Sam Adams....the man, not the beer....truer words, etc:

[Gabi Hayes]

''If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. ''
-- Samuel Adams

5. I have this reoccurring fantasy

that the members of *'s evil empire will be met outside the Pearly Gates by the signers of the Declaration of Independence. These great patriots will castigate the *cons for what they have done to the constitution and then ass kick them all the way to the River Styx.

6. that's way too easy on them

I have much more intricate fantasies

[left is right]

9. Admitted

But I no longer hold out any hope that they will ever be held accountable while they draw breath

7. The man was a true patriot.

The beer's not bad either.
