Derek R. Audette Quotes About Politics

• I do not like to call myself a Liberal, because there is so much that is wrong with liberalism. I also do not like to call my a Conservative for exactly the same reason. The fact that the theater of conservativism today seems to be such a haven for such an abundance of small minded, non-thinking, irrationalists is however making it very difficult for me to not adopt a harder stance.

• Lección número uno para intentar desarrollar la capacidad de pensamiento independiente: Entender que TODO lo que dice el gobierno tiene el potencial de ser mentira y engaño. Puedes creer que es la verdad sólo después de cuestionar, agotar todas las vías, y encontrar que su historia se comprueba. Si eres un patriota, es tu deber cuestionar siempre a tu gobierno, en todo momento. Un patriota es leal a su país y a sus compatriotas, no a su gobierno.

• Never be silent! Make your opinions known, and do not fear retribution for speaking your mind! The only ones who will aggressively try to silence you are the ones who do not respect the liberties and rights of the individual. Those people deserve our contempt, and when you draw them out of the shadows by exercising your civil right to freedom of speech, they will expose themselves for what they truly are.

• My government currently runs things only because the people 'allow' them to run things. It is my responsibility that I do everything I can to keep tabs on my government, keep them honest and make sure that they always act for the good of the people. They must be reminded that they hold no power over the people that the people do not wish for them to hold. If the government begins working in a way that the people don't agree with, they must be made to know that we will rip it to its very foundations and replace it with something that does.

• Demasiada gente cree hoy que se puede combatir el fascismo con el fascismo. Esto, por supuesto, es imposible. Fascismo multiplicado por cualquier otro número siempre es igual a fascismo.

• Hay una gran verdad en la política occidental que he podido comprobar, y es la siguiente: Cuanto más de izquierdas sean tus ideales políticos, más ingenuo serás. Cuanto más de derechas sean tus ideales políticos, más malvado serás. Elegir un punto de vista político es en gran medida una cuestión de decidir con qué fracaso como ser humano te sientes más cómodo.

• En realidad, no me considero ni liberal ni conservador. A decir verdad, me considero "veraz". Intento examinar cada asunto por separado e ir a donde creo que está la verdad. Y, sí, debo admitir que la mayoría de las veces, cuando lo hago, al llegar, me encuentro en compañía de gente de izquierdas. Sin embargo, a menudo me sorprende encontrarme en una sala llena de personas de derechas.

• Fascism is the most inherently evil political ideology that man has ever devised. Wherever we see even the smallest sapling of fascism growing, we should use every just, reasonable and humane method at our disposal to rip-it out by its roots and then salt the very earth wherein it grew, so that no other such thing may ever again take root. Of course, we must also take great care to ensure that during this process, we ourselves do not become fascists in the fight against fascism.
