My Favorite Quotes

I have these hanging on the wall next to my desk along with the Preambles to the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution as well as the best bits of The Gettysburg Address.

“A loosening of Morals leads to a hardening of hearts.”
Edmund Burke

“Turning the other cheek does not mean letting yourself get slapped around. Forgive but don’t let it happen again.” Me - if you knew my history, this is something I need reminding of.

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” Dr. Martin Luther King


“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, popular, or political; but because it is right.” Dr. Martin Luther King


“God is not merely interested in the freedom of brown men, yellow men, red men and black men. He is interested in the freedom of the whole human race.” Dr. Martin Luther King

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Dr. Martin Luther King

Galen Institute Releases Poll Showing Overwhelming Opposition to the Individual Mandate and Other Key Components of Congressional Health Reform Proposal

That's not stopping Pelosi. Pelosi Pushes Ahead With Calls for Government-Run Health Plan. The House Speaker is standing her ground on demands for a government-run plan, even as President Obama's advisers signaled over the weekend that the "public option" is just that -- desirable, but not mandatory in the massive health care overhaul being debated in Congress.

Pelosi's demands ain't helping her either. Only 34 percent of Californians approve of Pelosi's performance. Isn't that the same approval rating Hoover had when he left office?

POLITICAL CORRUPTION

How to steal from our troops: the annual defense budget raid

Justice concludes black voters need Democratic Party. The Department of Justice is interfering in local elections! Astonishingly corrupt.
The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black. [emphasis on racism mine.]

The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.

Several federal and local politicians would like the city to challenge the decision in court. They say voter apathy is the largest barrier to black voters' election of candidates they prefer and that the Justice Department has gone too far in trying to influence election results here.

Stephen LaRoque, a former Republican state lawmaker who led the drive to end partisan local elections, called the Justice Department's decision "racial as well as partisan."

"On top of that, you have an unelected bureaucrat in Washington, D.C., overturning a valid election," he said. "That is un-American."

The decision, made by the same Justice official who ordered the dismissal of a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia, has irritated other locals as well. They bristle at federal interference in this city of nearly 23,000 people, two-thirds of whom are black.

If this isn't a scary result of the corrupt political thinking in Congress and the White House these days, then you are a far braver person than me.
Like the failure of Obama to accept criticize (see Media Corruption), it is also a failure of Obama and Liberals to accept that people might disagree with your means while still hoping to achieve the same ends. Carville sees conservatives as alien creatures. Both Conservatives and Liberals want their children to have a better life, for everyone to afford basics like healthcare, food, homes, and jobs. The difference is that Conservatives want those ends to be achieved through freedom and personal responsibility and Liberals want the government to do it for you.

GOP Re-Evaluation



I think Republicans (well, all politicians really) need to ask themselves, are they going to fight what's wrong or compromise with it?

Are they going to stand up to evil or appease it?

Are they going to defend American values or destroy them?

Because this is the "Do Unto Others" moment. This is the time when conservatives need to ask themselves would I want these taxes inflicted on myself? Would I want to be in a government-run healthcare system? Do I want to pay more and more to tank up my car or warm my home?

Politics are personal. We Americans do NOT give our power to politicians, we LOAN it to them. And if we do not feel they are using the tools of power to our advantage, we have the right - no, the duty - to take our tools back and give them to someone else.

The TEA Party Protests are not a conservative movement, they are an American movement. The sooner the GOP realizes that they are no longer the voice of opposition to liberals but the appeasers and the compromisers to liberals, the better.

Now that is not to say the GOP should be (or is) the party of "No". A good idea is a good idea - no matter where it comes from. But the GOP should stop trying to meet the liberals halfway all of the time because if you keep going half way, sooner or later you end up all the way.

Republicans are no longer conservatives. And people whose bells are being rung by the TEA Party Protests are not necessarily conservatives or liberals but simply Americans who want their freedom, their liberty, and their ability to solve their own problems unsullied by government interference and politicians' grubby fingerprints.

If the GOP is smart, it will give itself a good slap and wake up. Americans do not want to go Left, they want to go in any damn direction they please. The GOP needs to do unto others what it would like done unto it. Otherwise, republicans and democrats may find themselves done in.

Fox v. Obama

Fox’s Volley With Obama Intensifying.

The above is from the New York Times which has become so disillusioned with Obama that Fox News is depicted as merely conservative and evil rather than Pure Evil because it doesn't bow before The One.

Sign of the times. WH communications director: Fox News operates as ‘a wing of the Republican Party.’

Of course, it is spectacularly stupid of Obama to pick a fight with a 24-Hour News Channel.

Obama is not the only stupid democrat around. Al Gore & The Death of Journalism

Oh and Pew validated Fox News' "Fair and Balanced" claim:
As for Dunn's complaint about Fox News' coverage of the Obama campaign, a study by the Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News' stories on Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative.

On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories -- a spread of 59 points.
