Here's more "total BS" for uw:
Remember:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, it is morally treasonable to the American Public." -- President Theodore Roosevelt
"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government." --Thomas Paine
The citizen who sees his society's democratic clothes being worn out and does not cry it out, is not a patriot, but a traitor. --Mark Twain
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to know that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers." --John Adams
"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think." --Adolph Hitler
"When the people clamor to be shielded from reality, when they praise their government for keeping things from them, when they choose to conduct their lives within the limits of whatever fantasy the government supplies, then they are no longer consenting to be governed, they are begging to be ruled." --Michael Ventura |
