Thoughts on Freedom and Justice

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever." --Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781

"The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Shelton Gilliam, 19 June 1808

My daughter found this scripture and asked me to post it.

21 ...That the mysteries and the works of darkness, and their secret works, or the secret works of those people who have been destroyed, may be made manifest unto this people; yea, all their murders, and robbings, and their plunderings, and all their wickedness and abominations (Obamanations), may be made manifest unto this people...

22 For behold, the Lord saw that his people began to work in darkness, yea, work secret murders and abominations (Obamanations); therefore the Lord said, if they did not repent they should be destroyed from off the face of the earth.
