"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
U.S. President Thomas Jefferson:
"There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.. Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it. When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people's weapons. It makes it so much easier for the secret police to operate, it makes it so much easier to force the will of the ruler upon the ruled."

People ...or as Michael Savage calls us ..."sheeple" http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/ we are slowly giving up our civil rights one inch at a time and it has to stop before they are all gone and we no longer even have the means to take them back from 'big brother' who really doesn't know whats best for us ...we have always known whats best for us and I don't know about you but I for one will never simply leave my welfare or the welfare of my family up to what the government thinks is best ...no thanks!!..The government has never taken over one segment of our economy and delivered any goods or services to anyone without spending twice the amount of money the privatre sector would have spent to do the same exact job. Give them healthcare?? You have to have lost your mind.
