People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Democracy, which is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike

Equality and freedom are not luxuries to lightly cast aside. Without them, order cannot long endure before approaching depths beyond imagining.

Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

The equality that we are all entitled to, as citizens of this democracy, can't be avoided by some religious dogma of a President who's is supposed to believe in the notion of separation of church and state. And he frankly doesn't.
