Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.

Quotes

A moderately bad man knows he is not very good; a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right.

If Men are so wicked as we now see them with Religion what would they be if without it?

Artists must be contending with something they do not understand, or they are not artists.

Neither can Creation be fully grasped by physics, since scientists cannot go outside the cosmos to measure it. It is akin to a child trying to prove a final theory of how his house works when he is incapable of toddling outside its doors.

Why can’t somebody give us a list of things that everybody thinks and nobody says, and another list of things that everybody says and nobody thinks?

Digitalization dehumanizes a conversation. This usually happens in a hidden, insidious way, but sometimes it can also be felt very sharply.

I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.

Throughout the history of anti-trust prosecutions, there has been an unresolved confusion between what is detrimental to competition and what is detrimental to competitors.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence.

Said he, ‘We never fight the people we trade with.’ I thought to myself, ‘Well, we certainly had to fight Japan in spite of all the oil and scrap iron we sold her just before World War II.’ It did not seem possible that this famous international banker would have forgotten such an elementary lesson so quickly.

When they hear the words of God on our lips, unbelievers are amazed at their beauty and power, but when they see that those words have no effect in our lives, their admiration turns to scorn, and they dismiss such words as myths and fairy tales.

For the revolution is never stronger than the failure of civilization. Communism is never stronger than the failure of other faiths.

Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

And I feel one thing I want to share with you all, the greatest destroyer of peace today is the cry of the innocent unborn child.

The surface of American society is, if I may use the expression, covered with a layer of democracy, from beneath which the old aristocratic colors sometimes peep.

It’s all well and good to say that reality exists only in one’s mind, but those who believe it should still look both ways before crossing the street.

Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Are we so much better than the people of other ages and of other countries, that the same allurements of power and greatness, which led them aside from their duty, will have no influence upon men in our country?

As a nation, our first duty must be those who are already our inhabitants, whether native or immigrants.

No honest man becomes rich overnight; he has to wait for the reward of his labors.
