I love punching Nazi's and I am far left. I have a big problem with people who don't want to punch Nazi's and would be happy to punch them too. Evil prevails when good men do nothing. Maybe stop being on the wrong side of history and just don't get punched? Happy to come smack a traitor around any day though! Republikkklans and the right have betrayed their country. Do remind me what the penalty for treason is again.
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.”
--Teddy Roosevelt (R)
"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores Constitution."
- Thomas Jefferson
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
-Theodore Roosevelt
The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.
-Jimmy Carter
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
—FDR, 1937
This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.
-Theodore Roosevelt
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
-The Federalist No. 47, at 324 (James Madison) (J. Cooke ed.1961)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure,"
-Thomas Jefferson
