Never give in, never give up, never surrender!!
We MUST take it back!! Restore the constitutional limits on the government!! Restore the tenth amendment!! Join and support the tenth amendment efforts of states like Wisconsin, Texas, Florida and Arizona!!
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!!
We have not yet begun to fight!!
Copied from post 17 above by EternalVigilance:
-- James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution, in a Letter to Edmund Pendleton, 1792
"If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America."
Amen, Jim!
Isn’t that quote by James Madison something? I wish we would have had it well before right now! What a find by EV!!!!
Every SCOTUS justice should have had it. NO excuse for voting in favor of the monstrosity. Absolutely shameful and unconstitutional.
Actually merits a thread of its own. The damn news media needs it, but will ignore. Maybe Rush will read it on the air Monday if sent to him by a 24 Premium Member.
How easily we forget the simple brilliance of our forefathers!
I have spoken out for years against govt-run education, but everyone looks at me like a lunatic... so we now have a generation of highly thought-trained, brainwashed non-thinkers who cannot realize what is being done to them.
They will never know what they have given up and lost until it is taken away from them. This may go down as the stupidest generation that ever existed on the face of the earth: they had the greatest gift in history and they trod it under foot and spit on it.
