Quotes of the week.



"Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.”-Abraham Lincoln


=>Absolutely. This is what I'd stay to people like Bernstein, Van Natta,Gerth etc who think Hillary Clinton's focus and determination are bad traits. Most people have to work for everything they hav or will have in life. Some may have to work harder than others, but nothing comes for free, least of all the presidency.

“If you want something said, ask a man...if you want something done, ask a woman.” -Margaret Thatcher


=> FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt was a vocal supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. FDR could only on few occasions and in indirect ways voice support of the Civil Rights because he needed the support of Southern Democrats to advance other parts of the New Deal. Eleanor became the connection to the African-American population. She met with civil rights leaders, organizers many times to discuss issues and ways to advance the movement.

“We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.” -Aristotle

=>This administration has not perofrmed just actions; allowing the bureaucracy to self destruct under the careful eye of its cronies (Wolfowtiz, Gonzales, Brown). This administration has not performed temperate actions, they have been an immoderate dividing force in American politics scorching critics like Kissinger, Carter, those extremely knowledgeable and experienced in foreign policy, with Iraq, and other issues. Brave actions? I'm not sure about this one, I suppose sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan in the name of freedom counts, or that could be forcing others to take brave actions.

“ Frankly, I'm fed up... no, I'm weary of even having to express sympathy for Cindy Sheehan. Oh, she lost her son. Yes, yes, yes. But we all lose things.” -Rush Limbaugh



=>Rush is a big fat idiot. That's a lack of compassion for the thousands of mother, fathers, sisters, brothers and friends of Americans that have died in Iraq. Maybe he wouldn't care even if he did.
