Re: Quotes attributions
“Any government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.”
~Various sources attribute this quote to Jefferson, Gerald Ford, Barry Gold Water, as well as Colonel David Crockett, Congressman, 1827-1835
Another of my favorite quotes:
“My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans, how do you know if you are a Republican? Well, I will tell you how:
“If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a Republican.
“If you believe that a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group, then you are a Republican.
“If you believe that your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does, then you are a Republican.
“If you believe that our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children, then you are a Republican.
“If you believe — If you believe that this country, not the United Nations, is best hope for democracy, then you are a Republican.”
~California Governor Arnold Shwarzenegger
