Quote of the day

Roland — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:57:41 +0000

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

-Dr. Adrian Rogers

Ah, yes, the Democrats show us just how much they believe in Freedom as they force you to buy insurance or go to jail.

Hey! Mark Elrod! How is that “tolerance” you say Democrats believe in so strongly working out for ya?

Contempt for the Constitution

Here is Nancy at her finest:

The exchange with Speaker Pelosi on Thursday occurred as follows:

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a ”serious question.”

Fox News is not “News”

Oh, you gotta know the Liberal whiners are just loving this:

What Obama doesn’t say

Roland — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:19:49 +0000

From the American Thinker:

1. Not everything is a federal issue; some things are for the states to decide.

2. I hear what you’re saying and you have a good point.

3. One of the beautiful things about our constitution is the liberty given to individuals to pursue their dreams. There is great opportunity in our country to succeed.
4. In an effort to stimulate job growth and despite the objections from my party, I am working with Congress to reduce taxes for small businesses.

5. I am saddened by the cycle of poverty that exists in our major cities, and here is a way we can empower the next generation to break the cycle and fulfill their God-given potential….

6. The folks at the town hall meetings and those who came to Washington on 9/12 were exercising one of the greatest rights we have as Americans, freedom of speech.

7. Stop already with all forms of ‘cult of personality’ behavior. I am a public servant, just like all those who have served before and all who will come after my term is complete. It’s not about me, it’s about the country.

8. I heard a great message Sunday morning at church.

9. History teaches us that evil exists in the world; for this reason the United States must remain strong, ready to defend itself and its allies.

10. I didn’t realize a communist was part of my administration. It won’t happen again.

11. The billions siphoned out of health care into lawyers’ pockets never healed a single person.

12. No other country on earth offers its citizens the opportunity to pursue life, liberty, and happiness as does the United States of America.

13. The experts have looked at the proposed (fill-in-the-blank) program, and when it is extrapolated out beyond just the initial offering there is clear evidence it will cost too much money and will eventually fail.

14. I disagree 100% with the Cloward-Piven strategy of increasing the welfare rolls and overwhelming the financial system, and I am not affiliated in any way with the implementation of such an idea.

15. I don’t know the answer to your question but I will give it some thought.

16. The goal of my presidency is not to implement a political ideology, but to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

17. Every person has value regardless of age, gender, color, physical characteristics, or any other factor.

18. Any healthcare bill I sign must include a provision to exclude the rationing of care, keep the door open for competition among insurers, and promote the opportunity for our young people to pursue an education in the medical fields to ensure future supply meets future demand.

19. It is important for legislators to remember that what helps someone in the short-term may actually hurt them in the long-term, and we must avoid this kind of scenario.

20. It has become clear to me after meeting with military experts that their recommendations should be implemented in our current situation; this is not an area in which politics can be allowed to interfere.

Ignorance is bliss

Maybe these women came from the same family of the woman who, back during the campaign, said she was voting for Obama because he was going to pay her mortgage and gas money:

Of course, I think that several people who post to this site and several popular ministers and college professors are also under the belief that more Govco is best for everyone. They pretty much say the same thing as these women. Sad. Really sad.

For what?

Roland — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 11:43:49 +0000

So, Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. For what? I mean, do you know when he was nominated for it? Two weeks after he took office. TWO WEEKS. What did he do in those two weeks time to win this award? All this is is a repudiation on the Presidency of Bush. That’s all.

What this really does is taint the whole process and questions the integrity of the committee.

What a joke.

Remember, boys and girls, when someone from your team is shown to be corrupt, just give him/her a pass. Like the Democrats.

Where, oh where are the loyalists and supporters and defenders? Down in the bunker, hiding like our favorite Political Science Professor from down south?
