Do any of you know who made this statement?

John Adams and here is one I like: Arthur Balfour,:
The power of authority is never more subtle and effective than when it produces a psychological “atmosphere” or “climate” favorable to the life of certain modes of belief, unfavorable, and even fatal, to the life of others. Something Obamanuts should ponder!!!
'Twas the night before the election

And all through the town

Tempers were flaring

Emotions running up and down!

I, in my bathrobe

With the cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of all the political crap.

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise

That I peered out my window

And saw Barack and his boys

They had come for my wallet

They wanted my pay

To give to the others

Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money

And quick as a wink

Jumped back on his bandwagon

As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen

Who were pulling his cart

I could tell they were out

To tear my country apart!

' On Fannie, on Freddie,

On Biden and Ayers!

On Acorn, On Pelosi'

He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause

And as he flew out of sight

I heard him laugh at the nation

Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think

On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
