 
Pratt recommends Cuban Crafters highly. Don
Kiki cigars are great, consistent & a value.
"In doing your work in the great world,
it is a safe plan to follow a rule I once heard on the football field:
Don't flinch, don't fall; hit the line hard."
--Theodore Roosevelt
But where does that leave Democrats?
“[I]t doesn’t require expropriation or
confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a
people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed or the title to your
business or property if the government holds the power of life and death
over that business or property? Such machinery already exists. The
government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to
prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a
perversion has taken place. Our natural, inalienable rights are now
considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so
fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.”
—Ronald Reagan
“Liberty has never come from
the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The
history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a
history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.”
—Woodrow Wilson |
