End the War on Freedom

"When everybody has got money they cut taxes, and when they're broke they raise 'em. That's statesmanship of the highest order." -- Will Rogers

"Most people outside of Washington know that when Uncle Sam steps in to solve one problem, he usually only ends up creating two more." -- Edwin J. Feulner

As you may have heard, the U.S. is putting together a constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? Think about it -- it was written by very smart people, it's served us well for over two hundred years, and besides, we're not using it anymore. -- Jay Leno

"Socialism is the opiate of the intelligentsia..."

"The drug war has replaced the poll tax as the way to keep African-Americans from voting." -- Jesse Jackson

From kaba:

"The difference between Congress as envisioned by the Founding Fathers and the Congress we have today is one of them inspires patriots to support it, and the other inspires patriots to buy extra ammo." -- Angel Shamaya

From smith2004, a discussion of The Runaway Jury movie, whose tag-line is "Trials are too important to be decided by juries":

"Trials are too important to be argued by lawyers." -- Bill St. Clair

From birdman:

"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money." -- G. Gordon Liddy

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." -- Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation

I started reading Life 102: What to Do When Your Guru Sues You by Peter McWilliams. This is Peter's story of getting hooked on and getting over John-Roger's Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA). I attended an Insight seminar in 1986, and got over it rather quickly, though not without some acute pain. The friend who loaned me the book, who will remain nameless, took longer and a lot more money to get over it. Unfortunately, MSIA and the Insight seminars appear to be still separating fools from their money.

Cameltoe.org is dedicated to something I've noticed since puberty, but didn't have a name for until yesterday. Safe for work, though some will find it distasteful. From the gear page:

KnowtheToe Tee: Lets face it...nothing says "I have arrived" like a Cameltoe T-Shirt. If you are a woman, guys will see your knowthetoe™ shirt, and instantly realize that, unlike your friends, you have a great sense of humor and joie de vivre. If you are a guy, women will see you in this shirt and recognize that you are a connoisseur of the finer things in life...a man not afraid to stop and appreciate a beautiful sunset...a man with a sense of aesthetics. Or they might think you are a jackass. But at least they will notice you. What you do with the opportunity is really up to you.
