Jefferson, -------------------------- Correct and if you study Jefferson, he warned along with others that "TWO HOUSE DIVIDED" would fall. What is happening now in this country has nothing to do with "DEMOCRACY". It has to do with lack of morality, lack of understanding what a Representative Democracy is and Lack of understanding what Capitalism should be and the lack of understanding and respect to the Constitution of the United States. Read the fucking constitution you idiots. Also, "UNITED STATES" as in each state coming together but not forgoing their "STATES RIGHTS". THE STATE SHOULD HAVE MORE POWERS than the FED GOV as to their own affairs. THE CONSTITUTION "LIMITS" AUTHORITY OF THE "UNITED STATES". Fucking morons. I hope all of you crazy socialist stay as far away as you can from the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.
Oh, my God. It's "liberals" that are destroying our freedoms. Run for your lives! Funny how the dictionary definition<Sup>*</Sup> of "liberal" as someone "favorable to or in accord with the policy of leaving the individual as unrestricted as possible in the opportunities for self-expression or self-fulfillment." Or, "someone favorable to progress or reform..." has now become someone who threatens to "...destroy the USA and our freedoms" , and someone who "...want the guberment [sic] to do everything and take everything from success. Period." __________ *American College Dictionary, 1961 edition.
Ben Franklin said something to the effect of "As soon as the people figure out they can vote themselves monies from the public trough, it's over." I'll badly paraphrase John Adams while I'm at it. "This Constitution is meant to govern an educated and moral electorate. It's application under any other set of circumstances will doom it to certain failure."
Ahhh...ok, then the American College Dictionary wins then...right? Liberals, socialists, democrats....whatever term you want, these people figured out over 50 years that the more people you get on the dole of the guberment, the more votes you get! Brilliant!!!! Liberals want the guberment to do everything and take everything from success. Period. The collapse of the USA will be written about the socialism of the USA by the democratic party and the suffocating of all our freedoms and capital flows that ensues. Remember...there wouldn't be a democratic party without two things: Unions and guberment handouts (theft for votes). Unions are thugs and so are the democrats...they are the two most power hungry institutions in the world and will lie and steal to achieve that power.
This is another one of those quotes bandied about and (falsely) attributed to a number of people. As an aside, how come everyone picks ol' Ben to hang all these on? http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alexander_Fraser_Tytler Another section is occasionally added: that is also attributed to many.
You weren`t too far off... Then again, this is the guy who signed the Alien & Sedition Acts into law...
The more I learn about Texas the more I like it... Loser pays in lawsuits [that must be rubbing the ACLU @ssholes raw]. Let us know when you overthrow the Endemic Republic of Mexico...
