James Madison:

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments."

Today:

We do not take responsibility for our own actions. We don't take responsibilty. We rely on government.

There is no god. Obama is god. Money is god. Gov't is god.
