I was thinking about Neal's post "Who Is The Real Enemy" and was reminded of this great thought from Samuel Adams

So true, a few years ago a state senator visited one of my classes, and the one thing I remember was him telling the students that " the minority rule at the acquiescence of the majority"
Now he's the dem. candidate for governor.

Dang if those anti federalist were not correct.

It's a beautiful day, ocean, here I come
Edit: typo

Unfortunately for the last 100+ years, the "irate tireless minority" have been the dedicated Marxists.
Oh well, Who is John Galt?

And he was so right.

I had not heard this quote from Sam Adams. I'll toast my next ice cold Sam Adams to him. (Yes, I know that he has nothing really to do with the beer.)
