Its time for impeachment, what, I can't hear what you are saying.

Underscoring the subtle power of truth.

Sort of like when a bureaucrat says that he's from the government and only wants to help you.

Of course we want to preserve your rights as Americans...right up until we announce that the US is a mere province of the Global Global Government. Go back to sleep America, your Government has everything under control. ;)

I also like this other Emerson quotation: "Dont say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary." From: http://quotationsbook.com/quote/44938/#ixzz1HfYQYa9T on Quotations Book

Byron, I also like that other quote. Both of them fit today's political arena. The so-called liberal elite - the highly educated liberal - still doesn't understand that the American people can see right through them. They don't seem to comprehend that their actions don't match their words, but everyone else sees and disaproves.

This proves most politicians absolute liars.
