Founding Fathers Quote

Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?

James Madison

Those are 'constitutional' rights, as in United States Constitutional rights. Just wanted to point that out, liberals. Your proposals are for another 'place,' not here in America. Go there and leave us here to govern ourselves.

Isn't it sad that you have to point that out?
