How far we have come as a nation?  Our progress can be measured in two simple statements:

 

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
(Thomas Jefferson)

 

“It’s telling when governments fear the aspirations of their own people more than the power of any other nation.”
(Barack Obama)

 

And there are still those who wonder why Patriots weep.
