I picked two because they we so close in scoring....


"Turn Detroit into a national park, to show our kids the wonders of "Government Help." --Dave Burge

and

"If George Zimmerman wanted the president to stay out of it, he should've killed an ambassador." --Some guy on Twitter




"Approval ratings go up and down for various reasons... An example is the high post 911 support for
GWB even though he could be said to be responsible for the event." --- Box A Rox '9/11 Truther'

Melania is a bimbo... she is there to look at, not to listen to. --- Box A Rox and his 'War on Women'

Quote of the Day

Quoted Text
“What we have is fewer and fewer people buying more and more guns.  I think most average
Americans simply have no understanding of the mindset of the diminishing number of people
who own firearms and who own them specifically to carry out on the street… that mindset is
‘danger lurks everywhere and you better have your gun to protect yourself.’”
(Sounds like Henry)


Gun industry analyst Tom Diaz


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Quoted Text
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).

Ayn Rand


When the INSANE are running the ASYLUM
In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. -- Friedrich Nietzsche


“How fortunate for those in power that people never think.”
Adolph Hitler

Ayn Rand supported using the government, the law
and anything else to better yourself at the
expense of others. This is selfish individualism.

She also supported incorporating yourself for "more
equal than others", treatment under the law.

She claimed to support absolute free trade and a
free market, while advocating government protectionism
by way of patents and copyright. The protectionism
adds false value to otherwise ordinary goods or ideas.

Ayn Rand was a total contradiction. Her ideas are
based on the me first idea, thereby using any means
necessary to gain an advantage on others.

Individualism using the power of laws and government
is hardly individualism.

A proper Libertarian view would be free markets and
free trade with all parties being treated as equals.

She failed to recognize that government protectionism
is, in fact, the use of force on others.

The force of government laws and favoritism/denial.

Not a Libertarian concept at all.

"I wasn't allowed to talk about things like that because those elitist, those who are the brainics
in the GOP machine running John McCain's campaign at the time said that the media would eat
us alive if we brought up these things."

-- Sarah Palin, on Fox News, saying she was banned by the McCain campaign from talking
about Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright during the 2008 presidential election.
