"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all it's citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

RE: Quote for the Day!
"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."

Have you ever noticed that all newspaper composite drawings of wanted criminals look like Jesse Jackson? - Rush Limbaugh, compassionate conservative

They vote with their vaginas. - Rush, on why women overwhelmingly voted for Bill Clinton

What do Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Phil Gramm, and George Will have in common? They've all been married only one less time than Rush Limbaugh (3x loser).

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship."
