Miss me?

Some good quotes to ponder as we prepare for the November election. Sentient beings, take note. Repubs, you should pay attention too. :-)


"Those who are willing to trade freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security." - Benjamin Franklin

 

"Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism." - Thomas Jefferson

 

"To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men." - Abraham Lincoln

 

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." - Abraham Lincoln

 

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." - Robert F . Kennedy

 

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." -  Theodore Roosevelt

 

"Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehoods school. And the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool" - Plato

 

"The people are the masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it" -  Abraham Lincoln

 

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself... Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable." -  H.L. Mencken

 

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable." -  John F. Kennedy

 

"Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people." - Richard Perle

 

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross". - Sinclair Lewis. "It Cant happen Here".

 

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear, kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." - General Douglas Macarthur, 1957

 

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." - Henry Kissinger

 

"There ought to be limits to freedom" -  George W. Bush

 

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier...just as long as I'm the dictator" -      George W. Bush (Former GOP Decider-in-Chief)
