Political CLASSICS are at the bottom of this webpage (Burke, Hobbes, Mill, Paine, etc.).
This Politics Page is more about the relation between the State and the Individual,
the interaction between our public and private spheres. On the Ethics Page are a number of articles on theonomy.
Those address the proper extent of Christian participation and control in the community. On the Education Page you'll find John Dewey's influence on western education, and culture. Click here for my personal observations about politics.
Benjamin Franklin: "This government can only end
in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the
people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic
government, being incapable of any other."
Thomas Sowell: "Most causes of the Left [i.e., Marxist utiopianism] can be dismantled with three simple questions:
1. Compared to what? 2. At what cost? 3. What hard evidence do you have?"
Evelyn Beatrice Hall: ‘I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.’
