"This must be the place cause I don't see no other place around"
- Popye the Sailor
“[L]iberals can never abandon the idea that we must soothe savage beasts with appeasement—whether they’re
dealing with murderers like Willie Horton or Islamic terrorists. Then the beast eats you. There are only two choices with
savages: Fight or run. Democrats always want to run, but they dress it up in meaningless catchphrases like ‘diplomacy,’
‘detente,’ ‘engagement,’ ‘multilateral engagement,’ ‘multilateral diplomacy,’
‘containment’ and ‘going to the U.N.’ I guess they figure, ‘Hey, appeasement worked pretty well
with... uh... wait, I know this one... ummm... tip of my tongue...’ Democrats like to talk tough, but you can never
trap them into fighting. There is always an obscure objection to be raised in this particular instance—but in some future
war they would be intrepid! One simply can’t imagine what that war would be.” —Ann Coulter
"None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license." —John Milton
"While
the people have property, arms in their hands, and only a spark of noble spirit, the most corrupt Congress must be mad to
form any project of tyranny." —Rev. Nicholas Collin
"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."
—Thomas Jefferson
"If Americans loved judicial activism, liberals wouldn't be lying about what it is. Judicial activism means making up
constitutional rights in order to strike down laws the justices don't like based on their personal preferences. It's not judicial
activism to strike down laws because they violate the Constitution." —Ann Coulter
"A legislative act contrary to the Constitution is not law." —Justice John Marshall
"The more laws, the
less justice." —Marcus Tullius Cicero
"When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel
alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law." —Frederic Bastiat
Something To Think About
"The day before hurricane Rita hit Texas...I saw on TV something that disturbed me... It was a fat Texas guy swimming in
the waves off Galveston. He'd apparently decided the high surf was a good thing to jump into, so he went for a pre-hurricane
swim. Two cops saw him, waded into the surf and arrested him. When I saw it the guy was standing there in orange trunks being
astonished as the cops put handcuffs on him and hauled him away. I thought: Oh no, this isn't good. You'd have to be crazy,
in my judgment, to decide you were going to go swim in the ocean as a hurricane comes. But in the America where I grew up,
you were allowed to be crazy. You had the right. Sometimes you were crazy and survived whatever you did. Sometimes you didn't,
and afterwards everyone said, 'He was crazy.'... It is the government's job to warn and inform. That's what we have the National
Weather Service for. It is not government's job to command and control and make micro-decisions about the lives of people
who want to do it their own way." —Peggy Noonan
"Like so many other things in Washington, the word 'hearing' in the U.S. Senate has absolutely nothing to do with the
act of listening. It has everything to do with talking." —Rich Galen
Sad But True
"Expecting Republicans to curb spending when they're in power makes about as much sense as standing between Sen. Joe
Biden and a live mike." —Debra Saunders
"Meanwhile, rescuers in New Orleans have discovered a lower-than-expected 424 dead bodies or, as they're known to liberals,
'registered Democratic voters'." —Ann Coulter
"The Pledge of Allegiance was outlawed Wednesday over a misinterpretation
of the separation of church and state. What the Founders meant by banning a national church was to allow each state to establish
its very own religion. Under the original plan, Californians today would be swearing in court to tell the truth so help me
Self." —Argus Hamilton
"{President Bush} called the rebuilding of
New Orleans one of the largest reconstruction efforts the world has ever seen, second only to Cher" - Jay Leno
Hillary Clinton, contradicting herself regarding her opposition
to Judge Roberts :
"I do not believe that the Judge has presented his views
with enough clarity and specificity", she also says she hopes "that he will be the kind of judge he said he would be
during his confirmation hearing"
"Life is a corrupting process from the time a
child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears
life"
- Hillary Clinton mentor and role model Saul
Alinsky, Rules for Radicals
"George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of
occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self [sic] from power." —Cindy Sheehan
