Don't kid ourselves. We are not paying for the defense of Germany. We are paying for our soldiers to be there for our own selfish interests in empire, just as we are in over 800 military bases in over 100 foreign countries. 2Reply dick, fort worth 6/20/11 re: Robert A. Heinlein quote Right, They seem to be levied for the benefit of the very rich (who pay damned little of their fare share of it). 1Reply dick, fort worth 6/20/11 re: David Boaz quote I think most people who mention the Constitution to support dumb cases have not read the Contstitution, in this case not even the Preamble. Pull the document out and read the first words which include among the purposes of our government the words "promote the general Welfare." If you can't see energy and education as general welfare you are certainly in need of more understanding. Here's what John Adams had to say about that subject: "Government is instituted for the common good; for the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it." And for the sake of sanity itself will most of you writers look up the definitions of communism, fascism, and socialism? 2Reply dick, fort worth 6/16/11 re: Walter E. Williams quote Another meaningless quote. 3Reply dick, fort worth 6/16/11 re: Irwin Schiff quote A meaningless quote. 2Reply dick, Fort Worth 5/24/11 re: General David M. Shoup quote The comment above my name was not made today and perhaps never. If I did make this it was a long time ago and I have no idea to what quotation it applied. This is not the first time I have seen a quotation above my name that I had no memory of making, certainly not a current one. This is truly reprehensible. 1Reply dick, fort worth 5/19/11 re: Lord Acton quote Religion is the antithesis of liberty. Reply dick, fort worth 5/17/11 re: Thomas Jefferson quote If not with tax money, Cal, then what with? 6Reply dick, fort worth 5/12/11 re: Thomas Sowell quote Amen, Waffler. Only I would thank Goodness, not God. If there were a god we wouldn't have stupid quotations such as these three. 3Reply dick, fort worth 5/12/11 re: Ludwig von Mises quote Stay in there, Waffler. This is another opaque quotation. Sometimes the movement toward liberty and justice may be intiated by the few, but all the progress I am familiar with (such as abolition of slavery, child labor laws,minimum wage, etc., etc.) have only been brought about by a majority of THE PEOPLE. 1Reply dick, fort worth 5/12/11 re: Eric Hoffer quote Waffler knows the difference between intelligensia and plutocracy. If Hoffer had used the correct word his statement would have been right on. Reply dick, fort worth 5/6/11 re: John Holt quote another good one. 2 Reply dick, fort worth 5/6/11 re: Ignazio Silone quote On this we can agree. That's a good sign. 1Reply dick, fort worth 5/4/11 re: Unknown quote What a waste of time and words. 2Reply dick, fort worth 4/28/11 re: Paul Harvey quote What an inane, meaningless statement. 11Reply dick, fort worth 4/26/11 re: Sara Hammond quote meaningless and erroneous 3Reply dick, fort worth 4/25/11 re: Jacob G. Hornberger quote a real nut case. 3Reply dick, fort worth 4/25/11 re: Glenn Garvin quote So what's the problem? 14Reply dick, fort worth 4/25/11 re: Edward Zehr quote Anyone who equates socialism with fascism should go back to school. If Zehr had added that the corrupt poliltical establishment was controlled by powerful corporations he could have more accurately called it definitely fascistic. 1Reply dick, fort worth 4/22/11 re: James Dale Davidson quote I think the quotations being selected are strictly ad hominem. It's time some sensible remarks are offered. 1Reply dick, Fort Worth 4/21/11 re: Cecil Palmer quote A red meat quotation thrown out for the unthinklng. 1Reply dick, fort worth 4/15/11 re: Mark Twain quote I have read Mark Twain's work for more than 50 years and I have never run across this quotation. I have serious doubts about its authenticity. kt's remarks are right on the mark. And thank you, Waffler, for more realistic observations. 13Reply dick, fort worth 4/8/11 re: C. S. Lewis quote I want to thank Reston for his recognition of C.S. Lewis' shallow,demagogic approach to problems so familiar to the ultra religious and for emphasizing the inherent worth and dignity of all people. 2Reply dick, fort worth 3/17/11 re: Milton Friedman quote Sorry for the unthinking majority in this country. There's been nothing but free enterprise here and we're suffering from the lack of government control of it. Yes, I said Government control. I'm talking about real government, not the capitalists and enterprisers who have bought it out and own it completely. Mr. Kaushal is completely right. Another decade of free enterprise and we'll be another third world country. 5Reply dick, fort worth 3/11/11 re: David Boaz quote Total balderdash.
