A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
"Do you honestly believe if we stop fighting and give the terrorists what they want, they will stop blowing shit up to get what they want?"
"Just before Sept.11, I was talking to a Canadian friend. I said that the problem with America in the world is that everyone hates us. She laughed. I said, no, I'm serious. Everyone hates us, no matter what we do. If we ignore the Balkans, we're not "leading" enough. If we talk about the Balkans but do nothing, we're being undiplomatic and pushy. If we do something militarily, we're hegemonic bullies. No matter what we do, the international press and vast portions of the international elites will hate us."
Surprisingly enough for a Castro-loving socialist, she agreed. -- Joe
"Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms." -- Aristotle
"We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace." - Former US Ambassador to the UN Jeane Kirkpatrick
"Right here, two days after 9/11, there was a demonstration of people saying we got what we deserved. I was sickened - it was like saying a rape victim had it coming because she dressed provocatively. That’s when my passion for politics reignited." -- Coyne Maloney
"I think the French need to rethink things or else they're facing a nation that looks like Detroit in Robocop, except there's no Robocop to clean up the mess." -- lawhawk commenting at LGF

"Where the U.N. is concerned, accountability is very thin on the ground in general." -- Glenn Reynolds

"When Islamofascism rolls in to occupy Paris (it is very nearly there) it will not do so with tanks. It will do so with burquas for the women, swords for the gays and calls for prayer for everyone. What do you think France will do? What is it doing, already?
Who will fight, then? Just us...and the UK for a little while longer, and the Aussies. We have one last great hope to defeat this advancing ideology and that hope is to give the non-fascists a taste of liberty and democratic process, and an opportunity to enter into the marketplace of goods and ideas." -- The Anchoress
"Our policy is simple: We are not going to betray our friends, reward the enemies of freedom, or permit fear and retreat to become American policies, especially in this hemisphere. None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong." -- President Ronald Reagan
In June of 2005, Democrat Dick Durbin apologized on the Senate floor for likening U.S. troops to "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others- that had no concern for human beings..."

"Anyone who can increase the U.S. Navy to 600 ships AND say on a broadcast "I have just signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union" simply ROCKS!..." -- Joel Callahan
Purchasing offsets only means that Gore doesn't want to make the same kind of sacrifices that he's asking other families to make. He's using a modern form of indulgences in order to avoid doing the penance that global-warming activism demands of others. It means that the very rich can continue to suck up energy and raise the price and the demand for electricity and natural gas, while families struggle with their energy costs and face increasing government regulation and taxation. It's a regressive plan that Gore's supporters would decry if the same kind of scheme were applied to a national sales tax, for instance.
"How is it that Scooter Libby is facing jail time and Sandy Berger got off with a slap of the wrist. At least part of the answer is that Libby was investigated by a special prosecutor, while Berger was not. My guess is that there is more to the story of Berger as well..." -- Mike Rappaport
"I think one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is the romanticization of peasant life. And the idea that industrial societies are the destroyers of the world. The environmental movement has evolved into the strongest force there is for preventing development in the developing countries. I think it's legitimate for me to call them anti-human." -- Patrick Moore, co-founder Greenpeace
"I watch him, and I think, "This is what the news business has become." First of all, to be lectured about news by Keith Olbermann is like being called
ugly by a frog. And the idea that this guy, doing the crap he does on MSNBC, would sit there and pretend to be some kind of moral or journalistic authority about anything... he couldn't cover a two-alarm fire." -- Chris Wallace
I am a Marxist of the Groucho tendency.

"In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." -- former Vice-President and democrat Al Gore
"...Iraq was every but the human rights crisis Darfur is. Why choose one over the other? How can you support intervening to save the people of Darfur but not intervening to save the people of Iraq?" -- Rob at SayAnything

"The problem is the widespread infection of the "Truther disease" in the far left liberal extremist mindset.
These idiots really do believe that once GW Bush is out of office, the Islamofascists will return to peaceful co-existence with the rest of the world. Reality just isn't an option for those people."
"Liberalism is a mental disorder. You keep expecting people to be rational; that's because you're sane and can't conceive of the thought patterns of people who aren't.
Same reason Democrats assume any action by the President is motivated by powerlust; because that's how they think, and they can't conceive of any other thought patterns." -- syberghost
"I just went over to Kos' place and did a comment search for the term "troll rate"--their automated method of disappearing a comment and/or commenter who bucks the party line. It came up 1395 times in the last two weeks alone. Stifling dissent is a big part of the lefty blog culture." -- T-web
"Have you noticed how we don't hear much about Bush-haters? It's odd since not long ago "Clinton-hatred" was a national epidemic.... [T]he most outrageous accusations against Bush are commonplace on the left and in liberal circles today, but we don't get articles in the mainstream press ridiculing 'Bushophobia.'" - Jonah Goldberg

"There's a kind of decadence about all this: If 9/11 was really an inside job, you wouldn't be driving around with a bumper sticker bragging that you were on to it.
