"Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation from government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." - Ronald W. Reagan
Thanks for noticing
so anyway, the good folks over at Q and O are breaking down the current dust-up over the Washington DC gun ban being declared un-Constitutional (can I get an Amen!, brother?) and they've got some great Founding Fathers' quotes up as part of the discussion.
My favorite quotes have been added to the sidebar.
Late / tired / drunk. You know the words, feel free to sing along.....

"How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin. " -- Ronald W. Reagan
"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." -- Robert A. Heinlein
"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe

"The more government takes in taxes, the less incentive people have to work. What coal miner or assembly-line worker jumps at the offer of overtime when he knows Uncle Sam is going to take sixty percent or more of his extra pay? Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong." -- Ronald W. Reagan

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." -- Ronald W. Reagan
"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." --Thomas Jefferson
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." -- Samuel Adams
"It is in vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace! -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our breathren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that Gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery! Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry [Entire Speech]
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a superior force to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States". --Noah Webster

"...that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States from keeping their own arms." -- Samuel Adams
"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom." --John Adams
"Tyranny has perhaps oftener grown out of the assumptions of power, called for, on pressing exigencies, by a defective constitution, than out of the full exercise of the largest constitutional authorities." --Alexander Hamilton & James Madison, Federalist No. 20
"An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it." -- Jeff Cooper
