To increase aid to the Pakistan government when religious freedom is not upheld is tantamount to an anti-Christian foreign policy. Keith O'Brien
We should insist that governments receiving American aid live up to standards of accountability and transparency, and we should support countries that embrace market reforms, democracy, and the rule of law. Lee H. Hamilton

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government. James Madison

When a machine begins to run without human aid, it is time to scrap it - whether it be a factory or a government. Alexander Chase
