Government agencies and officials have legitimate authority only within the bounds granted by the law (that is, the customary legal order), and the law has authority only within the bounds of the natural law (which is the law of God). Therefore, people may have to disobey or resist government action for the sake of honoring a higher authority, the law, and may have to disobey or resist the law for the sake of honoring a still higher authority, God’s natural law.

- David VanDrunen, Politics After Christendom, p. 352.

Freedom dies by people just taking a little bit more and a little bit more… we just end up in a situation people are like ‘How the fuck did we end up here?’ And at some point down the line you have to practice civil disobedience and say: ‘No, I will not fucking comply.’

- Matt Odell

Freedom is indivisible. As soon as one starts to restrict it, one enters upon a decline on which it is difficult to stop.

A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices.

The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Self-defense is Nature's oldest law.

- John Dryden
