Thomas Jefferson said: “Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”
And: “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
James Madison stated: “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
Barack Hussein Obama said: “Government is the one thing we all belong to.”
Alexander Hamilton said: “It’s not tyranny we desire; it’s a just, limited, federal government.”
Walt Whitman stated: “There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.”
Edmund Burke said: “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
Hugo Black stated: “The Framers of the Constitution knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.”
Last weekend, Barack Hussein Obama said: “Unfortunately, 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. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”
Yes…He actually stated, of those who would warn you of tyranny, “You should reject these voices.”
My God…
