On Patriotism Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.---Thomas Jefferson "It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government" - Thomas Paine

On the Ecology A nation that destroys it's soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt

On the Patriot act and warrantless searches "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. --- James Madison 4th President (1809-1817) America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.---Abraham Lincoln

On Church and State The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries. ---James Madison 4th President (1809-1817)
