This has been my sig-line on another forum for several years.......

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant:It's that they know so much that isn't true". Ronald Reagan

 

I thought this was dynamite, I've had it filed away for years. It was posted by a member of another forum in a thread about a Holocaust survivor that remained anti-gun..........

"A sheep is a sheep. A coward is a coward. A liberal is a liberal. You can confront people with facts, put the truth in front of them, kill their families even, and they may get mad, they may vow revenge or swear out justice; but in the end they are what they are. There are those who die on their knees begging God to deliver them, and there are those who stand up and ask God to "make them fast and accurate", that they may deliver themselves. You may find me dead in a ditch someday, but you will find me surrounded by a pile of brass!"

I hope you don't mind, I rewrote it to be more direct and concise. I hope you like it.

"There are those who die kneeling, praying for deliverance. Those who stand, asking that it be fast and humane.

Then there is myself.

Perhaps one day you will find me lying dead in a ditch. Surrounded by a pile of brass my fist clutches a well-worn iron friend -- my last stand of freedom from tyranny."

 

"It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.

I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget.

And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.

And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that.
If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."

 

Breslin, Jimmy
"The office of president is a ba$tardized thing, half royalty and half democracy, that nobody knows whether to genuflect or spit."

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

Alas, I too am a quote junkie...here are a few to ponder over:

The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

You can't say civilization isn't advancing: in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers (1879-1935)

We all know how stupid the average person is. Now realize that, by definition, fifty percent of the population is dumber than that.
Ivan Stang

In fact, one thing that I have noticed...is that all of these conspiracy theories depend on the perpetrators being endlessly clever. I think you'll find the facts also work if you assume everyone is endlessly stupid.
Brian E. Moore

In politics stupidity is not a handicap.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)

Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect"
