"As the Black Death epidemics devastated Europe in the mid-14th century, annihilating more than half of the population, Jews were used as scapegoats. Rumors spread that they caused the disease by deliberately poisoning wells. Hundreds of Jewish communities were destroyed by violence. Although Pope Clement VI tried to protect them by the July 6, 1348, papal bull and an additional bull in 1348, several months later, 900 Jews were burnt alive in Strasbourg, where the plague hadn't yet affected the city."

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all." -- Frédéric Bastiat, 1837 "The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education." -- Frédéric Bastiat

"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits." -- Thomas Jefferson to M. L'Hommande, 1787 "That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves." – Jefferson "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on Earth... and what no just government should refuse." -- Thomas Jefferson in a Letter to James Madison, Paris, Dec. 20, 1787 "The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management." -- Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kerchevall, 1816 "[If government have] a right of demanding ad libitum and of taxing us themselves to the full amount of their demand if we do not comply with it, [this would leave] us without anything we can call property." -- Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Lord North, 1775. Papers, 1:233 "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson "Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels ... to govern him?" --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801 "If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread." -- Thomas Jefferson "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." -- Thomas Jefferson to Francois D'Ivernois, 1795 "Most bad government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” – Thomas Jefferson "Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind those we are obliged to trust with power.... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1799 "I own I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive." -- Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 12/20/1787 "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson "If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread." -- Thomas Jefferson "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." -- Thomas Jefferson to Francois D'Ivernois, 1795 "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive." -- Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787 "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787 "In matters of principle, stand like a rock." -- Thomas Jefferson

Wharfie, "Go back to where your ancestors came from, you not-white person." I realize that, but what is it about "whiteness" that gives Hag Coulter the "right" to stay in a land where her own ancestors didn't grow up in? Like it or not, my parents immigrated here legally. They became naturalized citizens legally. Immigration is (or used to be) a national blessing, because there is no surer vote than the one made by the feet. If she wants to close off all immigration, she's welcome to vote for the white supremacists who will make her dreams a reality. Until then, she'll have to explain why Nikki Haley should have to "gO bAcK tO wHeRe yOu cAmE fRoM," but she herself doesn't have to. I doubt I'll ever get a straight answer from her, or from those who defend her. That's cowardice, plain and simple. Tenchusatsu
