Jimmy: You know what the worst kind of bad guy is, in my book? Somebody that would try to humiliate the father in front of his own daughter. His little girl.
…
Roy: Listen Jimmy, Ava’s like a daughter to me.
Jimmy: She’s not your daughter, she’s my daughter.
You’re right, uh, there was an imbalance on the opening statements because I’m the President and so I made, uh, I didn’t, I didn’t count my time in terms of dividing it evenly. President Obama, February 25, 2010, 11:43am EST.
I guess this explains why the time was 2 to 1 in for a “summit.”
The televised debate today between the parasites and those who want freedom will be taking place to day in Washington, DC. One can only hope that freedom prevails. If the “center” is between freedom and statism then who wants to be in the center? There is no “middle ground” between you and your enslavers. There is no middle ground between you and your destroyers.
One wonders why these people don’t want to take responsibility for themselves and expect to be treated as children who need to be taken care of by someone else.
Saying “no” is a moral imperative to protect the freedom guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Saying “no” is admirable if it is pro-liberty. Compromising your principles when the result is a loss of freedom for the country is immoral and a violation of Congress’ oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
“He says ‘I’m for clean coal,’ and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn’t say it in here. And he doesn’t say it in the minds of my own people. And he’s beginning to not be believable to me.” ” Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. RealClearPolitics.com
The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it. Militarily. They also lead economically but they’re getting weak. But they don’t lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope.
Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record its my least favorite quality. It doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you are kind amazing things will happen. I’m telling you, amazing things will happen. Its just true.
Conan O’Brien, January 22, 2010, ending his run on The Tonight Show
The Washington Post today reports that the FBI collected more than 2000 telephone call records between 2002 and 2006 illegally. Yet again, it is shown that the government can not be trusted to follow its own laws and absolute power corrupts absolutely. When will the people learn that the Founders knew what they are talking about? They knew the only way to preserver liberty was to limit the powers of government.
“The glory of this land has been its capacity for transcending the moral evils of our past. For example, the long struggle of minority citizens for equal rights, once a source of disunity and civil war, is now a point of pride for all Americans. We must never go back. There is no room for racism, anti-Semitism, or other forms of ethnic and racial hatred in this country.”
Ronald Reagan
