•
What Universities Owe
“As scholars and teachers, caps on, we are responsible for defending a narrow space for stepping back against demands, often issuing from inside the house, to march forth.” ~ Jonathan Marks

Is There Any Chance of Restoring Our Lost Freedom?
“It’s not too late for a pro-liberty counterattack. The authoritarian position has always been weak intellectually and now it’s weak politically. Let’s Roll.” ~ George Leef

James Rosen’s Endlessly Excellent ‘A Torch Kept Lit’

“The challenge that faces us at present is to believe the truth, speak it with a generous spirit, and attempt to persuade others instead of making them our inveterate enemies.” ~ Elizabeth Corey

“Overshadowing the proceedings was the specter of totalitarianism—not just the recently vanquished National Socialist variety but also the Communist version then enveloping Eastern Europe.” ~ Samuel Gregg

The Other Great Debate
“Nowadays it is difficult to pick a ‘side’ between Paine and Adams. Whichever man one’s political persuasions may favor, the country is undoubtedly a heterodox agglomeration of their ideas.” ~ Garion Frankel

“Freedom builds on mankind’s intense yearning for connection. The solution to our fragmented democracy will more likely emerge bottom-up from civil and market society, rather than top-down through politics.” ~ John O. McGinnis
