A friend sent me this today and I thought, " Wow, this storm has been a-brewing a while now hasn't it. "
Very Interesting Quote:
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered'.
If one has to give up one’s freedom for security, one deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin.
and a quote from a somewhat cynical friend:
" Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Freedom, and Vice Versa "
Once
in a while I look around,
I see
a sound
and
try to write it down
Sometimes
they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

Thank you for that quote.. I know it well... Nothing that is happening in this country (USA) is new.. Less we regulate capitalism it will devour our Democracy and end the foundation of the Constitution.. for the people... by the people.... of the people...

This country will not be destroyed from the outside... but from within....
@RobertJ " Those people where ahead of their time."
No they were not ahead of their time .. they were right in their time... living with corparations and banks trying to screw the middle class people.. We are the ones behind times..

Right on Bobby!
Beware of Democrats and Republicans!! They are all PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS. Millionaires and lawyers looking out for themselves and their kin while screwing the average American. Americans can never be free until they rid themselves of CRIMINAL GANGSTERS who have to band together in bands called parties which are no better than MS13, The Latin Kings, or any other number of illegal criminal enterprises that prey on the weak and unwary.
Americans need to elect CITIZEN STATESMEN who are not beholding to criminal gangsters who give them backing and financing.
CITIZEN STATESMEN who are not PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS and who love America more than they love power and money.
CITIZEN STATESMEN who will represent us instead of Lobbyists for corporations who ply them with under the table cash and benefits.
CITIZEN STATESMEN who will represent us instead of RULING OVER US.
Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. It is a dirty, soiled currency backed by graft and greed that will no longer purchase honest representation for the American voter and taxpayer.
I am UVDan and I approve this message.
