Quotes

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

-- C. S. Lewis

There is no safety for honest men but by believing all possible evil of evil men.

--Edmund Burke

Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again.

--Will and Ariel Durant


Certainly, it is a world of scarcity. But the scarcity is not confined to iron ore and arable land. The most constricting scarcities are those of character and personality.

--William R. Allen


This war was a revolution against the moral basis of civilization. It was conceived by the Nazis in conscious contempt for the life, dignity and freedom of individual man and deliberately prosecuted by means of slavery, starvation and the mass destruction of noncombatants' lives. It was a revolution against the human soul.

--Time, May 14, 1945

Nowhere at present is there such a measureless loathing of their country by educated people as in America.

--Eric Hoffer

From my earliest childhood I have been toiling & wearing my heart out for other people, who took all I could do & suffer for them as no more than their just dues.

--John Randolph

Alas, how many have been persecuted for the wrong of having been right?

--Jean-Baptiste Say

President Visit to Oklahoma

I ask myself why would the president come to Oklahoma? He didn't visit this state when he ran for president the first time so why do it the second time. Is it because he has a rival for his job who is challenging him? His Democratic contender is Randall Terry.

Could it be he is coming to Oklahoma because we are the reddest state in the union? Ya, we cling to our Bibles, our Babies, our Brains, our Guns, and our Freedom. We don't like socialism, communism, or any other ism. Not even Obamism.

Maybe he is coming here to try to lie to our students like he has lied to other students in the United States. Students, in order to understand Obama speeches the only rule you need is the rule of opposites. What ever he says turn it around and just the opposite is what he really means. If he says he wants to help create 2,000 jobs, then he wants to destroy 2,000 jobs. There is no mystery to understanding his speeches. It's easy. What ever he says that is positive, he means just the reverse.

Catholics please take note, you have two alternatives to Obama in the next election.

1. Republican Rick Santorum

2. Democrat Randall Terry

Women's Choice

I'm wondering if the women have a choice in any matter in Arab countries? Do they get to voice their wishes at all? Do men only get to say who is stoned? Do only men say who committed what sin? Why are men the only one to have a say in social matters? Why don't they ask the women if they want to be stoned? Who would volunteer to be stoned?

I just received a comment from someone in Asia who says that Americans should mind their own business in matters of stoning in other countries. Ya, I think we should keep all of our money here in America too. Other countries want our money, our technology, our help, but they don't want our way of life. If their way of like is working out so well why do they need our help? If you want to live like barbarians then don't ask our country for help. This person from Asia said American's were more violent than Arabs. I say, What Ever. Prove it. Give me the number of people who are killed, stoned, hands cut off, starved, beheaded in all the Arab countries. I'll tell you the same number of people killed, stoned, hands cut off, starved, beheaded in the U.S.

Long ago I worked for a man who was from Iran. The first day I was to start working at this company I parked my car and started to go inside. A woman in a car parked outside talked to me. She was his wife. She was an American. She told me to be careful and not insult him. I asked her why? She told me a story that made me sick.

She said that one day she was cooking rice on the stove. She embarrassed him in front of his mother and he picked up the pot of boiling rice and threw it in his wife's face. She asked me to never tell him what she had said and I assured her I wouldn't. I never told him what she confided in me. Months later this man told me the same exact story. I never told him I knew about it or that his wife had told me.

I have despised Arab men ever since. He didn't love his wife at all. He was only concerned with how he felt and what his mother thought.

I thank God I was not born in an Arab country. Thank you God that I was born in the U.S. where I'm free. Well at least for the time being I'm free. Well, mostly free. Free to pay taxes, pay more and more for the com government.
