Cars Archives - Page 4 of 21 - 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

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.

Behind many contemporary affirmations of the freedom of love is a false rationalization, for although love involves freedom, not all freedom involves love.

Whoever hates reproof walks in the steps of the sinner, but he that fears the Lord will repent in his heart.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Yet there is no greater freedom than that of allowing oneself to be guided by the Holy Spirit, renouncing the attempt to plan and control everything to the last detail, and instead letting him enlighten, guide, and direct us, leading us wherever he wills.

The essential prerequisite for building an expert system is to have an expert.

Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.

Even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as an honest man can be tortured into telling a lie.

Coexistence [with communism] is a contradiction of terms because it means trying to coexist with world conquest, which is impossible. One must resist or be conquered.

He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.

Wheresoever the bishop appears, there let the people be, even as wheresoever Christ Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.

For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If any one will not work, let him not eat.

Besides being complicated, reality, in my experience, is usually odd. It is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect.

A tax, in the general understanding of the term, and as used in the Constitution, signifies an exaction for the support of the Government. The word has never been thought to connote the expropriation of money from one group for the benefit of another.

Treat bad men exactly as if they were insane.

The health and order of society depend on the rearing of healthy, happy, and well-integrated children. That is why law, though it may take no notice of ordinary friendships, should recognize and support marriages.

There are always values that some people think worthy enough that other people should have to pay for them—but not worthy enough that they should have to pay for them themselves.

When children come to school knowing that their parents have high expectations, it makes everything a teacher is trying to do easier and more effective. Self-esteem is important, but it is not an entitlement. It has to be earned.

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his ways.

For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.
