Words to live by...once
"If it be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws — the first growing out of the last.... A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government."

Alexander Hamilton, Essay in the American Daily Advertiser, Aug 28, 1794

"A feeble executive implies a feeble execution of the government. A feeble execution is but another phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever may be its theory, must be, in practice, a bad government."

Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 69, March 14, 1788

Thank you Republican Party for making Bush a dictator. Thank you for pissing on the graves of EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN who died fighting for and defending the Constitution.

You must be proud of yourselves.

1. Every single one. Yes. Too bad it's so late; your post should be read
by everyone at DU. It's inspiring.
