Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him, who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust, in the best way, all our present difficulty.

Tickler on Spreading The Wealth
The Socialist believes in ‘spreading the wealth around’. His methods require an overlord, with naive good intentions, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, but based on tried and failed principles of socialism. The Capitalist, by tried and proven principles of capitalism, knows that the result of staying clear of the machinery of business, and instead stimulating it, will allow business to spread wealth automatically without the overlord, the theft, and without the resentment.

Shep Smith on Democrat Congressional Leaders
Looks like the markets has had a bit of an uptick in the last few minutes. Seems like the downturn happened when the (democrat) congressional leadership was speaking, and the uptick came when they finally shut-up.
Michelle Malkin on Obama as “Community Organizer”
Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors’ lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Obama’s brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan nonprofits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.
What deserves derision is “community organizing” that relies on a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.
Donald Rumsfeld on Al-Qaida
(for all his shortcomings, this comment is one of the greatest truths to enter popular conversation following 9/11)
“[their specialty is] destroying things they could never have built themselves using technologies they never could have developed themselves.”
General Dwight D. Eisenhower to the boys on D-day.
You will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely….The free men of the world are marching together to victory. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory. Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
Thomas Jefferson on Truth
“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
