From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict with each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time

Samuel Adams on the Tea-Party and the Debt-ceiling Debate

To those who understand Government’s first duty as ensuring our well-being (which is to say Democrats and those that vote for them), reflect on this:

 

"If ye love comfort better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, [then] go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands of your master. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"

 

--Samuel Adams, 1776

 

Surely, Sam Adams was the first Tea Partier…

 

“It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
