Quotes

“You know how to solve political correctness? Don’t do it.”~Brad Stine

"Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive."~Author Unknown

"The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right -- it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society."~ Pope Benedict XVI

"I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away."~Thomas Jefferson

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."~Benjamin Franklin

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."~Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria

"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."~C.S. Lewis

Christmas

Well, it's that time of year again. Green and red everywhere, Santa posted all around, carols about Christ's birth being sung, and, inevitably, people claiming that millions are offended by Christmas. OK, so obviously only people who don't celebrate Christmas can be offended by it. But how many people in this country don't celebrate Christmas or Hannukah or whatever religious? Three? Or is that too high an estimate? Anyway, what's the real reason they're offended? The reason is that it's a holiday celebrating God, and they (who are "they", anyway?) are offended by Him (why are people offended by God?). Who's stupider, a guy who believes in the God he can't see, or the guy who is offended by that very God Whom he doesn't think exists? Think about that for a second. And which part of this Godly rhetoric offends you more, "Peace on Earth", or "Good will toward men"? Or maybe, is it the all the Love and Joy spreading around in this season? Or the pretty colors? Do references to Green and Red offend you, as well as white and black? Do you think martians will be offended by seeing their skin color? Wait, hang on, martians don't exist, so they can't be offended; sorry, my bad. Here's something for liberals to chew on: "You know what offends me? Offended people."~Brad Stine. If you find references to a Little Baby coming and saving us from ourselves offensive, you can just shut up. The Freedoms of Religion and Speech are mine too, so I can believe what I want. But wait, on that Baby note, is it offensive to you that the Baby was born? Since apparently you want to kill them all when they are unborn babies; I don't use zygote, embryo, or fetus as reference names for the babies: it's dehumanizing. Which sounds more politically correct, "I killed an unborn baby" or "I terminated the fetus"? It's a baby, not a science project.

Remember 9-11

I will never forget the 3,000 innocent deaths. Will you forget them? I will never forget the men who have sacrificed themselves to protect my freedom, my rights, and my life; they paid with their lives. Will you forget them? I will never forget the people slaughtered brutally by a genocidal dictator. Will you forget them? The world will forget many things, but this I pray, that the people who died on the 11th of September and the soldiers who died afterwards will always be remembered, for as long as the Red, White, and Blue flies proud and strong. Osama, we're coming for you!
