Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/7/12 re: Yogi Berra quote I was a real Yankee fan backwhen they had Dimaggio, Yogi, Mickey, and all the rest. Those were simpler times when you worried about your teams chances, not whether the country was going over a financial cliff of some sort. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/7/12 re: Calvin Coolidge quote This is something our congress doesn't seem to know. Obama knows this but he likes people out of work so more can go on welfare. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/7/12 re: Ashleigh Brilliant quote 5 stars for humor which we will badly need for the next 4 years. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/6/12 re: Justice Louis D. Brandeis quote Not anymore with King Obama and the usual suspects running things from Washington. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/6/12 re: Walter Bagehot quote It's those damn true believers that cause most of the trouble. They always want to tell everyone how to live their lives and they always make matters worse. A great example was alcohol prohibition in 1920 and the current War on Drugs, which is really a war on people. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/6/12 re: Lysander Spooner quote J Carlton, you got it right. Reminds me of a true story about a lady who was always chiding her preacher about his smoking. He finally got fed up and told her to mind her own damn business. Now if we could only figure out how to git rid of those control freak nannies in Washington. 2 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/5/12 re: John Jay quote It's called Jury Nullification. You can nullify bad law by simply voting not guilty. No judge will ever tell any jury about this. 2 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/5/12 re: Thomas Jefferson quote E Archer, most Americans are domesticated sheep,see the last election, and the government is more than happy to fleece them. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/5/12 re: Billie Holiday quote You must not drink one of those awful BigGulps because the nannies in the government will make you stand in the corner.

Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/4/12 re: Frank Herbert quote Joe, not only has it strengthened the gangs selling drugs but has caused many other major problems. See LEAP.cc for more details on this War on Drugs. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/4/12 re: Benjamin Franklin quote I'd say moderation in most things, especially at Thanksgiving when you have an urge to eat that second piece of pecan pie. 4 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/3/12 re: Thomas M. Coffey quote Substitute "drug use" for drinking and "drug" for Alcohol in the above quote and you have an exact description of this so called War on Drugs. See LEAP.cc on the web. 3 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/3/12 re: H. L. Mencken quote H.L. always hits the nail squarely on the head. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 12/3/12 re: Franklin P. Adams quote The exact same goes for this "War on Drugs" which actually a war on people. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/30/12 re: Lysander Spooner quote Thank goodness we can get a jury trial here in Texas for everything from murder to a parking ticket. Mike's example is pretty commonplace in bench trials. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/30/12 re: Lao-Tzu quote Alcohol prohibition didn't work in 1920 and drug prohibition doesn't work now. But the government keeps spending millions on a "war on drugs" that doesn't solve anything and only makes matters worse. Check out LEAP.cc on the web and see what former drug cops think about it. 4 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/29/12 re: Josef Stalin quote Bruce, are you nuts. Who else but governments run elections. Ask people from Venezuela if you doubt this. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/28/12 re: Sir Alex Fraser Tytler quote It isn't Obama being president that is so scary, it's that we have so many people willing to elect him a second time. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on me again. 3 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/27/12 re: Benjamin Franklin quote When you rob Peter to pay Paul you will always have the support of Paul. This works pretty well until Peter runs out of money. Reminds me of the old joke about a cop asking two vagrants how they make a living. The first one says that he borrows money from the second one. The cop then asks number two how he makes a living and he says to the cop, he pays me back. Sounds a lot like our government. Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/27/12 re: Thomas Jefferson quote Of course, none of this applies when you have a King like Obama. 3 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/19/12 re: Jefferson Davis quote We saw a great example of this when Obama care was passed. Over 70% of American citizens opposed it but Nancy , Harry, and the rest of the usual suspects rammed it through anyway. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/19/12 re: Alan Bullock quote And then Stalin sent you off to Siberia and you never came back. 1 Reply jim k, Austin, Tx 11/19/12 re: Aldous Huxley quote The last line in this quote sums it up very well. This country is the perfect example. Previous 25 Next 25 SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
