Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.

Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it.

This is from a friend and I will share it with you all. copy it and send it to your friends and other posts.

It is un-American to require citizens to purchase their rights from
government.  It is un-American to force individuals to join unions.
It is un-American to dictate wages, prices, working conditions, and
benefits.  It is un-American to legislate from the bench.  It is
un-American to rule by decree using executive orders to circumvent the
legislative process.  Forced equality of outcome is a fundamentally
un-American goal.

It is un-American to grant special government privileges to one group
at the expense of others.  It is un-American to subsidize industries,
corporations, and technologies.  It is un-American to tax some
citizens and not others.  It is un-American to invade other nations
without a declaration of war.  It is un-American to take from those
who earned and give to those who did not.  Redistribution of wealth is
the primary objective of socialism; it is a particularly un-American
goal.

The Democratic Party has sold out entirely; the Republicans only
somewhat less so.  Socialist government is like a grizzly bear mauling
and devouring everything it encounters. Democrats want to rile it up
and point it towards their successful neighbors, while Republicans
think they can potty train it to keep its crap out of their family
rooms. Libertarians want to kill it, or at least send it back to
Canada.
BTW un-American= Unconstitutional IMO

A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money. 
Everett Dirksen 

But the basic difficulty still remains: It is the expansion of Federal power, about which I wish to express my alarm. How easily we embrace such business. 
Everett Dirksen 

During a political campaign everyone is concerned with what a candidate will do on this or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected. 
Everett Dirksen 

I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. 
Everett Dirksen 

I have said, with respect to authorization bills, that I do not want the Congress or the country to commit fiscal suicide on the installment plan. 
Everett Dirksen 

The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion. 
Everett Dirksen 

The oil can is mightier than the sword. 
Everett Dirksen 

There is no force so powerful as an idea whose time has come. 
Everett Dirksen 

We are becoming so accustomed to millions and billions of dollars that "thousands" has almost passed out of the dictionary. 
Everett Dirksen 

We have been through this is biennial convulsion four or five different times over the past 10 or 12 years, and now it appears that we are going through this quiet agony all over again. 
Everett Dirksen 

When a member of the House moves over to the Senate, he raises the IQ of both bodies. 
Everett Dirksen 

When all is said and done, the real citadel of strength of any community is in the hearts and minds and desires of those who dwell there.

As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education.
