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

The first requisite of civilization, therefore, is that of justice—that is, the assurance that a law once made will not be broken in favor of an individual.

We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.

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?

The Light can shine in darkness, but the darkness does not comprehend it.

Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

For he will render to every man according to his works: to those . . . who are factious and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness, there will be wrath and fury.

Servitude cannot be complete if the press is free: the press is the chiefest democratic instrument of freedom.

Are you so foolish? Having begun with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?

We shall see hereafter that in America the real strength of the country is vested in the provincial far more than in the federal government.

Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to humanity.

Alongside the wisdom of true conservatism is the danger that the status quo might become corrupt and its corruption self-servingly exploited.

Holy steadfastness is not intolerance.

Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.

Make no mistake about it, however: you age as you drift, just as rapidly as you age as you strive.

One may say [that] the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions.

The greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.

A business which can bring itself to the point where it attracts the attention of money should be able to continue on its own feet without being financed.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

The totalitarian states can do great things, but . . . they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working class flat or laborer’s cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.
