George Eliot wrote:  "Blessed is the man, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact."  Therefore, I will only quote some of my favorite patriots for your consideration: 

"When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."  Donald James Wheal [Marxism, eugenics, global chaos, ACA/Obamacare, welfare...]

"The last official act of any government is the looting of the treasury."  George Washington [Govt. bailouts, crony capitalism, Quantitative Easing, massive welfare expenditures, Obamacare...]

"Government is not reason: it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."  George Washington  [Patriot Act, Executive Fiat, the militarization of local police, secret armies, anti-gun legislation, the NSA, FBI, IRS, TSA, Homeland Security...]

"The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization.  Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning of human life.  If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development.  A tree with a rotten core cannot stand."  [Assault on religious freedoms, abortion, prejudices and bigotry, assaults on the U.S. Constitution...]
