QUOTE OF THE DAY: WHAT IS TYRANNY?


"But what is tyranny? Or how can a free people be deprived of their liberties? Tyranny is the exercise of some power over a man, which is not warranted by law, or necessary for the public safety. A people can never be deprived of their liberties, while they retain in their own hands, a power sufficient to any other power in the state." - Noah Webster - (1758-1843) American patriot and scholar

Quote of the Day - Aristotle

Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle


So, does that explain making Obama the bi-racial Messiah?

Michael Savage gave an interesting little talk on Aristotle and tyrants last night on his radio show. It should be able to be heard on www.michaelsavage.com today. He said he studied Aristotle in college and that Aristotle said a tyrant would always appear to be the "good guy" - would never soil his hands by doing dirty deeds. Instead, he would let his underlings (in this case, our Congress and his cabinet) do it and claim not to be able to do anything about it.

In the future, remember that the sages of history seemed to think more clearly than we can.
