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

The Strength of America


The Senate is currently debating the gargantuan health care bill.  There are a million and one sad stories that bleeding heart liberals can come up with to tug on your heart strings.  But no amount of willful blindness will make this bill a good idea.  The strengh of America is at stake now.  You can watch C-SPAN for a mere 5 minutes and realize democrats in congress have completely forgotten that the strength of America is found in the independency of each American and not in his/her reliance on the state.  Ever since we fought for liberty against Great Britain, the strength of America was Americans.  Americans are strong, able, intelligent, and charitable.  The government's mothering is smothering.  We don't need them to save us from ourselves.  This bill, which is thousands of pages of ambiguous controls is nothing more than one small step for congress, one giant leap towards tyranny.  As Europeans are pulling themselves out of the fires of socialism, we are rushing headlong into the flames.

Check out Cornyn around an hour 17 on this CSPAN video.  Nice to see Obama's empty promises of transparency made more transparent.
