An evil exists that threatens
every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps
to insure our domestic security and protect our Homeland.
-Adolph Hitler
I would be worried if I didn't
have questions. - Anon.
If liberty is worth dying for,
it's worth fighting for. -Anon.
The whole aim of practical
politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be
lead to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of
hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -Henry Louis Menken
Those who will not be governed by
God, will be ruled by tyrants.
-William Penn
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 hands
that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may
posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
-Samuel Adams
The price of apathy toward public
affairs is to be ruled by evil men. -Plato
If everyone is thinking alike,
then somebody isn't thinking. -Gen. George Patton
"The Government itself ceases to

at the will of a company. ..."
-- Senator Thomas H. Benton, 1832
"..It does not require a majority
to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush
fires in people's minds.."

in matters on which the established authorities are wrong."

Arrogance leads to Ignorance
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:
What would things have been like if every Security operative, when
he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether
he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if,
during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when
they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply
sat there in their lairs, paling in terror
at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the
staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had
boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen
people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The
Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and
transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed
machine would have ground to a halt!"
- The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“The masses indulge in petty
falsehoods every day, but it would never come into their heads to
fabricate colossal untruths. . . . The bigger the lie, therefore,
the likelier it is to be believed.”
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kempf
“We
are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the
right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller
We must speak the truth about terror. Let us
never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks
of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the
blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty.
—President George W. Bush
"A patriot without religion in my estimation is
as great a paradox as an honest Man without the fear of God. Is it
possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real
Good Will towards Men? Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious
conduct, is undermining the very bonds of Society?....The Scriptures
tell us "righteousness exalteth a Nation." John Adams
"We have no government armed with power capable
of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and
religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the
strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It
is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John
Adams
"Have you ever found in history, one single
example of a Nation thoroughly corrupted that was afterwards
restored to virtue?... And without virtue, there can be no political
liberty....Will you tell me how to prevent riches from becoming the
effects of temperance and industry? Will you tell me how to prevent
luxury from producing effeminacy, intoxication, extravagance, vice
and folly?...I believe no effort in favor is lost..." John
Adams
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general
knowledge among the people, who have...a right, an indisputable,
unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and
envied kind of knowledge, I mean the character and conduct of their
rulers." John Adams
"Duty is ours; results are God's." John
Quincy Adams
"If a republican government fails to secure
public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens
neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and
administer the laws." Noah Webster
"Corruption of morals is rapid enough in any
country without a bounty from government. And...the Chief Magistrate
of the United States should be the last man to accelerate its
progress." Noah Webster
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of
freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." Thomas
Paine
"Americans need never fear their government
because of the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess
over the people of almost every other nation." Gouverneur
Morris
"There are more instances of the abridgement of
the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent
encroachment of those in power, than by violent an sudden
usurpation." James Madison
