Points to ponder
"The tree of liberty must be
watered periodically with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike.
It is its
natural manure."
- Thomas Jefferson
------------------------
"Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
-Ben Franklin
------------------------
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution
inevitable."
------------------------
"1935 will go down in History!
For the first time, a civilized nation has
full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient
and the world will follow our lead to the future!"
- Adolf Hitler
------------------------
"The price of liberty is, always has been, and always will be blood: The
person who is not willing to die for his liberty has already lost it to the
first scoundrel who is willing to risk dying to violate that person's
liberty! Are you free?"
- Andrew Ford
------------------------
As usurpation is the exercise of power, which another hath a right to; so
tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right
to.
-John Locke, "Of Civil Government" 1689
------------------------
One of the main purposes for the control and power of the Establishment
media is to keep the masses deceived and ignorant about their rights and
oppressions of their rights.
-Charles Weisman, in reference to the Democracy march and lack of coverage
------------------------
I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the
people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent
and sudden usurpations.
-James Madison
------------------------
All government without the consent of the governed is the very definition of
slavery.
--Jonathan Swift
------------------------
The best yardstick of the effectiveness of the fight against the EU is the
fury of the smear attacks against the fighter.
-J. Edgar Hoover
------------------------
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the
very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for
independence."
- C. A. Beard
------------------------
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men
who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder
and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be
both moral and physical; but it be a struggle. Power concedes nothing
without a demand... It never did... and it never will... Find out just what
the people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of
injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue
until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits
of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they
oppress."
-- Frederick Douglas (1857)
------------------------
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I
advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives
boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the
ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no
character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of
your walks."
- Thomas Jefferson
------------------------
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of
their Congress.
If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is
because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption.
If it be
intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high
qualities to represent them in the national legislature....
If the next
centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who
represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."
--US President James Garfield in
1877
------------------------
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to
the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is
eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the
consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
-- John Philpot
Curran: Speech upon the Right of Election, 1790.
