Free at last! Free at last! Praise God I'm free at last!
John Lewis:
We live in a country where we're supposed to have freedom of the press and religious freedom, but I think to some degree, there's a sense of fear in America today, that if you say the wrong thing, what some people will consider what is wrong, if you step out of line, if you dissent, whether you be an entertainer, that somehow and some way this government or the forces to be will come down on you.
Hubert Humphrey:
The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.
James Baldwin:
Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.
Jean-Paul Sartre:
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
Frederick Douglass:
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow. Better even to die free than to live slaves.
Frederick Douglass:
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.
Gloria Steinem:
The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizen's skin.
Goethe:
None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.
Erich Fromm:
Human history begins with man's act of disobedience which is at the very same time the beginning of his freedom and development of his reason.
Eleanor Holmes Norton:
The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with.
C. Wright Mills:
Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them -- and then, the opportunity to choose.
Carl Shurz:
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
Abraham Lincoln (attributed):
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act, as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference prevails today among human creatures.
Albert Einstein:
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
Aldous Huxley:
Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
My gawd, boys a girls, this place has gone to hell and a handbasket during my vacation. Over the last three weeks, I've been reading....and it hasn't been pretty.....I had to just turn the dang 'puter off, most nights.....so boring....so PC....so like eating oatmeal without any flavoring....even without any butter......YUCK......leaves a bad taste in your mouth.....you kids are floudering and without leardership...it's my job to man the rudder and get this thing back on track......
So here we go, boys and girls, let's make the old charge up San Juan Hill together and get this ship back on it's course...take this board back.....put some life into it.......raise our voices and speak our minds.....
(within reason...of course) :D

Whoa now.....I mever said Obama was all that stuff, I just said I didn't agree with his policies or methods.....I think he pretty much wants the same thing I do, he just wants to get there a different way and has a different idea of what the USA should be and what government should be.
I think with his weakened stances on, meaning he's back tracking on campaign promises, on Afghanistan, Iraq, naming names and prosecuting the Bush admin, his concessions about the economy and the stimulus, not releasing the POW pics and facing charges from the far left of not being transparent, like he promised in the campaign, etc., he's finally realizing that being the POTUS isn't as cut and dried as he thought it would be and Bush made decisions that he thought were right at the time.....20/20 hindsight is good for critics and not much else.
