Edmund Burke Quote

"I dread our own power and our own ambition; I dread our being too much dreaded. ... We may say that we shall not abuse this astonishing and hitherto unheard-of-power. But every other nation will think we shall abuse it. It is impossible but that, sooner or later, this state of things must produce a combination against us which may end in our ruin."

by:	Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Irish-born British statesman, parliamentary orator, and political thinker

History repeating itself, the Amerikan empire is in a stage of ruin because of astonishing abuse of power (and the criminal ambitions thereof - arm and train terrorists to do our bidding, create a police state violently apposed to We The People's individual sovereign rights, kill the innocent by drone, etc., etc., etc.). Combinations against us are accumulating.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Read "Marked for Death" by Geert Wilders and see what the real danger is to this country. Mr. Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament made some unflattering remarks about the Koran and the "Profit Mohammad" and is now marked for death by members of this "peaceful" so-called religion. Every American, regardless of political affiliation needs to read this book.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx
How apropriate that this quote came from and was made about the British Empire. Britain taught the US and A everything it knows about tyrany and the abuse of power; and now is reapingthe same rewars.  -- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada
