"Last Night 3 Cargoes of Bohea Tea were emptied into the Sea. This Morning a Man of War sails.
This is the most magnificent Movement of all. There is a Dignity, a Majesty, a Sublimity, in this last Effort of the Patriots, that I greatly admire. The People should never rise, without doing something to be remembered—something notable And striking. This Destruction of the Tea is so bold, so daring, so firm, intrepid and inflexible, and it must have so important Consequences, and so lasting, that I cant but consider it as an Epocha in History."

~John Adams

" There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.

Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become.

And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.

When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people's weapons. It makes it so much easier for the secret police to operate, it makes it so much easier to force the will of the ruler upon the ruled."

"My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the
most insignificant office that ever the invention of
man contrived or his imagination conceived; and as I
can do neither good nor evil, I must be borne away
by others and meet the common fate."

~John Adams

"It's reported that John Adams' last words were, "Thomas Jefferson survives."
History tells us, however, that Jefferson had died shortly before John Adams passed away.
But Adams was right. All of us stand in tribute to the truth of those words.
We proclaim it again and again with our dedication to keeping this a land of
liberty and justice for all, and through our deeds and actions, to ensure that
this country remains a bastion of freedom, the last best hope for mankind.
As long as a love of liberty is emblazoned on our hearts, Jefferson lives."

~Ronald Reagan (July 3, 1987)

can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea."

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya, punk?"

"When I went home to my family in May, 1770, from the town meeting in Boston, which was the first I had ever attended, and where I had been chosen in my absence, without any solicitation, one of their representatives, I said to my wife, "I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate."

She burst into tears, but instantly cried out in a transport of magnanimity, "Well, I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you, and be ruined with you, if you are ruined."

These were times, my friend, in Boston, which tried women's souls as well as men's. "

LET'S FINISH IT!

[trisham]

LOL! It should have the word “dumb” added, though.

[Lady Jag]

Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
Pelosi: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
Pelosi: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.
Alice: And how do you know that you're mad?
Pelosi: To begin with, a dog's not mad. You grant that?
Alice: I suppose so
Pelosi: Well, then, you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.
