"If we desire to insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War."
George Washington, Annual Message, December 1793

"Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others."
Alexander Hamilton

The Second Coming by Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned

[PhanthomOps]

Samuel Adams:
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."

[bugsbunny04]

...So be it, threaten no more!

[Milton Bradley]

A Liberal is someone that feels a great debt to his fellow man, a debt he proposes to pay off with your money.

G. Gordon Liddy

[Nono]

G. Gordon Liddy? There's the whole story right there.

[Milton Bradley]

Quote by: Nono G. Gordon Liddy? There's the whole story right there.

Well, it's not as if his personality negates the truth in that statement.


Here's one I just crafted...


A Conservative is a person that feel he owes a great debt to God, a debt he proposes to pay off by saccrificing your liberties.


Milton Bradley

[Milton Bradley]

"It is my right to be uncommon...if I can; I seek opportunity...not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid; to think and act for myself; enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, This I have done, and this is what it means to be an American."

Dean Alfrange

Quote provided by The Architecture of Modern Political Power

[Milton Bradley]

"To be governed is to be watched, inspected, directed, indoctrinated, numbered, estimated, regulated, commanded, controlled, law-driven, preached at, spied upon, censured, checked, valued, enrolled, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be, at every operation and at every transaction, taxed, stamped, registered, numbered, counted, noted, measured, assessed, authorized, licensed, admonished, prevented, forbidden, corrected, reformed, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, fleeced, drilled, extorted from, exploited, monopolized, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at slightest resistance and first word of complaint, to be sacrificed, betrayed, harassed, repressed, disarmed, hunted down, clubbed, abused, fined, sold, and, to crown it all, to be outraged, ridiculed, mocked, derided, dishonored. THAT is government; that is its justice, that's its morality."

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Why do you care? You would be dead

-Shrike, our local zionist comedian

On being asked why would you care about your loved ones after you died

[Gods_Mercenary]

Quote by: castille Actually I dont know if the Caesar quote is an urban legend or real. I've heard it before, but I've never seen it on official texts. Anyone got any clarification or sources for its origins? (naturally in Latin only)

Any quote from that long ago hell, any time before there was a recorded press (and even after), is most likely made up or heavily romanticised. As history teachers have told me over the years, its not that they said is, its that they would say it.

Quote by: Magnus Why do you care? You would be dead -Shrike, our local zionist comedian On being asked why would you care about your loved ones after you died

Umm, that seems like a perfectly reasonable statement, unless you think that a lump of rich soil is capable of compassion.

Quote by: Gods_Mercenary Umm, that seems like a perfectly reasonable statement, unless you think that a lump of rich soil is capable of compassion.

Im guessing that you are being sarcastic, since most of your posts are good.

but if not..

If thats the case, then are you going to run up your credit cards before you die, burn your house down, and crash your car?

No? Why not? sure itll harm your family, but what do you care? youre dead.

[Gods_Mercenary]

I'm not saying that I don't care now what will happen to my family and won't do whatever I can to ensure their welfare, but that after I die I will be incapable of caring, and I'm pretty sure thats what shrike is saying (unless thats not, in which case i apologize.)
