"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
-Thomas Jefferson
and another one, just in case his position on the power of the people wasn't specific enough.
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Imagin if one our current politicians made a statement like these? Would the people support him, throw him out, or not believe him.

PS It would be funny to watch the new media go ape about a politician says one of these quotes.
