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

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

    I hadn't read that one, thanks for posting.

    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.)

    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
