Jefferson was right.

"That government is best which governs least." Some people say it's misattributed, but that's not important. "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases." History is the the only "Google" you need to figure out what may happen in the future or in our case: what's happening now.
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." That's for you Rosie O' Donnell and all of those Hitler-esque gun-control psychos. No, I don't think she's insane like Hitler at all. I think She's confused like the majority of uneducated Americans. Now am I educated? That I can't answer, I don't have the arrogance to yell yes nor the humbleness to say no, but what really is education? A high school graduate degree, or a Ph.D? One has a general knowledge of all things while the latter is extensive knowledge in one or few things. I don't have the extensiveness yet, but I feel like both certificates reside beside me and more.
Anyways here's another one: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies…if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent that their fathers conquered.” The Federal Reserve is not affiliated with the government, check out the blue pages--it's not there. I feel hopeless, the only thing I can do is sigh knowing these things and feel even worse feeling like I can't do anything about it. There is hope and the only test is time, no one's ever beat it and nothing ever will(even the Universe the only thing that can is God). Power is temporary: "What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is its natural manure." Power corrupts, so I hope we follow Jefferson's schematic instead of Hamilton's next time around and see what we we should have been. The men in power of our country today do not reside in the White House anymore, God help us. "On matters of principle, stand like a rock."
