America, now a Tyranny

Now that the U.S. is faced with the Death of Habeas Corpus: Freedom is now a distance memory. I am reminded of some favorite quotations


“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy”

and

“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation”

Both from this man

James Madison, American 4th US President (1809-17), and one of the founding fathers of his country. 1751-1836

    Very telling quotes! I came across an article called Disadvantages of Democracy in America that gives some detail on how Madison’s thoughts have been brought into reality.
