Being professional is being professional when everyone else around you isn't.
Hatzofeh, an Israeli newspaper
It is as though the French foreign minister were to meet (American)
Indian chiefs who claimed to have been dispossessed of their land,
and who were now getting organized with money provided by the Cuban
ruler Fidel Castro.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for
lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb protesting the vote.

The Internet is a medium, being neither rare nor well done.

When God divides by zero, it damn well divides, physics be damned.

The gay issue is not the real issue, the real issue is:
Does the Bible mean what it says, or can you make it mean whatever
you want?

Rush Limbaugh
As far as the liberals are concerned, the objective is power. More
and more people must become reliant on the government, whether they
like it or not, and fewer and fewer people must be compelled to pay
for it, whether they like it or not. And slowly but surely what you
do here - you wipe out the middle class, you replace it with an
elite which exercises control over the many. The middle class is
wiped out with a combination of carrots, which increases reliance on
big government programs, and smothering tax and regulatory schemes,
which destroy enterprise, prosperity, and liberty. So no matter how
many white papers or briefing papers or arguments that are amassed
to prove the wrong-headedness of a new entitlement program, they
fall on deaf ears on the left because the left's goal is not to run
an efficient bureaucracy that serves the public. That's what they
want you to believe; that's how they market their agenda. Their goal
has nothing to do with the efficient or the just delivery of
services. It is about control and about power.

Connoisseurship is indeed a brilliant cloak for depravity: Don a
lofty external disguise to mask a degraded internal character.

on the French.
Charles Krauthammer
If you look at where we are today and compare it to where we were on
the day the Clinton Administration left office: we've removed the
Taliban from power in Afghanistan; we've removed from power Saddam
Hussein; we're removing our troops from Saudi Arabia; we've
established new bases in the Gulf in stable, small countries; Jordan
is secure; Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon are acquiescent and very
quiet; and there's a revolution under way in Iran. I've named every
country between Afghanistan and the Mediterranean. This is the most
dangerous, hostile region in the world -- and it has been remarkably
changed. And I should add there's also a peace process in the Middle
East.

Saddam and Osama must not exist. Why? Because they cannot be
found. And, as we all know from witnessing the recent
hyperventilation about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, if
something can't be found, it must not exist.

Al Sharpton
The Democrats shouldn't be talking about getting more blacks in high
places, but instead getting the right blacks in high places. If we
doubt that, just look at Clarence Thomas. Clarence Thomas is my
color, but he's not my kind.

Ronald Reagan
The Democrats may remember their lines, but how quickly they forget
the lessons of the past. I have witnessed five major wars in my
lifetime, and I know how swiftly storm clouds can gather on a
peaceful horizon. The next time a Saddam Hussein takes over Kuwait
or North Korea brandishes a nuclear weapon, will we be ready to
respond? In the end it all comes down to leadership, and that's what
this country is looking for now
