Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

A coonskin cap and a little backwood's sensibility is what this country needs.

I posted a quote several weeks ago by Founding Father Thomas Jefferson pertaining to "democracy" that directly relates to our country's economic crisis and our government's involvement in it.

I found another quote that has just as much significance today as it did when it was spoken over 170 years ago:

"It is a precedent fraught with danger for the country, for when Congress once begins to stretch its power beyond the limits of the Constitution, there is no limit to it and no security for the people...the Constitution, to be worth anything, must be held sacred and rigidly observed in all its provisions."

- Colonel David Crockett, member of the U.S. Congress 1827-31 & 1832-35

Crockett based that statement on an encounter with one of his constituents while serving in Congress. The speech Crockett gave to Congress as a result of this encounter is known as the "Not Yours to Give" speech. You should read it.

Crockett later fought - and died - at The Alamo.

"Always be sure you are right, then go ahead."
- Davy Crockett
