Quote of the Day

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.” -Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, 1787


I wanted to share this powerful quote which is just as timely now as it was when it was written. This is a particularly relevant idea in today’s climate where we have Soros-backed “Good Information Inc” vs "misinformation from the 'do your own research' crowd."

Keeping this one short and sweet because truth can stand by itself.

Here’s a good quote from Abe Lincoln’s Gettysburg address…

“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom --
and that government
OF the PEOPLE,
BY the PEOPLE,
FOR the PEOPLE,
shall not perish from the earth."

"All truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed second it is violently opposed and third it is accepted as self-evident"

And there is a lot left to learn
