I'm not that far into it yet, but Karl seems to have refrained from the use of "colorful" language in the book. -Uwe- ---------- “Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” - John Locke 2011-10-10 09:58:24 Permalink*
Goforbroke Posts: 5340 Incept: 2007-11-30 Just call me 'Comrade'	Google is your friend. "Whig party" ... per Wikipedia ... Quote: The Whig Party was a political party of the United States during the era of Jacksonian democracy. Considered integral to the Second Party System and operating from the early 1830s to the mid-1850s,[1] the party was formed in opposition to the policies of President Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. In particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of Congress over the presidency and favored a program of modernization and economic protectionism. This name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of 1776, who fought for independence and because "Whig" was then a widely recognized label of choice for people who identified as opposing tyranny.[2] The Whig Party counted among its members such national political luminaries as Daniel Webster, William Henry Harrison, and their preeminent leader, Henry Clay of Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also nominated war heroes generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott. Abraham Lincoln was the chief Whig leader in frontier Illinois. ---------- We have met the enemy and it is us. -- Pogo 2011-10-10 11:29:58 Permalink
Briar Posts: 5377 Incept: 2008-02-07 Palm Springs, CA	Didn't Whigs believe in a strong central government? The "American Plan" was Henry Clay, who wanted to use federal money to make internal improvements nationwide (such as roads and canals). ---------- Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

Jstanley01 Posts: 8178 Incept: 2008-07-30 San Antonio, Texas	Quote: Whig history is the approach to historiography which presents the past as an inevitable progression towards ever greater liberty and enlightenment, culminating in modern forms of liberal democracy and constitutional monarchy. In general, Whig historians stress the rise of constitutional government, personal freedoms and scientific progress. The term is often applied generally (and pejoratively) to histories that present the past as the inexorable march of progress toward enlightenment. The term is also used extensively in the history of science for historiography that focuses on the successful chain of theories and experiments that lead to present-day science, while ignoring failed theories and dead ends.[1] Remarkably, Whig history has many similarities with the Marxist theory of history, which believes that humanity is moving (through historical stages) to the classless, egalitarian society of communism.[2][3] [url en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_history] ---------- You can't cheat an honest man. ~P.T.
