"You Lie!"
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C,
09 September 2009

"Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem."
Ronald Reagan,
First Inaugural Address
20 January 1981


"Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of government employees. Upon employees in the federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people ... This obligation is paramount ... A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent ... to prevent or obstruct ... Government ... Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government ... is unthinkable and intolerable."
Franklin D Roosevelt


"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."
Benjamin Franklin

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."
Abraham Lincoln

"Any nation that thinks more of its ease and comfort than its freedom will soon lose its freedom; and the ironical thing about it is that it will lose its ease and comfort too."
W. Somerset Maugham


"We trained hard -but it seemed that every time that we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing. And what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization."
GAIUS PETRONIUS ARBITER,
Satyricon
(It wasn't really written by Gaius Petronius, but I like it anyway...)


WHY A SHIP IS CALLED SHE
A ship is called a "SHE" because there is always a great deal of bustle around her; There is usually a gang of men about her, She has a waist and stays; It takes alot of paint to keep her looking good; It is not the initial expense that breaks you, it is the upkeep; She can be all decked out; It takes an experienced man to handle her correctly and without a man at the helm she is totally uncontrollable. She shows her topsides, hides her bottom and, when coming into port, always heads straight for the buoys.
Capt. Fraize, USN
Frigate USS Essex


"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianty"
Ann Coulter

I Am A Bad American
George Carlin did not write this, but...

 I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American.

 I like big cars, big hooters, and big paychecks.

 I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel  governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts squirting out babies.

 I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you'd better do it in English.

 I'm not in touch with my feelings and I like it that way.

 I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

 I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where does he get his money & why is he always part of the problem and not the solution?

 I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster. In fact, if your parents are footing the bill to put your pansy tail through 4-7 years of college, you haven't begun to be enlightened.

 I believe it's called the Boy Scouts for a reason.

 I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

 I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular opinions or actions.

 I think fireworks should be legal on the 4th of July.

 My heroes are John Wayne, the Simpsons, and whoever canceled Dr.  Quinn, Medicine Woman.

 I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

 I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time arguing about it.

  I think global warming is a big lie. Where are all those experts now, when I am freezing my butt through a long winter?

  I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I didn't wander forty years  in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt, I haven't burned any  witches or  been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you, so shut up already.

  I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you're running from them. I also think they have the right to pull your ass over if you are breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

  I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want  you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation of the world  for the next four years.

  I think if you are in the passing lane, and not passing, your license  should be revoked, and you should be forced to ride the bus until you  promise to never delay the rest of us again.

  I think Dr. Seuss was a genius.

  If that makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
