Justice Millard Fillmore Caldwell Quote

"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the new wonderful good society which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious."

The Clinton/Obama cadre are just the messengers. Our bread and circuses are FREE! Super Sunday 50 is a time to party and celebrate our success! HAIL OBAMA/CLINTON  -- Bruski, Naples FL      1
In the Book of Hosea it states, "My people shall perish for lack of knowledge, because they reject knowledge." People are lazy and don't do their homework at election time.  -- Anonymous, Oakland, TN      2 1
Great quote!  -- Mary-MI
Pretty well sums up our country today. Folks complain about the mess we are in and then vote the same people in that caused this mess. Truly it has been said that Government is a Disease Masquerading as it's own Cure.  -- jim k, Austin      2
Anonymous, Oakland, TN. Interesting application of the 28th bk OT, Hosea, 4:6. speaking of Israel's Rejection of the knowledge of God. For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness In the ( Latter Days ). For so many who clam to KNOW the Truth, they should be teachers rather than Complainers ! It is a time for children to be taught ! Hosea points out a prediction 2:23," I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were Not my People, Thou Art My People; and they shall say, Thou art my God." 6:6 For I desire Mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Placing in the minds and hearts of those to come. ( Act 28:28 Be it known therefore unto you, ( Israel ) that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will HEAR IT. ) Israel is blind in part, until WE the People get our job done ! II Tim 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be Ashamed, Rightly Dividing the word of Truth." This in continuance throughout history, from the beginning to the end. In Amen, covers it all. Liberty is Life, never oppression which lives fatly at the expense of the industrious slave. One needs a Doctor to cut the cancer out Jim. !! Loyalty lies in the heart of the Patriot, not his pocket book. That love within the ranks knows who to follow. Semper FI  -- Ronw13, Yachats OR      3
The individual heir(s) to the Eternal King have rejected their Father by choosing: carnal god law givers foreign to our Patriarch's law of nature, to be chattel instead of individual sovereigns, to be slaves instead of standing in our birth right's inalienable right(s) and to be helots / serfs / vassals instead of noblemen at liberty. The quote is accurate.  -- Mike, Norwalk      2
Indeed.  Unfortunately the principles of the freeman have long been forgotten in the schools.  Instead our children are taught to obey the dictates of de facto rule rather than to "know thyself." Americans have been bequeathed the highest form of governance on Earth, but it must be embraced by each generation lest they become the tools of designing men who claim authority over them.  How wise indeed were the American founding fathers.  Would that such consciousness and understanding rested within the hearts and minds of today's Americans, young and old!  -- E Archer, NYC      1
It is the mob mentality of population who lead the elected, while the reasonable challenge it all.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
