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.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out . . . are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love.

America is now free. She now enjoys a greater portion of political liberty than any other country under heaven. How long she may continue so depends entirely upon her own caution and wisdom.

Experience [is] the name men give to their mistakes.

When I hear somebody sigh that ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’

Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Reason alone is sufficient to recognize the inviolable value of each single human life. . . .

We are never so inescapably ourselves as when we are alone with God.

All things would tend towards nothing, unless the hand of the Almighty preserved them.
