CNN Poll: Majority says government a threat to citizens' rights
I guess the "shock" is that the majority agree with the Founding Fathers?

CNN Poll: Majority says government a threat to citizens' rights
I guess the "shock" is that the majority agree with the Founding Fathers?
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."
--- Patrick Henry
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
--- George Washington
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States."
-Noah Webster
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
--- George Washington
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
--- Richard Henry Lee
"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution."
--- Thomas Jefferson
"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. "
--- Noah Webster
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
--- Thomas Jefferson
