Founders'
Quotes
"If
the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then
by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until
their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and
restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." "As
there is a degree of depravity in mankind which requires a certain
degree of
circumspection and distrust: So there are other qualities in human
nature,
which justify a certain portion of esteem and confidence. Republican
government
presupposes the existence of these qualities in a higher degree than
any other form.
Were the pictures which have been drawn by the political jealousy of
some among
us, faithful likenesses of the human character, the inference would be
that
there is not sufficient virtue among men for self-government; and that
nothing
less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and
devouring
one another."-- James Madison (Federalist No. 55, 15 February 1788) "The
spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the
departments
in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government, a real
despotism. A just estimate of that love
of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human
heart is
sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position." "Public
affairs go on pretty much as usual: perpetual chicanery and rather more
personal abuse than there used to be... Our American Chivalry is the
worst in
the world. It has no Laws, no bounds, no definitions; it seems to be
all a
Caprice."
-- John Adams (letter to Thomas Jefferson, 17 April
1826) |

Smart People
"The
difference between genius and
stupidity is that genius
has its limits."
“The more help a person has in his garden, the less it
belongs to him.”
"Always attack into an ambush."
-- Lt. Ilario Pantano, USMC

Ronald
Reagan
“A political party cannot be
all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which
must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its
numbers.” —Ronald
Reagan “If
America is to remain what God in his wisdom intended for it to be — a
refuge, a
safe haven for those seeking human rights — then we must once again
extend the
most basic human right to the most vulnerable members of the human
family. We
must commit ourselves to a future in which the right to life for every
human
being — no matter how weak, no matter how small, no matter how
defenseless — is
protected by our laws and public policy.” “You
can’t be for big
government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little
guy.” 'No
arsenal, no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so
formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.' “The
gun has been
called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is
equal to
a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It
insures
that the people are the equal of their government whenever that
government
forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed. When the
British
forgot that they got a revolution. And, as a result, we Americans got a
Constitution;
a Constitution that, as those who wrote it were determined, would keep
men free.
If we give up part of that Constitution we give up part of our freedom
and
increase the chance that we will lose it all. I am not ready to take
that risk.
I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not
be
infringed if liberty in America is to survive.” |
