"In reaction to the people who go to big televised gatherings (sporting events, etc.) and hold up signs that say John 3:16, I've always wanted Colbert Nation members to go and hold up Acts 6:8 signs."
In case you were wondering, Acts 6:8 reads:
"And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people."
"How do you chose between believing in Jesus, Bigfoot, leprechauns, witchcraft, Islam, alien abductions the Tooth Fairy, gold at the end of the rainbow or the [of] myriad other assertions that people have made over the course of human history? [Faith is] like rolling the dice and hoping you have placed your faith in a true proposition... However, if you are still inclined to place faith in an un-provable assertion, I am God, send me money." - Wayne Adkins

There's a similar quote on YouTube, but this is the version he said when I saw him live, and in my opinion, it's much better:
"I just want a woman who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don't know, and make me laugh. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something there."

1791 Dec. 23. "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." (to Archibald Stuart, B.22.436)
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on
this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
states, are preserved to the states or to the people.'
... To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially
drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession
of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any
definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed
by this bill (chartering the first Bank of the United States),
have not, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution."
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson
Letters on Liberty and Power
There should be no doubt, either, that Jefferson believed that government was the greatest, if not only, threat to individual liberty. He wrote that "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.1 This is so because those who gain positions of power tend always to extend the bounds of it. Power must always be constrained or limited else it will increase to the level that it will be despotic. Jefferson wrote to Judge Spencer Roane in 1819, "It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent, is absolute also ...."2 With this principle of necessary limitation in mind, Jefferson declared "that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest upon inference."3

3. Irwin, p. 40.
(Jefferson] wrote in a letter in 1820: "You [William C. Jarvis] seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions, a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy . . . The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that, to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party its members would become despots."4
4. Dumbauld, p. 153.
"At the establishment of our constitution," Jefferson wrote, "the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions . . . become law by precedent, sapping by little and little the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction .... In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account. "5
5. Thomas Jefferson, "The Constitution-Endangered by the Federal Judiciary," Foundations of Liberty, James R. Patrick, ed., vol. 1 (1988), p. 27.
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
We must make our election between economy and liberty
or profusion and servitude.
If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and
in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and
our amusements, for our calling and our creeds...
[we will] have no time to think,
no means of calling our miss-managers to account
but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves
to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers...
And this is the tendency of all human governments.
A departure from principle in one instance
becomes a precedent for [another ]...
till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery...
And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt.
Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."

James Bovard quotes:
The first step in saving our liberty is to realize how much we have already lost, how we lost it, and how we will continue to lose it unless fundamental political changes occur.
James Bovard quotes:
Subsidies entail politicians’ taking the citizen’s paycheck and then using it to buy his submission.
James Bovard quotes:
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
James Bovard quotes:
As we learned from the Clinton administration and much of the media, a machine gun in the hands of a federal agent is now a symbol of benevolence and concern for a child's well-being.

Gun Control: Belief that violent predators willing to ignore laws against robbery, kidnapping, rape, and murder will obey a law telling them that they cannot do so with a gun.
It requires twenty years for a man to rise from the vegetable state in which he is within his mother's womb, and from the pure animal state which is the lot of his early childhood, to the state when the maturity of reason begins to appear. It has required thirty centuries to learn a little about his structure. It would need eternity to learn something about his soul. It takes an instant to kill him.
The universe doesn't care what you believe. The wonderful thing about science is it doesn't ask for your faith, it just asks for your eyes.
