Laudato Si
A few quotes from the wise:
“What is most frightening about the political left is that they seem to have no sense of the tragedy of the human condition. All problems seem to them to be due to other people not being as wise or as noble as they are.”
– Thomas Sowell
“The word “good” has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.”
– Gilbert Keith Chesterton
“Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Muammar Qaddafi and Vladimir Putin have all praised Barack Obama. When enemies of freedom and democracy praise your president, what are you to think? When you add to this Barack Obama’s many previous years of associations and alliances with people who hate America– Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfleger, etc.– at what point do you stop denying the obvious and start to connect the dots?”
– Thomas Sowell
“Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with,
where he ends up, and ask yourself, ‘Is it reasonable?’”
where he ends up, and ask yourself, ‘Is it reasonable?’”
– Richard Feynman’s father
“When their married president Bill Clinton had sex with an intern, the liberal media told us that every man in America, fathers, clergy, coaches and whomever would behave as Clinton did if given the opportunity. To defend Clinton, the liberal media sacrificed the morals and character of all men, in essence proclaiming,”All men are dogs”.”

“When politicians propose some hugely expensive new program and are asked how the government is going to pay for it, a standard ploy over the years has been to claim that they will pay for it by eliminating “waste, fraud and abuse.” At a recent town hall meeting, a citizen raised the obvious question: If you can do that, why haven’t you done it already?”
– Thomas Sowell

- Identical unemployment numbers seen as bad under Reagan are seen as good under Obama.
- Sowell on politicians’ use of magic numbers to justify passing bills.
- Moore blew it in Capitalism by failing to define what capitalism is before accusing it of being evil. Roh-roh! Minor details…

Orly Taitz just got rule 11 sanctioned in her birther lawsuit. I am pretty sure the woman deserved it. And deserves some medication (not to advertise for Joy Behar, but I’m just sayin’):
Noam Chomsky has a GREAT point on how money drives votes in this country:
Then he turns around and whips out typical lame Nazi-likening rhetoric:
MSNBC is unbiased news:
‘Corrupt’ is the best word to describe our Congress today:
