Quotes of the week



"I have the feeling about 60% of what you say is crap." --"Late Show" host David Letterman, to FOX News' Bill O'Reilly

=> I have a feeling 95% of what O’Reilly says is crap.

------------------
“I've been to Africa three times. All right? You can't bring Western reasoning into the culture. The same way you can't bring it into fundamental Islam.”

=> This is part the crap that makes up 95% of what Bill O’Reilly says.

"The swing voters -- I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster." –Ann Coulter

=>Lol! This is probably the only time I even remotely agree with Ann Coulter. I do not think it’s as black as white as she makes it out to be. However, I don’t understand the people that split tickets or vote for a different party every election year. In most cases, issues do not change that suddenly. Divided government more often than not is ineffective. In 2006, Americans voted for Democratic Congressional candidates primarily for one reason: to change policy in Iraq. Well, it’s been several months, have any major policy shifts happened? No! The timeline bill, if it hasn’t been already, will get vetoed. If Americans are willing to elect George Bush and then re-elect him after the disaster in Iraq, giving Congress to the Democrats won’t help. In a divided government, Congress either roles over and plays dead like it did in the Reagan era, or its efforts like the current Congress with it’s timeline bill hold little political value.

America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America, which had encouraged them most, had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts.- James Madison

=>Keep this in mind the next time you hear someone say that immigrants (legal or illegal) are taking all the jobs away from middle class Americans. Many immigrants from Mexico and other countries take low paying, physically straining jobs that no middle class American would want. Americans losing their jobs do so not to immigrants, but laborers that live in other countries and are willing to work for $1 per day.

“I bought a Venus Fly Trap today. I was going to name it ‘Republican’, but the fly trap is beneficial to the environment. I’ll save that name – someday I might find a plant that eats poor people and minorities.”- Anonymous

=>Lol!
