"During the throes and conclusions of the ancient world, during the agonizing spasms of infuriated man, seeking through blood and slaughter his long-lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agitation of the billows should reach even this distant and peaceful shore; that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others; that this should divide opinions as the measures of safety. But every different of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have different names breathren of the same principle. We are all republicans - we are all federalists." Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801.
Jefferson was right then and right now - we are all Republicans - we are all Democrats. Best to remember that if we want to preserve our liberty and Constitution. For more visit America's Survival Guide and Patriot Week.
