We have no government armed with the power capable of
contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only for a
moral and religious people. It is
wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
— John Adams
Duty is ours, results are God's ...
— John Quincy Adams
The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it
connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the
principles of Christianity.
— John Quincy Adams; 6th President; July 4, 1821
There is but one just use of power and that is to serve
people.
— Inauguration of George Bush, Sr; 1989
The foundations of our society and our government rest so
much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them
if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our
country.
— Calvin Coolidge; 30th President
In free governments, the rulers are the servants, and the
people their superiors and sovereigns ...
— Benjamin Franklin
An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left
us. But we shall not fight our
battle alone. There is a just God
that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to
be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take,
but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.
— Patrick Henry
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that
this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on
religious, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other
faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.
— Patrick Henry
Providence has given to our people the choice of their
rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our
Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
— John Jay; first Supreme Court Justice
The most effectual means of preventing the perversion of
power into tyranny are to illuminate…the minds of the people at large, and more especially, to give them knowledge of those
facts which history exhibits, that they may…know ambition under all it
shapes, and…exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes.
— Thomas Jefferson; 1779
Unless the mass [of people] retains sufficient control
over those intrusted with the powers of their
government, these will be perverted to their own oppression
...
— Thomas Jefferson; 1812
Lay down true principles, and adhere to them
inflexibly. Do not be frightened
into their surrender...
— Thomas Jefferson; 1816
In the maintenance of ... (our) principles ... I verily
believe the future happiness of our country essentially depends.
— Thomas Jefferson; 1819
On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to
the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in
the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the
text, or invented against it conform to the probable one in which it was
passed.
— Thomas Jefferson; 1823
The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest
and best ... When all government ... shall be drawn to Washington as the centre
of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on
another, and will become as ... oppressive as the government from which we just
separated.
— Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can
prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them.
— Thomas Jefferson
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to
preserve and enlarge freedom.
— John Locke
I am concerned for the security of our great nation, not
so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces
working from within.
— General Douglas MacArthur
Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there
are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual
and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation ...
— James Madison, 1788
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive,
and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many ... may justly
be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.
— James Madison
We have staked the whole future of American civilization,
not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our
political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves,
to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God.
— James Madison
Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and
intelligence of the citizens. They
fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to
be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in
order to betray them.
— Justice Joseph Story; A
Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States; p 326
America, under an efficient government, will be the most
favorable country of any in the world for persons of industry and frugality ...
— George Washington; 1788
It is impossible to govern the world without God and the
Bible. Of all the dispositions and
habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the
indispensable supporters. Let us
with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without
religion. Reason and experience
both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of
religious principle.
— George Washington in his Farewell Address; 1796
It's time to dump or fire all elected or employed members
of government who are conspiring to change our Republic to a democracy. To hell with democracy!
— Jim Townsend; newspaper editor; California
How can we vote for candidates who don't know this is a
Republic not a democracy?
— Jim Townsend; newspaper editor; California
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent force of government. It can only exist until the voters
discover that they can vote themselves largesse [benefits] from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the
majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the
public treasure, with the result that democracy always collapses over loose
fiscal policy, always foiled by dictatorship.
— Alexander Tyler
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences
of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the
truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth
becomes the greatest enemy of the state.
— Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels; Hitler's
propaganda minister
It is error alone which needs the support of
government. Truth can stand by
itself.
— Thomas Jefferson; Notes on Virginia
Wise men that refuse to participate in the affairs of
government are punished by having to live under the rule of fools.
— Plato
Who stole our freedom of speech?
— Jim Townsend; newspaper editor; California
The average age of the world's great civilizations has
been 200 years. These nations have
progressed through this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to
selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from
apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage.
— Alexander Tyler
Marxism — Communism, Fascism,
Nazism
Few of us survived the Joe McCarthy holocaust of the early
1950s and of those there were even fewer whose understanding and insights had
developed beyond the dialectical materialism of orthodox Marxism.
— Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals
Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive,
affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our
people. They must feel so
frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that
they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future.
— Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals
I represent another Humanist Association—the
Communist Party. For we who are
Communist definitely believe in Humanism.
— Gus Hall, General Secretary; United States Communist Party
When an opponent declares 'I will not come over to your
side', I calmly say 'Your child belongs to us already. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in
the new camp. In a short time they
will know nothing else but this new community.'
— Adolf Hitler, 1939
Communism is socialism in a hurry.
— Nicolai Lenin
The chief enemy of Communism is the Christian clergyman.
— Nicolai Lenin
Humanism is the denial of God and the total affirmation of
man. Humanism is really nothing
else but Marxism.
— Karl Marx
I'm in favor of free trade - it breaks up old
nationalities.
— Karl Marx, 1848
It is enough that the people know there was an
election. The people who cast the
votes decide nothing. The people
who count the votes decide everything.
— Josef Stalin
Divide the world into regional groups as a transition
stage to world government.
Populations will more readily abandon their national loyalty to a vague
regional loyalty than they will for a world authority. Later the regions can be brought
together all the way into a single world dictator.
— Josef Stalin, 1942
Transformational Marxism; the quiet revolution.
What is happening in America today and what is happening
to Kansas in the great plains is not simply a chance
situation in the usual winds of change.
What it amounts to is a total transformation of our society
...
... So we have to anticipate what the future is and then
move back and figure out what it is we need to do today. That's called anticipatory socialization
or the social change function of schools ...
... You have to understand the breadth of the task that's
before us. You cannot think about
restructuring of education without understanding that our total society is in a
crisis of restructuring and you can't get away from it. You can't go into rural areas, go into
the churches, go into government, you can't go into business and hide, for what
we are facing is a total restructuring of the society ...
— Dr Shirley McCune; National Governors' Association Conference on
Education; Wichita, Kansas; 1989
What we know is that the earlier we intervene into the
lives of people the cheaper it is.
— Dr Shirley McCune; National Governor's Association Conference on
Education; Wichita, Kansas; 1989
We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New
York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications
whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of
discretion for almost forty years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world
if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those
years. But the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never
again know war but only peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity.
— David Rockefeller; Council on Foreign Relations (CFR);
Bilderberg; Trilateral Commission (TC); June 5, 1991
