There are lots of really great quotes from American history from our former Presidents. (Yeah, the "politicians" in most cases probably didn't believe what they were saying, but most Americans knew the information to be true.

Great material to share with your lib friends.

“It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty. … Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. … The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin.

They never forsaw the day when a rouge, criminal president, who openly defied the law and the constitution,
would have the solid backing of half the senate, half of congress and 95% of the press and other media.

1961:

“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

2015:

“Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what your country can do for illegal aliens, criminals, muslim terrorists and rouge politicians.”

There is something I noticed during CPAC that lines up with the point of this article.

When most of the potential candidates spoke they referred to what stuff they would do to "re-train" the American people better than Obama has done. With one exception - Ted Cruz. He gets it just like Ronald Reagan did.

All of the presidents listed in the article, even as democrats, believed that the people are capable of not being micro-managed.

Lesson? The only criteria for president should whether the person truly understands that his job is not to tell us what to do but to get the hell out of the way and only do exactly what the Constitution commands him to do.

No more fundamental transformation of America.

We got rid of the bonds that tied us once. We can do it again if we have to.
