Very pertinent today when I believe we are on the Verge of a Real
Fruition of a Movement. Hopefully, people taking a look at their lives in
this kind of more...arbitrary analytical way will help them to wake up too
George Washington warned that party politics, if unchecked, leads to a
Despotism that will firmly establish a supreme dictatorship on the "ruins
of public liberty". This is an excerpt of his Farewell Address delivered to
Congress in 1796
Totalitarianism is a term to describe modern regimes in which the state
regulates nearly every aspect of public and private more... behavior.
Decider.... Fuhrer.... you know what will come next.
A look back at some quotations by the leaders and creators of the
United States of America
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of
liberty.
-Thomas Jefferson
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much
liberty than those attending too small a degree of it."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in
wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people
was the object. This, our Convention understood to be the most
oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the
Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this
oppression upon us."
-Abraham Lincoln
"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the
day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and
pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (administrators)
too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to
slavery."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Experience has shown, that even under the best forms of government
those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations,
perverted it into tyranny."
-Thomas Jefferson
"Happy for us, that when we find our constitutions defective and
Insufficient to secure the happiness of our people, we can assemble
with all the coolness of philosophers and set it to rights, while every
other nation on earth must have recourse to arms to amend or to restore
their constitutions."
-Thomas Jefferson less
