Anonymous Coward User ID: 75472993 Canada 09/18/2017 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809) “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” – John Adams "The General Principles On Which The Fathers Achieved Independence Were... The General Principles Of Christianity" John Adams "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." John Jay “Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” – John Adams "A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." George Washington "The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is that he will die on his feet rather before he will live on his knees." - George Washington. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities. A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks. Thomas Jefferson " God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Thomas Jefferson " When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. " Thomas Jefferson " The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. " Thomas Jefferson " No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him. " Thomas Jefferson " The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it. " Thomas Jefferson " The people will not understand the importance of the Second Amendment until it is too late. " Thomas Jefferson What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Jefferson, Thomas I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. Thomas Jefferson Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. Thomas Jefferson For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security. Thomas Jefferson If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Thomas Jefferson We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. Thomas Jefferson One man with courage is a majority. Thomas Jefferson No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. Thomas Jefferson When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred. Thomas Jefferson I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be. Thomas Jefferson History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is. Thomas Jefferson Never spend your money before you have earned it. Thomas Jefferson Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty. Thomas Jefferson The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed. Thomas Jefferson Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning. Thomas Jefferson Be polite to all, but intimate with few. Thomas Jefferson I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. Thomas Jefferson I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind. Thomas Jefferson Always take hold of things by the smooth handle. Thomas Jefferson I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another. Thomas Jefferson One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more. Thomas Jefferson None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important. Thomas Jefferson Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do. Thomas Jefferson One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. Thomas Jefferson To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education. Thomas Jefferson It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong. Thomas Jefferson Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very fast. Thomas Jefferson I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another. Thomas Jefferson Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted. Thomas Jefferson We did not raise armies for glory or for conquest. Thomas Jefferson The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it Thomas Jefferson [link to www.dallasnews.com (secure)] Last Edited by Account Deleted by User on 09/18/2017 06:32 PM |

Linda User ID: 72509922 United States 09/18/2017 05:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These assholes in the city of Dallas have lost their minds. First they remove the Robert E. Lee statue. Now Sam Houston, James Bowie and William Travis are among the school names to be changed? WTF? What is next? Take down the Alamo because it is insensitive to Mexicans? At least the Alamo is out of their jurisdiction in San Antonio. Quoting: LoneStarRising ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dallas ISD is researching the histories of Ben Franklin, Sam Houston, Thomas Jefferson and 17 other historical figures, looking into whether their connections with slavery or the Confederacy should prompt reconsideration of their names on DISD campuses. Last Thursday, DISD administration recommended changing the names of four schools honoring Confederate generals: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston and William L. Cabell elementary schools. During that discussion, it was mentioned that there is a much broader list of at least 21 names that bear further investigation, if trustees were compelled to do so. "This was just a very quick review of looking at the biographies of the individuals," DISD chief of school leadership Stephanie Elizalde told trustees on Sept. 14. "And if there was any association with Confederacy — not making a judgment for or against — just if we saw Confederacy named in it, we then highlighted it. We are now in the process of doing a second [look]." The Dallas Morning News has obtained a copy of that list, which includes Texas revolutionaries and founders such as Sam Houston, James Bowie and William Travis, U.S. presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and Dallas pioneers James Gaston and William Brown Miller.

darth User ID: 70183558 United States 09/18/2017 05:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Benjamin Franklin? This guy: "In his later years he became vocal as an abolitionist and in 1787 began to serve as President of the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. The Society was originally formed April 14, 1775, in Philadelphia, as The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage; it was reorganized in 1784 and again in 1787, and then incorporated by the state of Pennsylvania in 1789. The Society not only advocated the abolition of slavery, but made efforts to integrate freed slaves into American society." How could they be so incredibly ignorant of history? |

When the United States annexed California after the Mexican War, Marx sarcastically asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?” Engels shared Marx’s contempt for Mexicans, explaining: “In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it.
