The greatest country in the history of the planet exists immediately south of Canada and even though it is slowly degenerating into a socialist cess pool like the rest of the world through the power of it's constitution can be corrected. 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." "The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead." "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. " Thomas Jefferson "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. " "We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Jefferson on Christianity and Judaism “In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.” "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature." "I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology." "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever." "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time." "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God."
