How can we any longer ignore the obvious? The communist attitudes; the arrogant displays of power?
Remember this? "Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the new wonderful good society which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious." --Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Absolute Power corrupts absolutely, as congress has demonstrated and was foreseen and spoken of by a previous president: "Limited as are the powers which have been granted, still enough have been granted to constitute a despotism if concentrated in ... the Executive branch. ... The tendency of power to increase itself, particularly when exercised by a single individual ... would terminate in virtual monarchy. ... The tendencies of ... governments in their decline is to monarchy. ... The spirit of faction ... in times of great excitement imposes itself upon the people as the genuine spirit of freedom, and, like the false Christs whose coming was foretold by the Savior ... impose upon the true and most faithful disciples of liberty. It is in periods like this that it behooves the people to be most watchful of those to whom they have entrusted power." --William Henry Harrison, March 4, 1841 inaugural address The inauguration and resultant spaloosh of wealth, glitter, glamour and gaiety makes one think of the splendors of the previous monarchic dynasties--=-and the idiocy of it all. "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." --Martin Luther King Jr. http://patriotpost.us/editions/16368/ It's time, NOW, for Americans to re-take control of their government with all that entails! |
