Re: "So you don't like the founding Fathers ?" Such a silly statement, Shorty! ------------------------------------------ “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” --- Thomas Jefferson "Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad...." --- James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, May 13, 1798. "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes... known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few... No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." ---James Madison, 4th U.S. President, Political Observations, 1795 "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --- Benjamin Franklin "Timid men... prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous seas of liberty." --- Thomas Jefferson "When the people fear the government, you have TYRANNY, when the government fears the people, you have FREEDOM" --- Thomas Jefferson "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors; they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." --- Samuel Adams
