The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years.
These nations have progressed through this sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to selfishness;
6. from selfishness to complacency;
7. from complaceny to apathy;
8. from apathy to dependence;
9. from dependency back again into bondage.”
Sir Alex Fraser Tyler: (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian

"One of the traditional methods of imposing statism
or socialism on people has been by way of medicine..."

President Ronald Reagan

Every time I see that photo with those swarmy f’ers,I get sick to my stomach.The only redeeming thing is the fact that the swimmer is currently roasting.

The “Alex Fraser Tyler” quote is great, but bogus in origin.

Don’t feel badly. I reposted a bogus Cicero quote on treason for a long time until I discovered it was made up.

What could be a more glaring example of complacency than this: “We must pass this bill so you can find out what’s in it.” And there was no public outcry!
