Quote for the day

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
Thomas Jefferson

"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy"
James Madison


A pair of Dead White Men who knew, first hand, about oppression.
But we don't teach their words much in schools anymore...
