Whenever our leaders tell us there's going to be a declaration of war, you'd better look out because that usually means it's going to be a declaration of war against our liberties.

What an idiot.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people... No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare..."

James Madison

Hope the rest of your day goes better!

Maybe you'll have a better day when you can prove that James Madison would have said that 9/11 was America's fault and other such silly comments that Ronnie has made. If you can't then your attempt to equate Ronnie with James is pretty lame.

LOL You Paulestinians don't have the least bit of discernment.
