The last election, for example. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/9/13 re: Harry Browne quote And they charge you plenty for the crutch. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/8/13 re: Charles Dunoyer quote When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you always have Pauls vote. Until Peter runs out of money. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/8/13 re: Rick Gaber quote Me too, J Carlton. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/8/13 re: Alexis de Tocqueville quote The Libertarian party is the only party of principle. I gave up on the republicrats a while back. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/7/13 re: Sir John Harrington quote Short and true. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/7/13 re: Lawrence Hunter quote True. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/7/13 re: Cato quote If you could go to prison for treason, Obama, his cabinet,and 90% of both houses of congress would be serving life sentences right now. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/4/13 re: Edmund Burke quote These gun control facists come to mind when I read this quote. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/4/13 re: Alexis de Tocqueville quote Great quote and the last line pretty well sums it up. And once again J Carlton got it right. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/3/13 re: Jean-Francois Revel quote Right on J Carlton. The mindless slogan "Hope and Change" also comes to mind. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/3/13 re: Friedrich Nietzsche quote The first two lines of this quote pretty well sum up socialism. You could also say that liberalism is the identical twin of socialism. 5 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/3/13 re: Thucydides quote L Hanson, listen carefully as I shall try to make this so plain that even you will understand. Murders and robbery rates are much higher in states and cities with strict gun laws. The opposite is true where folks are allowed to carry guns.I don't know much about Canada but this is abundently clear here in the USA. 2 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/2/13 re: John Quincy Adams quote David, Hollywood, true and funny. E Archer, I agree with your comment. Sailorswind, interesting comment. I'm alwaya curious when someone wants to "turn to the Bible". Which part?? Maybe the part where "God" ordered the Israelites to kill everyone in a village including women and children. Maybe the part where you should have your children stoned if they disobey. Or perhaps the part where God got ticked off at the world He made and drowned everyone in a flood including innocent children, all except one family. Which part should we turn to? Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/2/13 re: John Kenneth Galbraith quote Right on Dick,Fort Worth. The "Bland" get that way in our union controlled public schools. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/1/13 re: Friedrich August von Hayek quote "No one in this world, so far as I know, has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. H.L. Mencken. Another Mencken quote which is always appropriate is this, "All government, in it's essence , is organized exploitation, and in virtually all of it's existing forms it is the implacable enemy of all industrious and well-disposed man." Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/1/13 re: Carrie Chapman Catt quote There are just laws, unjust laws, and too many laws. Among the worst laws of all is Asset Forfeiture, passed by our congress, which allows cops to steal your property without your having committed a crime. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 1/1/13 re: Alma Daniel quote I'll go with E Archer on this one. And perhaps this quote means that freedom is up to the individual , not from the government. 2 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/31/12 re: Bergan Evans quote Blake, what the heck are you talking about and do you live under a rock. Evolution is attacked all the time by fundamentalists everywhere. How about a little skepticism on creationism? A quote from the Buddha goes like this: "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense". People should be skeptical of and examine everything instead of just taking it on faith. This goes for politics, religion and the Bible. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/28/12 re: F. Scott Fitzgerald quote A good example of this is religion. People, especially fundamentalists tend to believe what they were taught as children by their parents and their church. They don't think or question very much but they do have faith and hope and do a lot of believing. Politics is another example. I vote democrat(or republican) because my dad voted that way. Recent elections are proof that a lot of voters aren't big on "thinking". Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/28/12 re: Frederick Douglass quote I'm with John Douglas on this one. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/27/12 re: Antoine De Saint-Exupery quote It's okay to think anything you want but you better keep it to yourself. The politically correct thought police are watching and lisitening. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/27/12 re: Mark Van Doren quote Maybe it's time to examine Obama's ideas before it's too late. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/26/12 re: Ludwig von Mises quote A process always messed up by government interference. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/26/12 re: French Saying quote Perhaps the world would run by itself if government would get out of the way. Previous 25 Next 25 SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
