Preamble To The U.S. Constitution

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, 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."

Thomas Jefferson, March 4, 1801

[A] wise and frugal government... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.

Chicago Tribune Cartoon From 1934

By admin

This has been going around in email in-boxes for a while, but we thought we’d share it anyway.

Here is an editorial cartoon 75 years old! Seem familiar? Most all of us know what happened and how long it took to get things straightened out. Most of those in DC weren’t even born yet!

Look at this cartoon from 1934 and look especially carefully at the plan of action. Remember the adage, “Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it” Looks like we could be in for difficult times. Frightening. Could have been drawn yesterday. What has changed?

Editor’s Note: In the interest of full disclosure, the original copy of this cartoon was
very dark and hard to read; therefore,  it was brightened up and a few smudges were
removed, but otherwise this is the identical image.

John Adams, 1765

Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.
