Potent Quotables (updated periodically)

  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck
  • "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

If you close your eyes, they aren't really there

The party of "do-nothing" has done something, but it's not being talked about.

Obama and the democrats constantly deride Republicans as opposing liberal schemes over nothing more than *gasp* politics, but then say they "just want the status quo" and don't actually provide legislative alternatives. What a crock.

The latest in a line of proposals from the right side of the aisle, HR 2520, the Patient's Choice Act, was introduced May 20, 2009, but has languished in the House Ways and Means Committee ever since and will never see the light of day.

For one thing, it introduces tort reform, something Sarah Palin talked about yesterday. For a taste of what the 300 page bill includes (as well as a few more reasons why it won't ever be brought to the floor for a vote) see this article at The Moderate Voice.
