Quotation of the year
 

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

Julius Caesar

You sure he said that this year?

i thought it would be one of bush's quotes

My point exactly. Bush could have said it or at least is working off the same script.

No this is a Bush quote

"This would be easier if this was a dictatorship, as long I get to be the dictator."
