We want more schoolhouses and less jails;
more books and less arsenals;
more learning and less vice;

to make manhood more noble,
womanhood more beautiful,
and childhood more happy and bright."

“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct. And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt that in the course of time and things the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it? Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! is it rendered impossible by its vices?

“Boomhauer: (King of the Hill)

Yeah man, I tell ya what, man. That dang ol' Internet, man. You just go on there and point and click. Talk about W-W-dot-W-com. An' lotsa nekkid chicks on there, man. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. It's real easy, man.”

““I know that a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, of undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without international support will fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than the best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al Qaeda. I'm not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.”

Barak Obama, 2002”

“Dude should have been president 8 years ago.”

“dude, halloween's over. stop trying to scare us.”

“will fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than the best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al Qaeda

He left out the end result: jihadist terrorists slaughtered by the bushel in Iraq, resulting in a huge loss of face in the muslim world. AQ prime still ineffective. Muslims still outraged over AQ/jihadists-on-muslim abuse.”

“I know that a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, of undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.

This applies to pretty much any war.”

“are automatically called racist?

You know why? It's because Obama is a racist, and particularly his wife and pastor. They are projecting.

“Quiet sarge, your dead, you don't get a say.”

“There are some who are simply racist, .... some not.... and some in that hazy in-between.

The Klan and the Wingnuts are like that thing with squares and rectangles..... � 'every square a rectangle but not every rectangle a square,' donchaknow.


But it's the 'in-between' that I find interesting.... � and those little slips revealing that which was hidden, hidden even from the people themselves.
