I don't know who wrote this but I give them 5 stars...

+ i keep saying it... but it's true: the faith in govt is likely stronger than the faith of any religion... given the evidence/history we all know of powerful collectivist central govts.

Machiavelli?

Here's my fave from him...

When you disarm the people, you commence to offend
them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of
confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred.


Niccolo Machiavelli

i'll predend to be smart and say: ya that's who i meant.

but i have no idea where i got it from... i guess he can take credit... although i doubt he was the first to think it.

Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.


There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind
understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can
understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others.
This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind
useless.





It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.



Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.




Hence it comes about that all armed Prophets have been victorious, and all unarmed Prophets have been destroyed.

I'm with damaged eagle. The Constitution says the only thing the miserable government should do is have a military and nothing else.

For example, there is not a goddamn thing in the Constitution that says the government should give Papa Don the 790 AM frequency and have Alex Jones be the only thing on it at 10 PM. That's all just a bunch of government bullshit. There aint crap in the Constitution about that.
What we need is free enterprise to control that. If Papa Don can get on that frequency and drown out everything else with Alex Jones at 10 PM then good for him. But if somebody else wants to put 100,000 watt transmitter on it and drown out Alex Jones with something else then that's what free enterprise is all about. The Constitution never gave anybody control over those fucking airwaves. That's all just a bunch of liberal socialist government shit.

By the way, where in the constitution does it say this big ass corporation should own 1370 AM and be able at the force of law to put that fat fucking piece of shit Limbaugh on there in the daytime and stop anybody else from using that.
If I want to cash in my life savings and buy a million watt transmitter and put an endless tape on 1370 between 11 and 2 every day which repeats over and over "Limbaugh is a goddamn queer" then I should be allowed to do that.
There aint nothing in the constitution that says the fucked up government has any authority over that.
Those retarded liberals made that happen. Fuck em.

Ayn Rand?

bob... the govt was primarily designed as an arbiter... the rest was designed as a tool.

The primary
reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political
structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own
dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human
god to eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss
their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies,
tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be
alright when they wake up in the morning.This public demand is
incredible, so the human god, the politician, meets incredibility with
incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is
the bigger liar? the public? or the "godfather"?
This public
behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It is the
basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a
disgusting public.


Action/Offense


Most people
want to be able to subdue and/or kill other human beings which disturb
their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral
and religious issues which such an overt act on their part might raise.
Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others (including their own
children) so as to keep the blood off their hands. They rave about the
humane treatment of animals and then sit down to a delicious hamburger
from a whitewashed slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight. But
even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional
association of hit men collectively called politicians, and then
complain about corruption in government.


Responsibility


Again, most
people want to be free to do the things (to explore, etc.) but they are
afraid to fail.The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility,
and especially in delegating those personal responsibilities to others
where success is uncertain or carries possible or created liabilities
(law) which the person is not prepared to accept. They want authority
(root word - "author"), but they will not accept responsibility or
liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them.


Summary


The people hire the politicians so that the people can:
obtain security without managing it.
obtain action without thinking about it.
inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate either life or death.
avoid responsibility for their own intentions.
obtain the
benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in the
discipline of facing or learning either of these things.
They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war machine to:
provide for the survival of the nation/womb.
prevent encroachment of anything upon the nation/womb.
destroy the enemy who threatens the nation/womb.
destroy those citizens of their own country who do not conform for the sake of stability of the nation/womb.
Politicians
hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police which are
soldiers, the attorneys and C.P.A.s next who are spies and saboteurs
(licensed), and the judges who shout orders and run the closed union
military shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are
industrialists. The "presidential" level of commander-in-chief is shared
by the international bankers. The people
know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own
taxes (consent), but they would rather knuckle under than be the
hypocrite.Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a
docile sub-nation [great silent majority] and a political sub-nation. The
political sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation,
tolerates it, and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to
detach itself and then devour its parent.

Our goose is cooked Romney or Obama....

I disagree. The Constitution is what the People of the United States agree too...

United States Constitution, Preamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

When the government no longer serves the people is when that government is no longer needed.
