HAPPY 5TH
Remember, remember the fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot, I know of no reason Why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes the only honest man to ever enter parliment. Oh how the states could use his kind today.
In the spirit of Fawkes, please find a few Jeffersonian quotes below.
Happy 5th!
"For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security."
"Every generation needs a bloody revolution. "
"Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. "
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
"I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive."
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it. "
"Those who would sacrifice their liberty for security will gain niether and loose both."
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. "
"People should not fear their government; government should fear its people."
Most accuretly described in modern political terms as a Libertarian, Jefferson was a critic of both corporations and big government, believing the two enevidably calluded to deprive the people of their liberty.
