Founders Quote

 

"A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal." --John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

My Take

 

"Our Founders gave us a constitution that was founder on the principles that introduced knowledge among people, and inspired us with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation took place, and caused good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general.  That elevation of government, made the common people brave and enterprising.  That ambition that inspired by making them sober, industrious and frugal.

 

Why are we giveing this up for materialism, and now seem willing to accept a government that Controls All People and all Things, a Progressive/Marxist & Islamic Government to be our Fate, or will we act to recover our Constitutional Republic of America? ? ?" ,
