"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of
private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic
state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism--ownership of government by an
individual, by a group, or by any controlling private power."

Thou shalt not tolerate political decenters, nor freedom and democracy.


It is not in my version of the Bible, but I believe that the right wing
has a specially doctored copy that they use.

Out of curiosity which phrase, psalm or commandment out of the Bible
was the U.S. Constitution based on?

PS 144:1 God is praised as the one who trains hands for war and fingers
for battle

I guess I phrased the question wrong; where exactly is PS 144:1 in the
CONstitution? PS ###:# (anything) for that matter?

Sorry, not in there, not in the U.S. Constitution anyway, not even the one
word "master" is in there, no "Mammon" either...care to try again?
