Speaking of Conservatives...

“Even as someone who’s labeled a conservative – I’m a Republican, I’m black, I’m heading
up this organization in the Reagan administration – I can say that conservatives don’t
exactly break their necks to tell blacks that they’re welcome.”
~Clarence Thomas

~Benjamin Disraeli


A liberal government is an organized hypocrisy.

'they have regulations too'

if it was that liberal there would be NO government...but the liberals just like their own rules.


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
