"It has long however been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression ... that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow,) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the states, and the government of all be consolidated into one." ~ Thomas Jefferson, Monticello, August 1821
Take Heed ... "Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few."
~ John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 1763
"How is it then that our Nation has become who and what it is today ... a confused and increasingly inept, elite and aloof plutocracy devoid of foundation and moral virtue ... aimless in its greed and completely devoid of a sound and enduring national vision?" ~ Anon

PROTECT AND ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM!
The quote from Khrushchev, 1959, is eerie in it's parallel to what is happening today in America. Amazing that he and his brethren Communists had such a far reaching plan...and so patient in its implementation.
ReplyDeleteBob, I enjoy the post and pictures on your blog page. I wish I belonged to a 'coffee gang' because it looks like fun! So much love and friendship is obvious from the pictures! (The new beer mug hat is cute!) - Sharon P.
