Ian Reed
Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.
Thomas Paine
A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves... and include all men capable of bearing arms. . . To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms.

Joseph Young
Locke was a smart man and highly influentual, but this was a point of debate I would've had with him personally. He failed to remember that too much law results in no freedom as well, which is precisely what we have today. The founders understood that it was better to leave the people alone. Locke was right, but he didn't look far enough ahead.
Evan Morales
We should keep making these threads regularly. Nowadays people rarely quotes Founding Fathers anymore during debates and discussions while they already had the best quotes and arguments.

I think he's talking about when government is acting as it should. He never says that having tons of laws is good, only that having no laws is bad.
Jaxson Davis
Yep exactly, and Founding Fathers never wanted that.
No system is ever perfect. Authoritarian leads to quicker decisions and less bureaucracy, but less liberty and respect for the rule of laws. Rule of laws can lead to bureaucracy and slow decisions.
Ayden Robinson
OH FUNDING FARTERS
Easton Gonzalez
I take issue with his analysis on this subject, because he operates with a view that racial identity will always be a significant part of the identity for most people of every race, where as we can see in the modern day that this is false, and we can point to specific reasons for why racial identitarianism has continued where it has.
Adrian Rogers
You're right about the context; I don't think any of the Founders anticipated the monster government would become, or that the American populace would be such weaklings to let it go that far. I didn't disagree with him, but I would've liked to point the other side of the coin out in friendly debate. Perhaps it would've cut off a few current problems off at the intersection, so to speak.
Logan Russell
Don't be a faggot. The founding fathers were great men.
Brandon Rivera
Unfortunately, first past the post voting systems will invariably result in this.
That's not what he was saying. He was saying that the result will basically be the government divided into two camps which always work against each other. He's right in so far as you ignore the extent to which both parties are dominated by corporate politicians with no real political allegiance.

For Donald J Trump, the 45th POTUS.
"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men...."
- John Adams

“How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!”
― Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Peterson
Benjamin Franklin on the importance of education on liberty
Noah Martinez
This is one of my favorites by Adams. Our entire government would do well to remember this. We made the same mistake the Roman Republic did, and now congress and the senate are the Patrician class.
Nathan Cooper
>"Believe me, dear Sir: there is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist before I yield to a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose; and in this, I think I speak the sentiments of America." - Thomas Jefferson
Remember this, Nigel. It pained them immensely having to cut ties with Britannia. They wanted nothing more than to be treated as Englishman and you denied them that.
Eli Lewis
"nature, habit and opinion" he claims. not just habit and opinion. so it is not merely an issue of identity but also one of biology
Jace Russell
I don't think Trump wanted private interest for himself in the first place, especially when he was turned from a billionaire beloved by the media, Democrats and Republicans, into a man hated by all elites. If he didn't become president his business would be attacked until it's bankrupted already.

I agree; I think his intent was sincere, even though that will likely earn me a lot of hate to say. Trump doesn't really fit into any particular category of the Roman consuls or Emperors (Well, Hadrian perhaps, though debatable). However, our senate and congress made themselves into an 'elite class' of their own, which led to a lot of strife over time. I'm merely drawing parallels I observe in this case.

Anthony Mitchell
HAHAHAHAHA so Founding Fathers were stoners after all
"I became of course the butt of every thing which reason, ridicule, malice and falsehood could supply. they have concentrated all their hatred on me till they have really persuaded themselves that I am the sole source of all their imaginary evils."
Thomas Jefferson
Charles Parker
Easton Collins
Holy shit that and this quote is so simple yet powerful:
Q. What do you think is the reason that the people of America increase faster than in England?
-- Because they marry younger, and more generally.
Benjamin Franklin
Grayson Gutierrez
Aaron Hill
"I think the difference is very great. An external tax is a duty laid on commodities imported; that duty is added to the first cost, and other charges on the commodity, and when it is offered to sale, makes a part of the price. If the people do not like it at that price, they refuse it; they are not obliged to pay it. But an internal tax is forced from the people without their consent, if not laid by their own representatives. The Stamp Act says, we shall have no commerce, make no exchange of property with each other, neither purchase nor grant, nor recover debts; we shall neither marry nor make our wills, unless we pay such sums, and thus it is intended to extort our money from us, or ruin us by the consequences of refusing to pay for it."
Benjamin Franklin
Cooper Morales
