Business Archives - Page 2 of 32 - Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

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

We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

Let us discard all these things, and unite as one people throughout this land, until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created equal.

Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.

Just as pragmatism is unpragmatic and empiricism is not empirical, rationalism is irrational. You can’t prove that truth is only what can be proved.

There is . . . a close bond and necessary relation between . . . freedom and productive industry. This proposition is generally true of all nations, but especially of democratic nations.

What’s weird about modern western society is millions of people pretend to not understand basic truths, because it has been implicitly accepted that ‘political correctness’ is more important than truth.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The spiritual reading of a text must start with its literal sense. Otherwise we can easily make the text say what we think is convenient, useful for confirming us in our previous decisions, suited to our own patterns of thought.

I am unacquainted with [the Creator’s] designs, but I shall not cease to believe in them because I cannot fathom them, and I had rather mistrust my own capacity than His justice.

The fact that I want to fly to Albuquerque does not constitute probable cause for an invasive search.

But these two dramas—becoming a Christian and becoming a Catholic—are two steps in the same process and in the same direction, like being born and growing up.

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

Hypocrisy is a universal phenomenon. It ends with death, but not before.

If the Constitution, intelligently and reasonably construed, stands in the way of desirable legislation, the blame must rest upon that instrument, and not upon the court for enforcing it according to its terms. The remedy in that situation—and the only true remedy—is to amend the Constitution.

Since at least the mid second century until the present time, Christians have made predictions regarding Jesus’s second coming and the end of the world. The one thing they all have in common is they are all incorrect. . . .

The basic requirement for the understanding of the politics of change is to recognize the world as it is. We must work with it on its terms if we are to change it to the kind of world we would like it to be.

Judicial power is never exericised for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the Judge; always for the purpose of giving effect to the will of the Legislature; or, in other words, to the will of the law.

For creation without the Creator fades into nothingness.

Holiness is not a luxury of the few, it is a simple duty for each one of us. . . .
