The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Perhaps his greatest quote...
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
from the Preamble...
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Pollie's signature...
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
Thomas Jefferson
Hey Pollie... See, I told you we aren't really that different!
A post by Tractor Girl on the other board, interesting view-point.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
I spect you will no doubt say that Buffet,Gates,Trump actually work.I think not.Your wealth gathering more wealth is not actually work.So I guess you may say that by this token they are taking from the people that actually work.Without checks from government regulations capitalism will end with one man having all.If you dont believe this research it for your self.
Pollies that was an incredibly stupid post. Are you telling me that Buffet, Gates, Trump don't work? Gates is a notoriuos workaholic. It's been documented that Gates would work 3 days straight and thats not just when he started out but up untill of late. You think Buffet just walks around in his underwear all day. And trump, come on you think this guy gets all his deals done by someone else? Just because they didn't work 48 hour days digging ditches in four foot snow like you did doesn't mean they don't work. How many people do you employ? You forget that they lose more in a day than we will make in several lifetimes. And they pay more taxes in one year than we will ever make in many lifetimes.
Pollie, You're pushing it when you say that Buffet,Gates,Trump don't actually work...
They just work differently.
Hank,me think the boy was schooled in the same place McCain was.They both know how to distort the truth.I knew he weren`t shit when he said that republicans were for working people.Well I guess if they are for working people & Democrats are for working people,we can`t go wrong.Uh,please explain why things are like they are for working people after 8 yrs of a party thats for working people.Something is missing the working people.We just dont notice how nuch better we got it I guess.Maybe that decrease of 2000 dollars in salary in the last 8 years is just a figment of our imagination.Or maybe gas didn`t really get up to $4 per gallons.So bring on some stupid punk rapper to tell us we didn`t see what we thought we saw,its all an illusion.You all make me laugh with your stupid denial.
By the way Pollies on a side note, WTF is up with QMNM, What a surprise ending for them rascals. Pretty brave to PR a R/S for the next day and then also say it's to raise capital which means diluting. What happened to the massive amounts of coal they were bringing up. You just can't trust anyone these days. I sold yesterday for a loss, hope you made out alright
LISTEN UP PILGRIMS!!!!
EVERYBODY PLEASE BE NICE TO POLLIE TODAY CAUSE HE'S GONNA HAVE A REEEAL BAD DAY AND NIGHT.
Be kind to those less fortunate then yourself... Republican motto!
NDS... thanks for bringing up QMNM... was gonna ask pollie about that cause he said a week or 2 ago he was strong on them...
let's just get some guns and shoot these lyin' bazturds and be done with it... waddaya say???

Pollies, I thought you could relate to his quote on why Crabs don't escape from an open bucket.
What have the Democrats done to help the working man in the last two years Pollies? What has the Democrat congress done to help prevent the situation America is in today or what did they do at all that helped you or me. I'm not saying Bush hasn't done more than his share of damage either. Pollies you point the blame all in one direction thats denial.
Rayy I looked into this company because Pollie sugested it a long time ago. I made money on it several times and I too believed it was going to be a big hit sooner or later. It just goes to show you that unless you're there watching these scoundrels you don't really know what the hell is going on. Look at HKBV they have been suspended on the suspicion they are lying their asses off
Pipa,none of them have pyshically worked in a millenium.Their money works not them.You want to see what work is come visit me or go to a coal mine were they actually use a pick.Go to a field & watch a worker pick strawberries or cucumbers,something a machine cant pick & most americans wont do.When your willing to get down & dirty & use your back til you you cant sleep right because you hurt,then you have a right to judge working people maybe the right to bitch about a Mexican taking your migratory job.One of either of these type people including many women have done more work in 6 months than those 3 jaspers have in their entire lives.So dont anyone that doesn`t know the aches pains& heartaches a poor worker goes through even pretend to know what we go through.As one canidate says.You just don`t get it.I doubt there`s anyone here that knows what 40 some years o hard pyshical labor is actually like.Thats not bad enough,but the wealthy make it hard to better yourself if you didn`t start life with a colledge education.That is a story in itself.So step back & look & dont say that I had one summer I did this in my life & think that qualifies you to judge working people.I growed up in a working class enviroment.Its a different mindset you have to acquire in order to do it.
Pollies how many of the richest people do you think have college educations? You say the coal miner works hard but without someone putting up dough to start that hole there wouldn't be opportunity for those miners. Do you think that researchers work hard? Do you think that people who use their brain don't work hard? There's different types of skills Pollies and just because a guy doesn't use his back to make a living doesn't mean he's anyless of a worker or any less important. Without Gates and guys like him you'd still be working 90 hour days.
