He sat next to George Washington in the pew at St. Paul's Chapel in New York during the religious service following Washington's Presidential Inauguration.

He helped ratify the U.S. Constitution.

His name was Fisher Ames.

Fisher Ames was a Congressman from Massachusetts where, on August 20, 1789, he proposed as the wording of the First Amendment (Annals of Congress, 1:766):

"Congress shall make no law establishing religion, or to prevent the free exercise thereof, or to infringe the rights of conscience."

They already have to great extent. Christians are being targeted, free speech is being curtailed and just try to have a TEA party rally.

Unless you have a 2nd amendment.

In his words, 'few can reason, all can feel' ...

It is so easy to manipulate people's emotions. The Left are an emotions-based, emotions driven people. It is much more difficult to reason than it is to be propelled along by one's emotion.

At the Massachusetts Convention, January 15, 1788, Fisher Ames warned that democracy without morals would eventually reduce the nation to the basest of human passions, swallowing freedom:

"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction."

But, but Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are SO much smarter then Mr. Ames.... Right..???

"Despotism lies at the door; when (there is) chaos, society will submit to rule by the sword"

That's exactly what the Leftist totalitarians want. That's exactly why they cause chaos and violence. They assume that it is they who will be wielding the sword, if, for no other reason, because their violence will surpass any other.

These are evil people. They seek to impose their evil upon others by any means available. They particularly love the idea of violence, chaos, warfare, destruction, bloodshed, and suffering.

Progressives are communists. They hate and will destroy the West if able. They will kill white people where the American culture is native. These people are playing for real. We have to keep them out of elected and government power.
