Reminds me of what three other great Americans had to offer back in the day...

Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
- George Washington

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!
- Benjamin Franklin

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
- Abraham Lincoln
