"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch."
"Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
I love the above quote which is usually incorrectly attributed to Ben Franklin. While I don't know who the author is, Barry Popik found the following in the Los Angeles Times, January 12, 1992:
"Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. Those rights are spelled out in the Bill of Rights and in our California Constitution. Voters and politicians alike would do well to take a look at the rights we each hold, which must never be chipped away by the whim of the majority."
I could not agree more. We, the voters, are the well-armed lamb contesting what has been going on in Washington by the wolves. Our weapons are the truth, the Constitution, the values this nation was founded upon. We intend to use our rights and freedoms to turn this nation around.
Each day I read of new voter fraud, illegals voting, states allowing non-Americans to vote while the military are deprived of their right to vote. This must stop and stop now. Political correctness will destroy this nation.

Those are pretty good. There was one i remember from a long time ago from a W. R. Inge - It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
