we must be...The New Partisans: ...ya' think?

Mission Statement:

"...great, another blog - just what the world needs." Well I'm here to tell you that I understand all too well that not many, if any, will see this, but that is not my concern. I simply want to blow off steam. Being just a citizen & having absolutely no say in the way my gov't. runs any longer, I just want to scream my frustration into the nightwind...& I know it'll be as effective as barkin' at the moon, but I shall howl until I'm hoarse, then howl some more. Feel free to join me. Let's make some noise; let's make lots of noise; let's make a symphony! Just let me know & I'll put you down as an "Author". Don't tell me who you are. I don't care who you are. Go for it. Vent. Nothing - save personal attacks (except, of course, those aimed at gov't.) - is off limits.

Today's Quote(s):

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.”
-- T. E. Lawrence ('awrence of Arabia)

"Your silence gives consent."
--Greek philosopher Plato (429-347 BC)

"There's a national interest in this not just a BP interest! We're letting BP fix a national problem. In China it's a more brutal society, but they execute people for this."
--MSNBC's Chris Matthews on BP and the Gulf oil spill

"What a glorious morning this is!"
--Samuel Adams, to John Hancock at the Battle of Lexington, Massachusetts, 1775

"On every unauthoritative (sic) exercise of power by the legislature must the people rise in rebellion or their silence be construed into a surrender of that power to them? If so, how many rebellions should we have had already?"
--Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, Query 12, 1782

"After America, there is no place to go."
-- Kitty Werthmann

"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Washington, 1796

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence (sic), raised in the United States."
--Noah Webster, "An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."
--Fredric Bastiat (1801-1850), "The Law"

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence clamorous to be led to safety by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
–H.L. Mencken

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
--Thomas Jefferson

"...The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?"
--George Orwell, "1984"

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
--Samuel Adams

"It's not free. ... Someone's going to have to pay for it and you bet it's going to be the taxpayer."
--Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT)

When asked about some of the discrepancies between the facts & the administrations press releases:
"Who knows, man, who really knows?"
--Ed Pound ("Recovery Czar")

"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."
--George Mason (1725 - 1792)

"No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems -- of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind."
--economist Thomas Sowell

Today's Lie(s):

"...w/o health care, the country will go bankrupt"
--Barack Obama (Dec. 17, 2009)

"One of the central goals of this administration is restoring fiscal responsibility."
--Barack Obama

Harry Reid claims his +2,000 pg. bill - from "cradle to grave" Health Care - will reduce the deficit. Now, is he a funny guy, or what?

"I think it is important, though, to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession."
--Barack Obama

"Howard, is [Obama] smarter, Howard is he smarter than us?" --MSNBC's Chris Matthews to Newsweek's Howard Fineman, who answered, "Of course he is! Much smarter!"

"Oh, I'm confident we've hit bottom. ... We're getting to the end of this toboggan run. We're no longer talking about a depression. We're talking about the shape of a recovery."
--Joe Biden

just no friggin' clue...

...normally I'd simply call this a lie, but this shrew truly lives in la-la-land.

"The Democratic Congress and the Obama administration share a strong commitment to fiscal discipline and common sense in our budget, and we must continue to do everything in our power to boost our economic recovery, rein in the deficits we inherited, and remain responsible stewards of the public purse. After President Bush and Republicans in Congress turned record surpluses into record deficits and nearly doubled the national debt, Democrats are returning our nation to a course of fiscal responsibility."
--House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on her own party's quadrupling of the deficit

Today's Question:

"It will be tempting but futile to ask [Elena] Kagan whether she thinks Congress's enumerated power to regulate interstate commerce is elastic enough to justify requiring individuals to buy health insurance. That is, does the power to regulate interstate commerce give Congress the power to punish the inactivity of not making a private purchase from a private health-care provider? If the commerce clause is sufficiently elastic, in what sense do we still have limited government -- government limited by the Constitution?" --columnist George Will

MoronSpeak:

"Is America in danger of the current debt crisis becoming a sovereign debt crisis ... like the one that is now hitting Greece, yes or no?" --John McLaughlin
++ "No, because we can print money and Greece can't. And the Bush tax cuts are for the people at the upper-end of the income scale, not the middle class." --Newsweek's Eleanor Clift

"We have new ideas about how to spend government money wisely."
--Vice President Joe "BFD" Biden

"[I]t would be good ... if [Obama] could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly." --director Woody Allen

"[W]hat is our appetite as Americans to want to help out Louisiana again? What's our appetite for all of those Southern states that are Republican? Yeah, those are all drill baby drill representatives. Those are all drill baby drill senators." --MSNBC's Ed Schultz

"[W]e have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."
--House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), confirming that too much Botox can kill brain cells

"We even have blacks voting against the health care bill. You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man." --Rev. Jesse Jackson

"I don't expect to actually read the legislative language [of the health care bill] because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I've ever read in my life."
--Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE)

"In my wildest dreams, I never thought (the stimulus) would work this well."
-- V.P Joe Biden
