Alexander Hamilton,
Federalist, 1st Secretary of the Treasury, August 18 1792:
"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune,
bold in his temper ... despotic in his ordinary demeanour, known to have
scoffed in private
at the principles of liberty, when such a man is seen to mount the hobby
horse of popularity,
to join in the cry of danger to liberty, to take every opportunity of embarrassing
the General Government & bringing it under suspicion, to flatter and
fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day, it may justly
be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may
“ride the storm and direct the whirlwind." |
Benjamin Franklin,
Independent, drafted Declaration of Independence and American Constitution,
September 17, 1787 (In response to Elizabeth Willing Powel's question: "Well,
Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"):
“A republic if you can keep it” |

Abraham Lincoln, Republican,
November 21, 1864:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country . . . . corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and
the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few
hands and the Republic is destroyed." |
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democrat, October 31, 1936:
"We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace; business and financial
monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism,
war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United
States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government
by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against
one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for
me and I welcome their hatred. I should like to have it said of my first
Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power
met their match. I should like to have it said of my second Administration
that in it these forces met their master." |
Dwight Eisenhower,
Republican, November 8, 1954:
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear
of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group,
of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a
few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman
from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." |
The Donald, Republican,
July 23, 2020:
"I said to the doctor, it was Dr. Ronnie Jackson. I said, “Is
there some kind of a test an acuity test?” And he said there actually
is and he named it, whatever it might be and was 30 or 35 questions. The
first questions are very easy. The last questions are much more difficult.
Like a memory question. It’s a like you’ll go person, woman, man,
camera, TV. So they’ll say, “Could you repeat that? So I said,
“Yeah.” So it’s person, woman, man, camera, TV. Okay that’s
very good. If you get it in order, you get extra points." |
