"Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn't needed, and in hell where they've got it." ~ Cecil Palmer
"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it" ~ Thomas Sowell
"Socialism values equality more than liberty." ~ Dennis Prager
"Most people who read "The Communist Manifesto" probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of "the workers." ~ Thomas Sowell
"The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism." ~ Karl Marx
"Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail." ~ Benito Mussolini
"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 - )
Our Founding Fathers were greatly influenced by a rather lengthly treatise on the subject of freedom, The Spirit of Laws, by Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, published in 1748.

COMMENTARY
By G T Baker
NOW LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT....!
Earlier today President Obama went on TV to announce his solution for finding ways to cut government spending. His answer? Establish a government commission to study and recommend ways to cut spending.
Huh! The Obama Administration is going to spend millions of dollars to establish and administer a commission to do exactly the same thing that has been done before. Would it not be a better use of our tax money to retrieve and dust of the recommendations of previous cost-cutting commissions? And BTW those previous recommendations were never adopted and implemented.
Any way you cut it this looks like nothing more than an attempt by the Obama Administration to deflect public and media criticism from their record setting deficit spending, and for that reason Republicans and Conservatives should refuse to serve on the Commission. Its real purpose is not to solve spending problems, it is to make to Obama Administration appear to be doing something about their own profligate spending. Sheeeesh!!!!!

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.
