I like the entry title:

"Give me liberty or give me birthday cake!"


"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

Amen.


"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."

Audit the Fed! ;)

Observations on the Present State of the Nation (1769) was a reply to George Grenville; On the Causes of the Present Discontents (1770)

He's so cool he replies before a question is asked. :D
