There for a while, I thought I was caught in an endless loop in the quote generator. I kept seeing the same 15-20 quotes. Now, I'm sure that whatever was causing congestion is no longer. Today, I got a good one. It could have been better on July 4, but July 5 is just as cautionary...
"Your national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy -- a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages."
Sadly, these words of Frederick Douglass still ring all too true.
