But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.
Will Rogers

Will Rogers
Ammunition beats persuasion when you are looking for freedom.
Will Rogers
I guess there is no two races of people in worse repute with everybody than the international bankers, and the folks that put all those pins in new shirts.
