An awesome quote from our President

From President Washington. The guy on the green thing you leave as a tip at Starbucks. The guy my home state was named after. I caught this in an opinion piece by Glenn Beck:

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
President George Washington

(By the way, the Glenn Beck piece actually kinda sucks, but the Washington Quote is great.)
