With all that is going on I thought this might get you thinking:
When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
-Benjamin Franklin
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
-Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
-Thomas Jefferson
The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country. A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote. If children were forced to learn about the Constitution, about how government works, about how this nation came into being, about taxes and about how government forever threatens the cause of liberty perhaps we wouldn't see so many foolish ideas coming out of the mouths of silly men.
-Lyn Nofziger
If we would only listen those who have come before us and have warned of such things...
Even though it seems that no matter how much we shout we feel as we are whispering into a hurricane and will not be heard, we must not give up. We are not alone Please read the post below that I am trying to spread from Glenn Beck to join together as a storm of conservative voices that will hold Washington responsible and hopefully make some changes.
