Crime Archives - Page 2 of 24 - 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

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

In a free market, the money of ordinary people is just as good as the money of the rich—and in the aggregate, there is often more of it.

The people have spoken, and the politicians must learn to answer or understand. They will be made to understand that they are the servants of the rank and file of the plain citizens of the republic.

A sword by itself does not slay; it is merely the weapon used by the slayer.

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

There can never be a contradiction between faith and science because both originate in God. It is God who gives us both the light of reason and of faith.

Justice makes the wrongdoer see the injustice in the violation of a law; mercy makes him see it in the sufferings and misery he caused those who love him deeply.

It’s disingenuous to call something a ‘right’ if you simultaneously demand that people take advantage of their ‘right’ whether they want to or not. That’s not a right, it’s a command. Republics have rights; tyrants have commands.

The problem is not repenting of our sins, not being ashamed of what we have done.

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

He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him.

Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty?

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

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.

Simplicity is the sign of truth.

Don’t just do something. Stand there.

If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions.

We reason deeply, when we forcibly feel.

Don’t let your life be sterile. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the light of your faith and of your love.

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