"Liberty is a word which, according as it is used, comprehends the most good and the most evil of any in the world. Justly understood it is sacred next to those which we appropriate in divine adoration; but in the mouths of some it means anything, which enervate a necessary government; excite a jealousy of the rulers who are our own choice, and keep society in confusion for want of a power sufficiently concentered to promote good." ~ Oliver Ellsworth (1745 – 1807), The Landholder, No. III, November 19, 1787
Which is why we should keep our legislators on a "short leash."
"By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation." - Edmond Burke
"The free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country." – Milton Friedman
The people must also be self-assertive. They must have the spirit of the old Revolutionary War flag: "Don't tread on me!" They must be vigilant against those, at home or abroad, in or out of government, who might wish to trample on their rights. They must be courageous and manly, with a sense of honor, so that in hard times they will stand up and fight, and not slink away slavishly so as to avoid trouble and danger.
Thomas G. West and Douglas A. Jeffrey, The Rise & Decline of Constitutional Government in America
The most important moral of all is that excellence is where you find it. I would extend this generalization to cover not just higher education but all education from vocational high school to graduate school. We must learn to honor excellence, indeed to demand it in every socially accepted human activity, however humble that activity, and to scorn shoddiness, however exalted the activity. An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. --- John William Gardner (1912 - )

COMMENT: Name callers? The Liberals are complaining about Americans who are opposing their views and plans and who are speaking out against them at townhall meetings saying that Conservative Americans have been calling them names. Well now let's just have a look at that sentiment. Searching the internet for just a few minutes here are a few of the terms I found that the very top leaders of the Democrat Party (Reid, Pelosi, Emanuel, et al), and the Media, have been using to describe Conservative protestors: Nazis, mobs, mindless, lawn gnomes, homophobes, neanderthals, retarded, extremists, terrorists, unAmerican, jerks, skinheads, racists, assassins, angry mobs, phonies, fascists, traitors, thugs, evil-mongers, frauds, uneducated hicks. Just one more example of the all to common practice of what liberals think is perfectly acceptable for them but not for anyone who holds a differing opinion. - G T Baker

Seems like the Obama Administration doesn't agree with Lincoln.
Rather, they seem to have adopted the philosophy of:
OF THE GOVERNMENT
BY THE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE GOVERNMENT
RIGHT?
Are you unhappy with the way many things are going in the USA? If you are then let your elected representatives hear from you. Our nation is a "representative republic." In other words a nation where our legislators are supposed to represent your wishes, but, if you don't let them hear from you how are they supposed to know what things concern you? Generally liberals are more group oriented than are conservatives, and tend to be more activist in nature. That's why things in our country have been becoming more and more liberal in nature, even though conservatives outnumber the liberals. Remember, our nation only works as our founders designed it to work if the citizens participate in its operation.
