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

Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Sex is for babies as well as for love. That’s a ‘Duh!’ to every culture but our own.

A person who denies even one article of our faith could not be a Catholic; for truth is one and we must accept it whole and entire or not at all.

Have nothing to do with stupid, senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

Nothing would be done at all, if a man waited till he could do it so well, that no one could find fault with it.

You’ve got to be optimist to be a Democrat, and you’ve got to be a humorist to stay one.

In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly.

The great masquerade of evil has played havoc with all our ethical concepts. For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity[,] or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on out traditional ethical concepts, while for the Christian who bases his life on the Bible, it merely confirms the fundamental wickedness of evil.

With the return of school I’ve gotten back into my stressed-out cycle. In this cycle I go back and forth between ‘OH MY GOD I HAVE A MILLION THINGS TO DO!’ and ‘Ah, screw it.’

Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

No Reformer believed in private interpretation of Scripture, but they had no clear way to discern whose interpretation was the correct one. [They] quickly discovered that casting off Rome’s authority solved one problem but created another.

Be not intimidated . . . nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardice.

The element of truth behind all this, which people are so ready to disavow, is that men are not gentle creatures who want to be loved . . . ; they are, on the contrary, creatures among whose instinctual endowments is to be reckoned a powerful share of aggressiveness.

If you think too much about being re-elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.

Economic policies need to be analyzed in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the hopes that inspired them.

For my own part, I doubt whether man can ever support at the same time complete religious independence and entire public freedom. And I am inclined to think, that if faith be wanting in him, he must serve; and if he be free, he must believe.

No man can have a peaceful life who thinks too much about lengthening it.

One can shuffle inanimate objects around; one can compel individuals to be at certain places at certain times; but one can hardly compel individuals to put forward their best efforts.
