James Madison:
On the 'New world Order'
“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation”
On 9/11
“It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.”
On the Cheney/Bush/NeoCon Dictatorship
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny”
On the Mainstream Media
“A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.”
On Historical Revisionism
“Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.”
Sam Adams says:
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. "
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires of freedom in the minds of men."
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks."
Thomas Jefferson says:
"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."
"A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. "
"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."
"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."
"Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government. "
