"We The ISP" - our last bastion of FREEDOM
Some collect coins, others stamps but in the months prior to 9/11, I used the internet to collect quotes by great thinkers, like these:

"Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - Thomas Jefferson

"Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state." - Thomas Jefferson

"We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution." - Abraham Lincoln

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." - Abraham Lincoln

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." - H.L. Mencken

"The kind of man who wants the government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic." - H.L. Mencken




After 9/11 many quotes began to mysteriously vanish from the Internet but the wise sayings have returned with a vengeance, thanks to brave companies, like GOOGLE, which stood tall against tyranny and won. It appears bushie and his bullies can't bluff everyone into submission.

This morning, unlike past quests, my search for "We the people" online yielded a pleasant surprise. Last month, that phrase lead mainly to several sites offering the Preamble of the Constitution but it now leads to a sea of dissension. Here are two prominent examples:

The primary goal of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution is to promote civic competence and responsibility among the nation’s elementary and secondary students.

The Lawsuit To Restore Constitutional Order
OBJECTIVE: Reclaim Popular Sovereignty by Enforcing the "Long-Forgotten" First Amendment Right To Petition.


I even found a site that appears to promote a large scale tax revolt. Indeed, several very good video/audio clips regularly appear at DU but I believe you will find this link ranks among the most hard hitting. BTW, consider using "FLASH VIDEO" to view the clip and then cancel the download if you already have Macromedia Flash Player. The other options did not work with my computer.
This is a strong message.

Here is a revised version of of our Preamble, I call the NeoAmble:

We the Republicans of the United States, in order to form a more perfect police state, establish tyranny, insure domestic spying, provide run-away defense spending, destroy social programs like welfare, and steal the legacy of liberty, while building our personal posterity through bribes, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
