James Madison

James Madison said this, apparently

If you are having trouble reading the bumpersticker, here's the text:

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

 

I don't feel too obligated to comment, as for me, at least, these words speak for themselves. Let me just say that I think Pres. Madison would be shocked at how much the Federal Government has changed since he wrote those words.
