Quote by ~Samuel Adams~
"A general dissolution
of the principles and manners
will more surely overthrow the liberties of America
than the whole force of the common enemy...
While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued;
but once they lose their virtue,
they will be ready to surrender their liberties
to the first external or internal invader...
If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people,
they will never be enslaved.
This will be their great security."

By Christi Parsons and Laura King

Reporting from Istanbul, Turkey, and Ankara, Turkey -- When President Obama declared Monday that the United States "is not, and will never be, at war with Islam," he was addressing Turkey's parliament. But his audience was the wider Muslim world.

SOCIALISM ... Does it work?
This is an email forward that I received. It had no identifying name to to the content; however, it is good and I wish to share it on my blog...
A Lesson on Socialism
An economics professor said he had never failed a single student before but had,
once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked – and
that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer for all, for
society. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on
socialism.
He said all grades would be averaged and everyone would rece ive the same
grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the
grades were averaged and everyone was given a B. The students who studied
hard were upset, and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the
second test rolled around, the students who hadn’t studied much for the first
test had studied even less, and the ones who studied hard weren’t motivated to
study hard again, and they decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied
little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test
rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard
feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed… and the professor
told them that socialism they wanted would ultimately fail, as they had,
because the reward of success normally goes to those that work harder, but
when government takes the reward away; few will try so no one will succeed.
