“In the first place it is to be remembered that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any.” —James Madison, Federalist No. 14

“At this auspicious period, the United States came into existence as a nation; and if their citizens should not be completely free and happy, the fault will be entirely their own.” –George Washington, Letter to the Governors, 1783
The government you get is the one you allow to happen.

From the Patriot Post:
“The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.”
George Washington, First Inaugural Address, 1789
When the eternal rules of right and wrong are ignored, and man insists on imposing his own rules of wrong and right, do not ask “Where is God when ____ happens?”, for you have kicked Him out by insisting on creating your own universe. Good luck with that.

Humorist Frank J. Fleming: “The actual name of the legislation is not Obamacare, but the Affordable Care Act, named in the same playful manner as how the bald stooge is called ‘Curly.’ Not to imply that Obamacare is as capable or helpful as any of the three stooges.”

“Temporary delusions, prejudices, excitements, and objects have irresistible influence in mere questions of policy. And the policy of one age may ill suit the wishes or the policy of another. The constitution is not subject to such fluctuations. It is to have a fixed, uniform, permanent construction. It should be, so far at least as human infirmity will allow, not dependent upon the passions or parties of particular times, but the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever.”
–Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution
Founder’s Quote Daily
I am subscribed to The Patriot Post – I think through Facebook, but I could be wrong – and part of that subscription is a daily quote from a founder of these United States called, appropriately enough, the Founder’s Quote Daily. They contain very pertinent and important thoughts on the founding of this country, and they should serve as reminders to those who have decided to forget history. Those of us who have not forgotten history use them as boosters, to help us get through what is happening to our country, and as a rally point on the road to restoring this great nation. Which, by the way, will happen.
Whether it happens peacefully or through the shedding of blood remains to be seen, although there are those who believe we are past the point of a peaceful resolution.
