Quotes And Musings

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."-- Thomas Paine (American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)

"It has ever been my hobby-horse to see rising in America an empire
of liberty, and a prospect of two or three hundred millions of
freemen, without one noble or one king among them. You say it
is impossible. If I should agree with you in this, I would still
say, let us try the experiment, and preserve our equality as long
as we can. A better system of education for the common people
might preserve them long from such artificial inequalities as are
prejudicial to society, by confounding the natural distinctions
of right and wrong, virtue and vice."

-- John Adams (letter to Count Sarsfield, 3 February 1786)

I can guarantee that every young Marine Lt. accepting that diploma is sharp as a razor, tougher than nails and well versed in Shakespeare.

"Whatever may be the judgement pronounced on the competency
of the architects of the Constitution, or whatever may be the
destiny of the edifice prepared by them, I feel it a duty to
express my profound and solemn conviction ... that there never
was an assembly of men, charged with a great and arduous trust,
who were more pure in their motives, or more exclusively or
anxiously devoted to the object committed to them."
-- James Madison (in a, Circa 1835)

Remember the Judges and who appoints them and confirms them, and who makes law, the Senate confirms them and the Congress makes law and is divided in two parts. It is a shame The Federalist Papers are not tought anymore, vote GOP and maybe one day they will be again.
