And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." Barry Goldwater "Whoever has an army has power, and war decides everything." Mao Tse-Tung "Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side." George Washington, Farewell Address [September 19, 1796] "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted." President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Farewell Speech [1961] "Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech." Benjamin Franklin Oops, sorry, that was way too deep for you. You're the one that should be deported to one of Rumsfeld's secret offshore concentration camps.

Each of us is proud that we serve the people in a high position. We are all members of the people, we express its spirit and its will. The lowliest of our people is dearer to us than the king of another nation. And we would rather be the lowliest citizen of our nation than the king of another." Joseph Goebbels, January 1, 1934
