A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson


My opinion.. Obama is messing up pretty good so far =)

Quote by G. Washington ~ (September 17, 1796)

"Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world."

"The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government."

No your right, we're living in a time of socialism at the moment, and frankly, it's scary as hell.

Considering they knew not what would happen from then to now. I think they would be a bit more gun control a bit less revolutionary.
