"The Republican party still helps the rich and sticks a knife in the back of the poor." ~ Harry S. Truman
"Herbert Hoover once ran on the slogan, 'Two cars in every garage'. Apparently, the Republican candidate this year is running on the slogan, 'Two families in every garage'." ~ Harry S. TrumanIn 2022, Democrats need to be replaced by Republicans in Harry's statements to conform to today's reality.
"When the Liberals said they were going to create a million new jobs, I didn't think they were all going to be tax collectors." ~ Harry S. Truman
"I have little patience with people who take the Bill of Rights for granted. The Bill of Rights, contained in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is every American's guarantee of freedom." ~ Harry S. Truman
"Such an atmosphere is un-American, the most un-American thing we have to contend with today. It is the climate of a totalitarian country in which scientists are expected to change their theories to match changes in the police state's propaganda line." ~ Harry S. Truman
"Democracy maintains that government is established for the benefit of the individual, and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the individual, and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of the individual and his freedom in the exercise of his abilities." ~ Harry S.

"This is a Christian nation." ~ Harry S. TrumanHarry S. Truman
"We have gone a long way toward civilization and religious tolerance, and we have a good example in this country. Here the many Protestant denominations, the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church do not seek to destroy one another in physical violence just because they do not interpret every verse of the Bible in exactly the same way. Here we now have the freedom of all religions, and I hope that never again will we have a repetition of religious bigotry, as we have had in certain periods of our own history. There is no room for that kind of foolishness here." ~ Harry S. Truman
"The Republican Party can lead any person to believe that their promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line--no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth." ~ John F. KennedyIn 2022, here too, Republican should be replaced by Democrat to reflect today's reality.
"The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." ~ John F. Kennedy
"For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our Constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors." ~ John F. Kennedy
"Our nation is founded on the principal that observance of the law is the eternal safeguard of liberty and defiance of the law is the surest road to tyranny." ~ John F. Kennedy
"Every time that we try to lift a problem from our own shoulders, and shift that problem to the hands of the government, to the same extent we are sacrificing the liberties of our people." ~ John F. Kennedy
"Truth is a tyrant-the only tyrant to whom we can give our allegiance. The service of truth is a matter of heroism." ~ John F. Kennedy
"We cannot negotiate with those who say, 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable.'" ~ John F. Kennedy
"Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality." ~ John F. KennedyPatriotic Americans, let's take Kennedy's advice and act boldly to remove every Marxist Democrat we can from elected office in November.
"I remember when I first came to Washington. For the first six months you wonder how the hell you ever got here. For the next six months you wonder how the hell the rest of them ever got here." ~ Harry S. TrumanI, too, wonder how the hell most of them got to Washington!
