Albert Einstein quotes: Was Albert Einstein a libertarian?
albert-einstein-liberty
Read these Einstein quotes and ask yourself - which political party would Mr. Einstein be affiliated with in the 21st century? It’s apparent that he despised war and evil.
Government
“Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”
How many lies can we catch our current administration in? How many lies did Democrats give to get elected? Republicans? It’s apparent our whole voting system is one big fat lie.
“Force always attracts men of low morality.”
“In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.”
“Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.”
“Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.”
“The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.”
“The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.”
“The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.”
“Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.”
WAR
“Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism – how passionately I hate them!”
“It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
“You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.”
Problem solving
“All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.”
“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.”
“It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.”
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
That is my favorite Albert Einstein quote of all time because we OBVIOUSLY, at least in government, try to fix the problem by causing more of the same…. bailouts, Medicare, endless war, nation building… the list just keeps going and going. Debt. Debt. And more Debt.
It’s too bad Mr. Einstein isn’t around today. He and Presidential candidate Ron Paul would have wonderful ideas to discuss!

Airport Security Scanners - 2 reasons the USA Founding Fathers would SPIT on the idea…
So there’s all this hype running around about AIRPORT SECURITY SCANNERS right now. People all over America are talking about how disruptive they are and how repulsive they are to your individual liberties. Then a media propaganda machine like James Carville goes on air and says, “Let me buy a [security] card, then go and measure my penis, and let me get on the airplane.” REPULSIVE.
Here are 5 simple reason the United States Founding Fathers would SPIT on the idea of Airport Security Scanners:
#1 - Ever heard of the 4th amendment?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
#2 - Association of Asia Pacific Airlines says it best:
“Treating each of the six million passengers who fly every day as potential terrorists and subjecting them to virtual strip searches . . . borders on the absurd, particularly when compared to our approach to public security in other aspects of our daily lives,” AAPA said. “Doing so comes at a cost, already measured in tens of billions of dollars annually.
“While new screening technologies are constantly under evaluation, including full-body scanners and automatic explosive detection systems, there is insufficient evidence regarding their effectiveness to justify their immediate deployment, not to mention unresolved health and privacy issues.”
Another observer says, “But, what can you do? Americans and Canadians are nice people and they will do anything because they were told to do so and because they don’t know any different.” - Rafi Sela, the president of AR Challenges, a global transportation security consultancy.
It’d be nice to see American’s stop giving up their civil liberties.
