♦ nivek ♦ Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 "In framing a government, which is to be administered by men over men,the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself." -- James Madison (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President Source: The Federalist; Feb.8, 1788 http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/J...ison.Quote.A253 "Can the real Constitution be restored? Probably not. Too many Americans depend on government money under programs the Constitution doesn't authorize, and money talks with an eloquence Shakespeare could only envy. Ignorant people don't understand The Federalist Papers, but they understand government checks with their names on them." -- Joseph Sobran (1946- ) Columnist http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/J...bran.Quote.71D6 "If newsmen do not tell the truth as they see it because it might make waves, or if their bosses decide something should or should not be broadcast because of Washington or Main Street consequences, we have dishonored ourselves and we have lost the First Amendment by default." -- Richard Salant (1914-1993) former President of CBS News http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/R...lant.Quote.A88C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
