| Abortion is the low point
in the history of America. A nation that prides itself on
liberty has neglected to extend the most basic liberty to
the most innocent and defenseless among us. The right to
life is the right of all rights. Without the right to life,
there is no liberty. In the not too distant future, I believe
that the Supreme Court will rectify the worst decision it
ever made. The life span of Roe v. Wade and its progeny
is waning. One day we will look back on this time of history
since 1973 with shame and sorrow. -- Mathew D. Staver, President
and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon
in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will
and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon
our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon
that we as Americans do have. -- Ronald Reagan
A culture of entitlement without responsibility is not just a consequence of the welfare state, it is
pretty much the objective of the welfare state. -- Perry de Havilland
Adolescents accept, learn from and may emulate behaviors
portrayed in media as normative, attractive and without
risk. -- Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media
and Child Health at Children's Hospital in Boston/Harvard
Medical School
After reading the arguments in the Pledge of Allegiance
case before the Supreme Court, I am left with a question:
If we are not 'one nation under God,' what are we? -- Tom
Bray, 2004
A full-page ad in the New York Times, funded by a liberal
front group called DefConAmerica, screamed, "The religious
right is imposing its will on all Americans....That loud
noise you hear is the wall between church and state crumbling."
Wait a minute. Aren't Christians allowed to have a voice
in politics like everybody else, or has the First Amendment
been repealed? -- Charles Colson, Jul 2006
A government big enough to give you everything you want
is a government big enough to take from you everything you
have. -- Gerald Rudolph Ford (1913- ) US President
A great civilization is not conquered from without until
it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of
Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class
struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism,
her stifling taxes, her consuming wars. -- Durant, p. 665
A group of venture capitalists is in the process of developing
their own liberal radio network to counter conservative
shows like Rusk Limbaugh. They feel the liberal viewpoint
is not being heard -- except on TV, in the movies, in music,
by comedians, in magazines and newspapers. Other than that,
it's not getting out! -- Jay Leno, 2004
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow
man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
-- G. Gordon Liddy
A lie left unchallenged becomes the truth. -- Tom Gresham
Almost three-quarters of [federal agricultural]
subsidies go to 20,000 multi-millionaire play farmers
and blue-chip corporations. Farm subsidies are supposed
to help the farm belt. But there's a map of where the
subsidies go that you can find on the Internet. And
judging from the beneficiaries, the farm belt runs from
Park Avenue down Wall Street, out to the Hamptons, and
then by yacht over to Martha's Vineyard, which they
really ought to rename Martha's Barnyard. Among the
farmers piling up the dollar bills under the mattress
are Ted Turner, Sam Donaldson, the oil company Chevron,
and that dirt-poor, hardscrabble share-cropper David
Rockefeller. -- Mark Steyn, 29 Sep 2007 at
Hillsdale College
All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.
-- James Reston
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good
men do nothing. -- Edmund Burke
All people are born alike - except Republicans and Democrats.
-- Groucho Marx
A majority of Americans are not resentful of this country, or running around bitter, enraged, or angry. To the extent that those who are angry are angry, it's because of the incompetence of the government they have to deal with from federal, state, to local. It's not because government's not doing enough. It's because government doesn't do enough right. -- Rush Limbaugh, 17 Apr 2008
A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular
national group in America has not yet become an American.
-- Woodrow Wilson
America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work
within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.
--
Claire Wolfe
Americans are tolerant, generous and kind people. We
all oppose bigotry and disparagement, and we all wish to
avoid hurtful disregard of the feelings of others. But the
debate over same-sex marriage is not a debate over tolerance.
It is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage.
-- Mitt Romney, Governor of Massachusetts
Americans, especially parents, still have deep concerns
about the direction of our culture, and the health of our
most basic institutions. They are concerned about unethical
conduct by public officials, and discouraged by activist
courts that try to redefine marriage. -- George W. Bush,
US President, 31 Jan 2006
An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained
intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can
preserve that public virtue without which popular government
is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic
press will produce in time a people as base as itself. --
Joseph Pulitzer
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will
eat him last. -- Winston Churchill
Another plague upon the land, as devastating as the locusts
God loosed on the Egyptians, is 'Political Correctness.'
-- Charlton Heston (Moses)
Any alleged 'right' of one man, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another, is not and cannot be a right. -- Ayn Rand
Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience
of the U.S. media. -- Noam Chomsky (1928- ) US educator
and linguist
A people that values its privileges above its principles
soon loses both. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
A right delayed is a right denied. -- Martin Luther
King
As a result of 'evolving standards' and 'nuanced' judicial
decisions, we no longer have clear-cut rights. We have a
ticket to a crapshoot in a courtroom. That ticket is worth
a lot more to those with slick lawyers than to ordinary
citizens. -- Thomas Sowell
As it has always done, somehow Government, like some
monster from the past, has again outwitted the
freedom-loving masses and has convinced them that they
don’t need protection from Government, but from
everything else. And so the age-old beast our founding
fathers had tamed is once more banging at our door. --
Dave Duffy
As long as greed, stupidity and cowardice remain a part
of the human condition, there will be a constituency for
Democrats. -- Jack Kelly
As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in
excess of the demand. -- Josh Billings
A survey by the Pew Research Center shows that conservatives
are happier than liberals—in all income groups. While 34
percent of all Americans call themselves 'very happy,' only
28 percent of liberal Democrats (and 31 percent of moderate
or conservative Democrats) do, compared with 47 percent
of conservative Republicans. This finding is niftily self-reinforcing:
It depresses liberals. Election results do not explain this
happiness gap... Liberals have made this the era of surly
automobile bumpers, millions of them, still defiantly adorned
with Kerry-Edwards and even Gore-Lieberman bumper stickers,
faded and frayed like flags preserved as relics of failed
crusades. To preserve these mementos of dashed dreams, many
liberals may be forgoing the pleasures of buying new cars—another
delight sacrificed on the altar of liberalism. But, then,
conscientious liberals cannot enjoy automobiles because
there is global warming to worry about, and the perils of
corporate-driven consumerism, which is the handmaiden of
bourgeoisie materialism... And then there is—was—all that
rustic beauty paved over for highways... And automobiles
discourage the egalitarian enjoyment of mass transit. And
automobiles, by facilitating suburban sprawl, deny sprawl's
victims—that word must make an appearance in liberal laments;
and lament is what liberals do—the uplifting communitarian
experience of high-density living. And automobiles... You
see? Liberalism is a complicated and exacting, not to say
grim and scolding, creed. And not one conducive to happiness.
-- George Will, 2006
As we hear calls for a 'compassionate' response to the
victims of this [hurricane] tragedy, it is important to
remember that you can't be compassionate with other people's
money. This difference is as simple as the difference between
my reaching into my pocket for money to help someone in
need and my reaching into your pocket for the same purpose.
The former is charity—the latter is not. -- Michael Tanner,
Sep 2005
As you may have heard, the U.S. is putting together a
constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours?
Think about it -- it was written by very smart people, it's
served us well for over two hundred years, and besides,
we're not using it anymore. -- Jay Leno, 2005
At least when right-wingers rant, there's a point. --
Ann Coulter
A universal peace, it is to be feared, is in the catalogue
of events, which will never exist but in the imaginations
of visionary philosophers, or in the breasts of benevolent
enthusiasts. -- James Madison (essay in the National Gazette,
2 Feb 1792)
[A] wise and frugal government...shall restrain men from
injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to
regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement,
and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it
has earned. This is the sum of good government. -- Thomas
Jefferson
A wise man's heart directs him towards the right, but
a foolish man's heart directs him towards the left. -- Bible:
Ecclesiates 10:2
Be able to recognize when you're reading or hearing material
biased to your own side. -- Marilyn vos Savant
Beginning in the 1960s, liberalism, once the home of
many deep thinkers, began to substitute feeling for thought
and descended into superficiality. One-word put-downs of
opponents' ideas and motives were substituted for thoughtful
rebuttal. Though liberals regard themselves as intellectual—their
views, after all, are those of nearly all university professors—liberal
thought has almost died. Instead of feeling the need to
thoughtfully consider an idea, most liberal minds today
work on automatic. One-word reactions to most issues are
the liberal norm... Here is a list of terms liberals apply
to virtually every idea or action with which they differ:
Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Islamophobic, Imperialist, Bigoted,
Intolerant. And here is the list of one-word descriptions
of what liberals are for: Peace, Fairness, Tolerance, The
poor, The disenfranchised, The environment. These two lists
serve contemporary liberals in at least three ways. First,
they attack the motives of non-liberals and thereby morally
dismiss the non-liberal person. Second, these words make
it easy to be a liberal—essentially all one needs to do
is to memorize this brief list and apply the right term
to any idea or policy... Third, they make the liberal feel
good about himself—by opposing conservative ideas and policies,
he is automatically opposing racism, bigotry, imperialism,
etc. Examples could fill a book. -- Dennis Prager
Being a Christian means that I am called upon to do battle
against lies, injustice, cruelty, hypocrisy -- you know,
all the virtues in the church of liberalism. -- Ann Coulter,
2006
Between 1995 and 2005, the prison population grew by
30 percent, meaning an additional half million criminals
were behind bars, rather than lurking in dark alleys with
switchblades. You can well imagine liberals' surprise when
the crime rate went down as more criminals were put in prison.
The New York Times was reduced to running querulous articles
with headlines like "Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime
Reduction" and "As Crime Rate Drops, the Prison Rate Rises
and the Debate Rages. -- Ann Coulter, Godless: The Church
of Liberalism, 2006)
