Power corrupts the Republicans

Lord Acton's epic warning that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

     Historian Lord Acton (1834-1902) issued epic warnings that political power is the most serious threat to liberty.

=======================================

Has this warning ever had more relevance than to the current state of our national government?

If these scoundrels aren't run out of office and out of Washington, liberty is in danger.

=========================================

They that can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

==========================================

Great men and great thinkers have given us great advice. Are we smart enough to listen and act?
