James Madison, one of the founding fathers and the author of some Federalist Papers, was not only one of the more intelligent founders, but, apparently, he was something of an oracle. His quotes still apply today.
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT??
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood."
PATRIOT ACT/NSA?
"It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad."
EXECUTIVE ORDERS TODAY?
"Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power."
THE EGOTISM OF THE LEFT?
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
OBAMA'S DISBELIEF IN AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM?
"The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world."
