The libs know this all too well and that's why they've shoved the socialist agenda down our throats a little bit at a time.  -- jim k, Austin,Tx
The organized minority will always rule the unorganized majority.  -- cal, lewisville, tx
The abbrogations and usurpations are so numerous now, that to truly reform our system to its intended form would require a revolution -- and a revolution in thinking is underway. We ought to remember that the citizens of communist countries have not been able to throw off their yokes -- what makes us think it can't happen here? We must stop allowing the government to claim more and more power over us -- they must be pushed back to the swamp alloted to them. How many czars should we allow to rule over us? ENOUGH!  -- E Archer, NYC
I think that the American people have awakened and the pendulum is about to swing back to stricter adherence to the Constitution as our guiding principles. "The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.” Alexis de Tocqueville quote  -- GunnyCee, Durham
Interesting quote: Sounds as if violence must be dismantled little by little, and conversely perseverance connected little by little. Excellent.  -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
The quote is a good observation of happenstance. Those that persevere in that which is outside nature's law or is purely emotional, or evil, as a rule, generally includes violence (by example: theocratic socialism, clerical regimes or improper / undue pursuits).  -- Mike, Norwalk
