Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever
he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever
he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him
to make war at pleasure.
Abraham Lincoln

As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that
all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally
entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among
the foremost nations of justice and liberality.
George Washington |
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may
be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George Washington |
Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution
of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United
States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow
the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from
abroad.
James Madison |
Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it
for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect.

The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question,
whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.
James Madison |
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has
set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks
and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson |
I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous
than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity,
under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.
Thomas Jefferson |
Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute
so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.
Thomas Jefferson |
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the
government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson |
A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such
an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions,
cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence
to attain his ends.
Henry A. Wallace |
A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.
H. L. Mencken |

ears to the ground.

H. L. Mencken

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual
ignorance.
H. L. Mencken |
Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the
candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, that by the time election
day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let
a new gang in.
H. L. Mencken |
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
H. L. Mencken

enough to want to force it upon anyone.

for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

determined leaders and a sound cause.

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in
favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever
ineligible for public office.
H. L. Mencken |
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to
think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost
inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest,
insane, intolerable.
