOST MULTIPLIED" - TACITUS "THE HARSHEST TYRANNY is that which acts under the protection of legality and the banner of Justice" -Baron De Montesquieu "There are only two places where Socialism works-- one is a beehive and the other an ant hill" -Ian Stewart Richardson "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy- bodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), British novelist "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -Martin Luther King, Jr. What's the Difference between CPS and the Gestapo? When the Gestapo sent people to the concentration camp, they kept families together .-Robert T. McQuaid "We don't believe children are just mouths to feed. They are hearts, minds, and souls for our future. And they deserve our protection not only after their birth, but before they are born." -Jack Kemp "To refuse them would be fatal for all of us, and joining them would be unthinkable." -Captain von Trapp Many bad policies are simply good policies taken too far. -Thomas Sowell Quite often the social doctors become part of the disease. -Eric Hoffer Policies are judged by their consequences, but crusades are judged by how good they make the crusaders feel. -Thomas Sowell "Add a few drops of malice to a half truth and you have an absolute truth." -Eric Hoffer "Mystical references to "society" and its programs to "help" may warm the hearts of the gullible but what it really means is putting more power in the hands of bureaucrats." -Thomas Sowell It is a governing principle of nature, that the agency which can produce most good, when perverted from its proper aim, is most productive of evil. It behooves the well-intentioned, therefore, vigorously to watch the tendency of even their most highly prized institutions, since that which was established in the interests of the right, may so easily become the agent of the wrong. -James Fenimore Cooper Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion. -William Godwin The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society. -Thomas Jefferson Absolute power corrupts even when exercised for humane purposes. The benevolent despot who sees himself as a shepherd of the people still demands from others the submissiveness of sheep. -Eric Hoffer "You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered; but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered." -Lyndon B. Johnson See Twenty Years of CAPTA "Government can't solve the problem. Government is the problem." --Ronald Reagan "For every social problem A caused by government program X, problem A can be solved by abolishing program X. The principle can be applied at all levels of government --federal, state and municipal. The possibilities are intriguing and should appeal to partisans of all political persuasions." -William J. Stepp "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." -Ronald Reagan "The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians." - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) First Prime Minister of England Source: Lothair, XVII, 1870 "Russell Kirk with sufficient documentation reveals the dream N.E.A. has...to imitate the collectivist schools of Eastern Europe; to take over functions now traditionally believed to belong to the family...The schools 'will become part of a comprehensive human services system which fulfills many of the functions traditionally assumed by the family.'" --Ronald Reagan It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.-H. L. Mencken “The government solution to any problem is usually at least as bad as the problem.” -Milton Friedman A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. -Will Durant "Multiculturalism and coercive tolerance of bizarre lifestyles describes a social experiment, not a civilization." -Paul Gottfried More than anything, civilization depends on continence. Imagine the floor of wherever we are- covered with urine and feces like a diary loafing shed. Animals just let it drop wherever they are. For humans who are incontinent, there's adult diapers, and for men- condoms Those who excuse indiscretions as "I am only human"-are trying not to say "I am only an animal". -Leonard Henderson The real abuse and neglect of America's children comes from the government prohibition of punishment for bad behavior. Spanking is a high offense in our urine-soaked politically correct social-experiment society. I have even heard of "excessive time outs" alleged as abuse. Left with no suitable tools to deal with bad behavior and rebellion, parents have to resign to letting the kids raise themselves in the pop culture of his peers. Parents can only dread the day the kid finally lands the family in the distorted fishbowl of the family court system.Parents have no help, allies or friends, only institutionalized wolves. Such a kid has almost no chance to grow up to be anything but a non- productive narcissistic thug and incompetent consumer of government programs. Isn't that ABUSE? -Leonard Henderson Isaiah 3 4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable. 12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress, and Assemblies, Judges, and Governors, shall all become wolves. - Thomas Jefferson (letter to Edward Carrington, 16 January 1787) "God declared dead and in His place, 50,000 caseworkers arose!" -Drs.
