I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world
who was not carried away by power. --Robert Frost
+++
Please, Mr. President, do not talk about Jesus Christ to born-again Christians who have the gift of discernment. You're not up to their spiritual "pay grade." - Marie Jon
+++
Leaders of other countries -- allies and enemies alike -- are interested in results, not rhetoric. Somebody close to Barack Obama needs to tell him that. --Thomas Sowell
+++
It is an irony of Obama's presidency - which came into being because he was the unBush - that it shares some of the worst traits of his predecessor's administration. Among these are insularity and a blinkered arrogance. --Toby Harnden
+++
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme. --1 Timothy 1:18-20
+++
The defense of peace, like the defense of liberty, requires more than lip service. It requires vigilance, military strength, and the willingness to take risks and to make sacrifices. The surest guarantor of both peace and liberty is our unflinching resolve to defend that which has been purchased for us by our fallen heroes. On Memorial Day, let us pray for peace - not only for ourselves, but for all those who seek freedom and justice. --Ronald Reagan
+++
"Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my
account."--Matthew 5:11
+++
The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If "Thou shalt not covet," and "Thou shalt not steal," were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free. - John Adams, Second President of the United States
+++
It was time to go for broke, and bring out Bill Clinton to explain why the Tea Party is the new front in the "war on terror." Don't worry about Iran's nuclear program, but, if you meet a Tea Party supporter waving some placard about the national debt, try not to catch his eye and back away slowly without making any sudden movements lest he put down his placard and light up his suicide belt. - Mark Steyn
+++
"It is time to say, 'Enough is enough.' America is engulfed in bloody wars on two fronts, where men and women are fighting and dying for the cause of liberty. They need, and deserve, the prayers of people of faith during their time of sacrifice. We … ask the American people to defend the right to pray in the Pentagon…We can be silent no more."
- Shirley Dobson
+++
What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.--Edward Langley
+++
The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. --Mark Twain
+++
"What are the tea partiers really angry about, health care reform or the fact that it was an African-American president and a woman speaker of the House who pushed through major change?" --Chris Matthews
+++
Right now, in a fit of mass hypochondria, large numbers of Americans have convinced themselves that they - or, at any rate, their uninsured neighbors - urgently need the magic Euro-cure-all. If they get it,
it will improve their health not a whit. - Mark Steyn
+++
I am shocked that any educated, honest person confesses to believe in the fairy tale of evolution. Evolutionists are an embarrassment to real scientists and are like blind men in a dark basement looking for a black cat that isn't there. So sad. But only a few dare call it quackery! - Don Boys
+++
Mystical experiences are therefore self-authenticating; that is, they are not subject to any form of objective verification. They are unique to the person who experiences them. Since they do not arise from or depend upon any rational process, they are invulnerable to any refutation by rational means… Mysticism is therefore antithetical to discernment. It is an extreme form of reckless faith. --John MacArthur
+++
Never in my lifetime have we had to contend for the faith 24/7. What was once blatantly evil is suddenly ok. Spiritual applications can be made from worldly scenarios. Up is down, down is up, right is wrong, wrong is right,
and we're all drinking tea with the Mad Hatter! --Jan Markell
+++
The most politically effective totalitarian systems have gotten people to give up their own freedom in order to vent their resentment or hatred at other people-- under Communism, the capitalists; under Nazis, the Jews.--Thomas Sowell
+++
We are a lazy bunch; all of us, pastors and laypeople alike. We don't study God's word; we just don't study! Sadly, Christians in North America are seldom different from anybody else on the street - we are Biblically illiterate, historically ignorant, culturally naïve, politically blind, economically foolish, and sorely lacking in discernment. So when the historic winds-of-change broadside us, we find ourselves stupefied. -Carl Teichrib
+++
The global warming movement as we have known it is dead. The movement died from two causes:
bad science and bad politics.--Walter Russell Mead
+++
"America must always be a land where liberty and property are valued and respected, and innocent
human life is protected." -- Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell
+++
"In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them."
-Senator-elect Scott Brown
+++
When it comes to "The Shack," the really troubling fact is that so many readers are drawn to the theological message of the book, and fail to see how it conflicts with the Bible at so many crucial points. All this reveals a disastrous failure of evangelical discernment. It is hard not to conclude that theological discernment is now a lost art among American evangelicals -- and this loss can only lead to theological catastrophe .--Albert Mohler
+++
The stakes in this fall's elections go far beyond the fate of either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. The fate of America is on the line. -Thomas Sowell
+++
I would much rather heed the words of Jesus Christ than the words of Pat Robertson. And this is a warning to all Christians. Don't simply believe what the leaders are telling you. Test what they say in light of Scripture, and hold fast to that which is good. -Hank Hanegraaff
+++
[ObamaCare] was not worth it--not worth the town-hall uprisings and the bleeding of centrist support, not worth the rebranding of the president from center-left leader to leftist leader, not worth the proof it provided that the public's concerns and the administration's are not the same, not worth a wasted first year that should have been given to two things and two things only: economic matters and national security. -Peggy Noonan
+++
On Dec. 25, Americans saw Barack Obama's carefully considered initial response to a serious terrorist incident. And it left them worried not only about the threat itself, but the president's ability to handle it. -Byron York
+++
We, the people, are today like the decent people of France in 1940; standing there open-mouthed and zombified at the speed and brazenness with which the Obama team is "going around our defenses" and transmogrifying America into something unwanted, unwelcome and, until now, unimaginable. The key question is: If the Obama team is rebuked at the polls in 2010 and thrown out in 2012, can the damage be reversed? Already, maybe not! - Barry Farber
+++
The recently revealed destruction of raw data at the bottom of the global warming hysteria, as well as revelations of attempts to prevent critics of this hysteria from being published in leading journals, suggests that the disinterested search for truth-- the hallmark of real science-- has taken a back seat to a political crusade. -Thomas Sowell
+++
"There has been an unrelenting quarter-century of one-sided indoctrination of the Western world by the media and various scientists and governments concerning a coming carbon dioxide-induced global warming disaster. … (This is) but the tip of a giant iceberg of a well-organized international climate warming conspiracy."
--Dr. William Gray, one of America's best hurricane forecasters
+++
"How do you on the one hand say: 'We need to send these troops over there; it's critical; this is in our national-security interest to do this.' But then say: 'But we're only going to keep them there for 18 months; we're going to start to withdraw them after 18 months'? I just don't understand the logic of how that works. …This is not a football game, where the time runs out. To win this war, you have to defeat the enemy." --CBS anchor Bob Schieffer
+++
"Where's the hope? … It sounds more Rube Goldberg than 'Remember the Alamo.' … If I were with the Taliban right now, I'd put a little Post-it up on that month in 2011, and say: 'This is when we do OUR surge.'" --MSNBC's Chris Matthews
+++
[American Idol runner-up] Adam Lambert is fully embracing the S&M lyrics featured in his single. Greased up dancers are dolled up in leather, dog collars, nipple clamps (zoinks!)and platform boots. He's not kidding when he asks in the song, "Push the limit/ Are you with it?"-- Jim Cantiello
+++
"The terrorists who planned, participated in, and aided the September 11, 2001 attacks are war criminals, not common criminals. Not only are these individuals not common criminals but war criminals, they are also not American citizens entitled to all the constitutional rights American citizens have in our federal courts. The individuals accused of committing these heinous, cowardly acts … should therefore be tried by military commission rather than in civilian courts in the United States." -Sen. Joseph Lieberman
+++
For the first time since I joined the Army in 1976, I'm ashamed of its dereliction of duty. The chain of command protected a budding terrorist who was waving one red flag after another. Because it was safer for careers than doing
something about him. -Col. Ralph Peters
+++
The battle is between the people who subscribe to the principles of freedom set forth in our founding documents, and the people who subscribe to the principles of collectivism set forth by Karl Marx. - Henry Lamb
+++
"A lot of people worry about having SUVs but they don't worry about having Alsatians and what we are saying is, well, maybe you should be because the environmental impact ...
is comparable." --Brenda Vale, environmentalist
+++
This is not just another Rush Limbaugh controversy. Everyone who cherishes honesty and common decency should be concerned. If the radical Left can punish Rush Limbaugh, one of the strongest voices in the conservative movement, by spreading malicious falsehoods then all of us can be smeared and demonized in the same way. --Gary Bauer
+++
"My expectation is that when you look back on these years, you will see a time in which we put a stop to discrimination against gays and lesbians -- whether in the office or on the battlefield. You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships
between a man and a woman." -Barack Obama
+++
Against Emanuel and Biden stand David Petraeus, the world's foremost expert on counterinsurgency (he saved Iraq with it), and Stanley McChrystal, the world's foremost expert on counterterrorism. Whose recommendation on how to fight would you rely on? -- Charles Krauthammer
"Unless I'm convinced by sacred Scripture or by evident reason, I will not recant. For my conscience is held captive by the Word of God. Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me." -Martin Luther
+++
"Unless I'm convinced by sacred Scripture or by evident reason, I will not recant. For my conscience is held captive by the Word of God. Here I stand, I can do no other. God help me." -Martin Luther
+++
"There is no reason to believe that in the face of statutory ambiguity, the meaning of federal law should be settled by the inclinations and predispositions of federal judges. The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him." -Regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein
+++
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! --P.J O'Rourke
+++
"I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images." --Isaiah 42:8
+++
This is not your mamma's Disney. The lifestyles and fantasies they are selling our young women are anything but wholesome. Disney has deliberately and successfully transformed its brand from one of innocence and family entertainment, to a purveyor of promiscuity. -Rebecca Hagelin
+++
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. -- Charlie Reese
+++
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. --Colossians 2:6-8
+++
"We are not paranoid, someone really is after us. Why are these conservative and right-wing b****rds picking on NEA and its affiliates? I will tell you why: it is the price we pay for success." -- NEA's retiring General Counsel Bob Chanin
+++
In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. -- Voltaire (1764)
+++
When the end of America comes someday, and it will, our citizens will be glued to The Insider and TMZ, breathless to know whether the newly released Angelina Jolie bathing suit photos were doctored to show cellulite or whether they are authentic. For this, our founders pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor? - Ingrid Schlueter
+++
"There's no room for despair. The devil makes you sick, God can heal you. I believe in Him, His power and His infinite wisdom. I know I must do my work also, but I cannot do it without his help. But I must never forget how blessed I have been. He has given me gifts and happiness beyond any of my simple expectations." - Farrah Fawcett, 1947-2009
+++
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. -C. S. Lewis
