As John Adams (Federalist) said “The executive shall never exercise the leglislative and judicial powers, or either of them, to the end that it may be a government of laws and not of men”-------------------------------------------- Our Founders were keenly aware that the history of the world proves that republics are fragile. In the very hour of America’s birth in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin was asked, “Well, doctor, what have we got? A republic or a Monarchy?” He replied cautiously, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”------------------------------------------------Taken from The Assault on Reason (by Al Gore): James Madison (Federalist) “The accumulation of all powers, leglislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”------------------"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."-----Woodrow Wilson -------------------------------------- All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: / One time it was a woman’s face, or worse— / The seeming needs of my fool-driven land. —All Things Can Tempt Me*William Butler Yeats---------------------------------All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent. ~ Tennessee Williams---------------------------------------------------- ------"we are in what some would call, ah... a catastraf*ck!" jon stewart regrading the missmanaged iraq war via rumsfeld leadership and exiting comments. ---------------------------------------------- If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium. -jon stewart on the supposed war against x-mas- ---------------------------Professor Impossible: You see Doctor Venture, I found the piece your father hid in the foundation years ago... then I thought about you in physics class. You were a daydreamer. A sassmouth! And, not infrequently, a bit of a gigglepuss! Somehow I doubt twenty years of amphetamines and failure have done anything to improve that.
