person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
-- Mark Twain |
A
government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong
enough to take everything you have. -- Thomas Jefferson |
You don't quit baseball because you
get old, you get old because you quit baseball. -- Roy Hobbs

"Political Correctness"
"Political
correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick
up a turd by the clean end." |
You spend a good piece of your life
gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other
way around all the time.

If you go to the middle east
looking for oil, you don't need to stop in Israel, but if you go
looking for brains, energy, and integrity, it is the only stop.
--Warren Buffet, 2010 |
The reasoning mind cannot work
under any form of compulsion, it cannot
be subordinated to the needs, opinions or wishes of others. It is
not
an object of sacrifice. The creator stands on his own judgment,
the
parasite follows the opinion of others. The creator thinks, the
parasite copies. The creators concern is the conquest of nature,
the
parasites concern is the conquest of man.
--Howard Roark

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and
to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what
has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the
Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will
be anarchy throughout the world.
--Daniel Webster
|
To
sin
by silence when they should protest
makes cowards of men.
-- Abraham Lincoln |
Does
the government fear us? Or do we fear the government? When the
people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal
government is our servant, not our master!
--Thomas Jefferson |
Freedom is never more than one
generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought
for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
--Ronald Reagan |
An
appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile hoping
it will eat him last.
-- Winston Churchill |
SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN THE LAST
2065 YEARS ????? "
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed
lest
Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of
living
on public assistance."
--CICERO, 55BC
EVIDENTLY, NOTHING |
The
course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty
decreases.-- Thomas Jefferson
A government big enough to
give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from
you everything you have.
--President Gerald Ford

To
compel a man to furnish
funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful
and tyrannical.
--Thomas Jefferson |
There
is no distinctly native
American criminal class except Congress. --Mark Twain |
Every
government degenerates
when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves
are its only safe depositories. --Thomas Jefferson |
| I
think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy
in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I
traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more
public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for
themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less
was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became
richer. --Benjamin Franklin |
“Make
the lie big, make it
simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” - Adolf
Hitler |
Where
goods and services don't cross borders, armies will. -Bastiat |

If
the freedom of
speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to
the slaughter."
