A Great Line That No-One Noticed At The GOP Convention
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 7/21/2016 | John Merline

CLEVELAND -- It's tough to be a speaker at a political convention who has something substantive to say, because the sizzle always consumes the steak at these events.

So it's not surprising that energy company executive Harold Hamm was overlooked amid Wednesday night's political sparks. But he delivered one of the better, or arguably one of the more important, lines of the night:

Every time we don’t drill a well in America, terrorism is being funded.

Not going to click it but I believe it was when he said every time we can’t drill a well in the USA we fund terrorism (or something like that)

“Why do people immediately dislike Ted Cruz?” — “To save time”.

As relayed by Brett Hume.

Two excellent quotes from last night:
“Every time we can’t drill a well in America, terrorism is being funded!”

And post 5.

To me one of the great lines was “I am supporting Trump not inspire of my color but because of my color”

That line was originally said by David Steinberg about Bea Arthur. Brit must have stolen it from my FR post of a few days back.

A bunch of us noted it - the IBD writer just wants to act like he’s brighter than the rest of us.

IBD editorial writer’s post was pulled yesterday with the mod writing “take your garbage elsewhere”. IBD editorial writer ALWAYS excerpts his articles, and rarely posts afterwards.

Let me help you with your profile page. Let's start with your line "I write IBD editorials in Los Angeles, love Free Republic, and welcome any feedback on our stuff, positive or negative." and see what we can do.

How about this:

I write IBD editorials in Los Angeles because for some unfathomable reason I get paid for it. I love Free Republic because so far they haven't zotted me as a clickbait troll. I say I welcome any feedback on our stuff, positive or negative, but I never bother to reply and I never return to the thread to read all the comments. I merely post another thread with more of the same and to which i will never reply. This is because I know my words are more enlightened than anyone else's on Free Republic.

Feel free to copy and paste this into your 'about' page. You are free to use this sans any fees or other entanglements. You can thank me later.
