Default A few quotes to think about today...

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

"The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure."

"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."


- George Washington

A few more:

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
-Thomas Jefferson


I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

-Ayn Rand

Its hard for to look at Washington and Jefferson as a source of inspiration when they both owned slaves, wore make up and in the case of Jefferson, believed in witches.

It’s hard to look at obunghole and realize that people were dumb enough to vote him in as POTUS. (And some dumb enough to again vote to reelect him!)

I'm sooooooooo glad I'm not a liberal. Every liberal I've ever known or spoken with can never see anything but the negative in everything.

Must truly suck to be so miserable, every f'king day.

And these two old ones..............so true

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress

John Adams

No man's, life, liberty, or property are safe while legislature is in session.
Mark Twain

"I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. "

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. "

- Thomas Jefferson

"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."

- John Adams
