"The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.
No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.
The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. "

"Do not let any one claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics."
--George Washington
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference -- they deserve a place of honor with all that is good."
--George Washington
"Government is not reason. It is not eloquence. It is a force, like fire: a dangerous servant and a terrible master".
--George Washington
"A free people ought...to be armed..."
--George Washington, speech of January 7, 1790 in the Boston Independent Chronicle, January 14, 1790.
We are not moved by the gloomy smile of a worthless king, but by the ardent glow of generous patriotism. We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in. In such a case we are sure that we are right; and we leave to you the despairing reflection of being the tool of a miserable tyrant."
Thomas Paine

[Samuel Adams]
If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace.
We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
