In the below monologue, by Judge Andrew Napolitano, he makes a brilliant case against non-defensive, and unnecessary wars. And, how war equals the growth of Central Governments, and the death of Personal Liberty:
”War is the death of freedom because war is the health of Big Government.”
- Judge Andrew Napolitano

And, here is the text to the above (video) monologue.
“America is the greatest country ever. We had the greatest [U.S. Constitution] document, we’ve had the most amount of freedom and the most amount of prosperity. We have a lot of goodness, but you can’t spread goodness with force. So, we cancel out all our goodness when we go around telling people that they either do it our way or we’ll bomb you; if you do it our way, we’ll give you money. That is not what made America great. America is great because we have a great institution and great traditions. We believe in freedom… but we’ve lost our way.”
- Congressman Ron Paul
“The chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make any form of paper money legal tender. The present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the promise should be kept.”
- James Garfield (Inaugural Address - 1881)
