When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Alynsky rule #4...

“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

[Mogger]

As far as the theological Christian conservatives go, many have the attitude of "waiting for a sign from God", or praying to "God to do something".

They don't realize it is they who need to "do something". George Washington and the rest of our founding fathers prayed to God for help and guidance, but they "did something" in a big way, risking everything they had.
