"Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying civilization." - Aristotle
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the
Tranquility of servitude better than the
Animating contest of freedom, go home from
us in peace. We ask not your counsels or
arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which
feed you. May your chains set lightly upon
you, and may posterity forget that ye were
our countrymen."
~ Samuel Adams, speech at the
Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776

Teddy's Answer to Bush and Obama!

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
