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

But I Never Learned to Reid!


Wow, there is a feminine hygiene product that describes Senator Harry Reid to a "t".  Yes, I know, that's a bit tacky.  But he is just awful.  The man unreluctantly equates enemies of communism to enemies of equal rights.  In his own words regarding the recent debates on health care communism: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right."  Really?  Can no one help this poor man?  And then, "When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."  In other words, since people wanted to slow down progression back then, it follows that people who want to slow down a really bad form of progression today must be evil.  Is there a lapse in judgment there, or is it just me?  It's the same old argument: "Anyone who thinks my ideas suck (and they do, Harry) must be prejudiced against blacks or maybe even women."  No Harry, just you.  I'm prejudiced against you.  So Harry, if you're ever thinking of jumping into a swirling lava-filled inferno, and I tell you to wait, slow down, think about it...by all means, don't listen to me, because I'm a conservative, and I wouldn't want to keep you from being progressive.
