"I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."-- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800 Black Americans And Liberty "Tragically, most Americans, including black people whose ancestors have suffered from gross injustices of slavery, think it quite proper for government to forcibly use one person to serve the purposes of another. That's precisely what income redistribution is: the practice of forcibly taking the fruits of one person's labor for the benefit of another. That's also what theft is and the practice differs from slavery only in degree but not kind."www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=3726www.creators.com/opinion/walter-williams.html

Federal Government and its bureaucracy-the new overseer. Now we are ALL field hands and house servants.

A man who has shown some wisdom from time to time from the Live Free or Die State in the past. Color, race and creed matter little when there are those who intend to be your master. Good master or bad master, man was not meant to have a master at least not on this earth. Good intentions often covering greed have brought us to where we are today. I guess my dearly departed grandmother (Nana) who always had a proverb to cover everything was right on this one. "The road to ruins is paved with good intentions."
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." – Daniel Webster (1782-1852)
