  • These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power.

In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt's Speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 27, 1936.
