"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
George Washington.
"When all government, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the Center of all Power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
THOMAS JEFFERSON 1821- In a letter to Gideon Granger.

" ... There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more."
-- Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to the Federal Constitutional Convention, as recorded by James Madison on June 2, 1787. |

Republican politicians believe we must defend our national interests by roaming the world in search of trouble. And, somehow, almost anything that happens anywhere is cited as a threat to the national interest. Consequently, the Republicans keep us on the brink of trouble at all times.
The Libertarian Party will bring American troops home to America. We would remove us from the entangling alliances that Thomas Jefferson warned us against.
