“IF this election was the referendum on Judeo-Christian values as many of our finest had cast it; then the devastating results should cause great reflection in people of faith.”

Adams also said, paraphrasing from a letter to his wife, that Liberty, once lost, is gone forever. More important to the context is the bargaining away of the limits on government, specifically, as the contributing factor to its demise.

What Adams was saying to his wife, in essence, is you have to start over again. This is probably what Jefferson was referring to as well in the ‘Tree of liberty is watered by the blood of patriots’.

The USA, as it was founded, is all done. The land remains, but we are no longer a nation of laws, but now we are a nation of men.

Limbaugh wonders why there are two standards - what liberals can get away with and what conservatives get punished for (as opposed to what they actually do).

There are two standards because there are two classes - the makers and the takers. The makers have become a permanent subclass.

When everybody is special, nobody is.

And when the makers stop making(because there’s no point in it when the government confiscates too much of the spoils), the takers won’t have anyone to take from....and then we will welcome Greece to our shores.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to timne with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Thomas Jefferson
