Today's quote
I plowed the land with horses,
But my heart was ill at ease,
For the old sea faring men,
Came to me, now and then,
With their sagas of the seas.
Longfellow

Today's quote
"The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society…. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution … that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted, and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change…. I’m not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through courts… The Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day … The Framers had that same blind spot … the fundamental flaw of this country." Barak Obama
Emphasis mine. Wow, this guy is president of the United States and this is how he feels about the Constitution. I don't know about you, but it doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Today's quote
"You've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as
nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of
all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up
the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the
corner. You should reject these voices." Barak Obama at Ohio State University commencement
Now don't you worry about the IRS knocking at your door or the DOJ tapping your phones. That could never happen.

Today's quote
“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs,
confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this,
every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists
conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state
education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We
object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at
all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against
equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of
not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”
― Frédéric Bastiat
