Thank you for exposing these Caesarists that want to "unite" Republicans by writing off any criticism. Nihil Novum.

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."(Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan)

'Which form of proverb do you prefer Better late than never, or Better never than late?'(LC)
-Jefferson said it best: "The tree of Liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-

Jefferson's quote is documented:
1787 Nov. 13.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure."
(Thomas Jefferson to W. S. Smith, B.12.356)
