"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.... This danger ought to be wisely guarded against." -- James Madison, Debates in the State Conventions
"Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong."

"Anything other than free enterprise always means a society of compulsion and lower living standards, and any form of socialism strictly enforced means dictatorship and the total state. That this statement is still widely disputed only illustrates the degree to which malignant fantasy can capture the imagination of intellectuals" -- Lew Rockwell, September 11 and the Anti-Capitalistic Mentality: An Interview With Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., for Frontpagemag.com, 2002

Q: “Madam Secretary, I grew up watching the Iraq war. I’ve seen many explosions and deaths for years now. I have to ask: Would America still be in Iraq if they didn’t have oil?”
A: “I think that… What is happening in Iraq is… very important on a number of fronts. And... we are going to be leaving Iraq and with our military, we will be leaving.”

Q:"What about ordering a village of resistants to be massacred? ... Is that a power that the president could legally exercise?"
A:"Yeah, although, let me say this: So, certainly, that would fall within the commander-in-chief's power over tactical decisions."
Q: "To order a village of civilians to be exterminated?" the OPR investigator asked again.
A: "Sure," said Yoo.

Political quote of the day: From a black female college student unhappy with the level of diversity at her state funded, URBAN school: "Nobody looks like me"
Cant post the link, but go to charletson dot net and look at most commented stories on right side of page for C of C "Nobody looks like me" article.
So, the STATE funded College of Charleston has hired a chief of diversity. In a state that is almost bankrupt, they have a state school paying someone to analzye the skin color of students to ensure its the right amounts of each color.
And this fine, educated, unbias, non-discriminating C of C student can't help but realize "No one looks like me". The college she sought out, she applied to, she WANTED to attend......then complains that she doesn't like that there aren't enough students and teachers of her race there.
And another fine, enlightened C of C student, if you scroll down to the comments section on the article, says it's just honest when she says that it's easier to learn from someone who looks like you, that it's hard sometimes to grasp information "just thrown at us" from someone that doesn't look like them.
Now, of course, I can't help but think what if a white student complained that it was difficult to learn from a black professor because "He doesn't look like me", or if a white student at an almost all black high school complained and demanded more white students or teachers.
I think MLK's dream was for a day to come when race no longer mattered. It seems that we are going backwards.....but suprisingly, many who refuse to progress in race relations seem to be the same ones MLK was fighting for decades ago. MLK fought for people of minority races to live in a society in which their race wouldn't matter.........and now we see more and more of these folks like the C of C "No one looks like me" girl who are obssessed to make sure their race matters above all else. Very sad.

The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community.
Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects – his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity.
– Henry Hazlitt
