America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln.
Where an excess of power prevails, prosperity of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions. James Madison.

These men were absolutely correct in what they wrote. But they also were predicting that which we are experiencing today under the Obama administration. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.
