Quick Quips – 3/23/10

History of Vietnam War for People with Attention Deficit Disorder - Holy Smokes! This is the most politically incorrect version of events you will ever read on the Vietnam War from the man that literally wrote the book on Vietnam War political incorrectness... Read More

Daily LOL: Coburn's Viagra Gambit: This is a short must-laugh!

Patrick Henry: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

WOW!! Racial Preferences in ObamaCare even though the USCCR warned BHO against discrimination! One provision states that programs with “a record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or from a rural or disadvantaged background” will be given priority for government money… The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights called the provisions racially discriminatory and sent President Barack Obama and Congress letters warning them about the provisions. The politicians ignored the warning, naturally. Read more…

Yes!! Star Parker Running for Cong.? Says: "break the chains of poverty and find purpose and meaning ..."  Also said:

“Social engineers of the late 1960s told Americans that black people could not take control over the poverty in their lives due to centuries of racism and segregation,” The onus was now on society to “fix” poverty, and taxpayers are still pouring money into it. But poverty can’t be fixed with money, Parker asserts. Moral bankruptcy, caused by the scourge of relativism, must be overcome. Government safety nets allow people to escape the consequences of personal behavior. As a result, there is little incentive to learn from bad behavior.

An $1.25 billion train to Disney World? More Mickey Mouse stimulus spending from President Obama.  The NYT says “The drive from Orlando to Tampa takes only 90 minutes or so. Despite the short distance, the Obama administration awarded Florida $1.25 billion in stimulus money to link the cities with a fast train to help kick off its efforts to bring high-speed rail service to the United States.” [ This trip will save 30 minutes out of a normal 90 minute car drive – before adding in driving to train parking lots, much less not having a car on the other end. And it DOESN’T PAY FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT! – JS ]

We've Crossed the Rubicon - ObamaCare was "about assuming a massive portion of the private sector": There won’t be any more soaring rhetoric from Obama about purple-state America, “reaching across the aisle,” or healing our wounds. That was so 2008. Instead, we are in the most partisan age since Vietnam, ushered into it by the self-acclaimed “non-partisan.” But how could it be anything else? Read more…

Douglas MacArthur: “Last, but by no means least, courage—moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ; is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle--the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your; conscience on the other.” Read more “courage” quotes…
