“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.”
~James Madison
“Fascism will come to America in the guise of National Security”
~Jim Garrison (Atty. General of New Orleans)

“Dissent Is the Highest Form of Patriotism”

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States -in the fields of commerce and manufacturing-are afraid of somebody.

~Woodrow Wilson

“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”
~Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshall
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

“We…are not really free if we can’t control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant.”

“The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.”
~Charles de Secondat, baron de Montesquieu
