    We don't learn from history, do we?

    "When fascism comes to America it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
    - Sinclair Lewis

    "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
    - James Madison

    "Of course the people
    don't want war. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who
    determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the
    people along. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked
    and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the
    country to danger."
    - Hermann Goering

    "The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one."
    - Adolf Hitler

    "What luck for rulers that men do not think."
    - Adolf Hitler

    "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little
    temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
    - Benjamin
    Franklin

    "I
    believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties
    than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks
    to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by
    deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the
    banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children
    wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing
    power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to
    whom it properly belongs."
    - Thomas Jefferson
