I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.

Notice to Birthers, Tenthers and other extremists

As a veteran, I took an oath for life and swore that I would "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic", so if you are ever dumb enough to take up arms against my Constitutionally elected President, I'll put a round right between your fucking eyes and receive a hero's Medal for it.

What I visit

When wingnuts' prayers and hope for failure go unanswered, America wins.

Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security.
Benjamin Franklin

"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries." -- James Madison

Washington on Republicans

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism ~ George Washington

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

Who's the 'conservative'?

"The hard truth was that Reagan had borrowed from Clinton, and Clinton was having to pay it back. I was impressed that he did not seem to be trying to fudge reality to the extent politicians ordinarily do. He was forcing himself to live in the real world." -- Alan Greenspan

"Drawing down our troops in Iraq will put pressure on Iraqis to arrive at the political settlement that is needed and allow us to redeploy additional troops in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the region, as well as bring some back home." Barack Hussein Obama-1/07.

National Debt Clock

"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."
Ronald Reagan, admitting he sold missiles to the same Hezbollah terrorists who murdered 241 of our men in Beirut just a couple years earlier - March 4, 1987

"I told you all the truth that first day after...everything hit the fan."--Ronald Reagan, June 11, 1987

Read this memo from Richard Clarke to Condoleezza Rice

By far, the dumbest statement to ever appear on 'done that'

"Does Stram point out that these [Iranians] are Shi’ite MUSLIMS, who are allies of al-Qaeda and sympathetic to Bin Laden and the Taliban? No, he doesn’t."

Of course Al-Qaeda are Sunni Muslims and Iran despised both Al-Qaeda and the Taliban so much they actually tried to help us after 9/11.

Yeah, for W, you gotta problem with that?

Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction. - Adolf Hitler

"We think there is a parallel between federal involvement in education and the decline in profit over recent years." -- Ronald Reagan

Others

A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. -
Theodore Roosevelt

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. - Albert Einstein
