I am Lawrence Schmerel.
I love this country.
[S]eek the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you and pray to the Lord in its behalf; for in its prosperity you shall prosper. (Jeremiah 29:4-7)
[but]
“Do not imagine that you, of all the Jews, will escape with your life by being in the king’s palace. On the contrary …you and your father’s house will perish.” (Esther 4:12).
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is worse."--John Stuart Mill
"Equality, in a social sense, may be divided into that of condition, and that of rights. Equality of condition is incompatible with civilization, and is found only to exist in those communities that are but slightly removed from the savage state. In practice, it can only mean a common misery."--James Fenimore Cooper
"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men."--Ayn Rand
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it."--H. L. Mencken
"Why do people vote for Democrats? How can anybody?" I get the question all the time, "Rush, how can anybody be a liberal?" I can't explain it, folks. I can't explain it, but they can, not in a way that we understand it, but at least we see it and we understand that it's pointless to try to change them. I mean, I gave it my best shot, and you people, you understand my best shot's as good a shot as you're going to get, and I didn't make a dent. I did not make a dent because facts don't matter.--Rush Limbaugh, March 10, 2005.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.--Ronald Wilson Reagan, Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, March 30, 1961
If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy.--Ronald Wilson Reagan, Interview published in Reason, January 7, 1975
O’Sullivan’s Law – any organization not specifically conservative in orientation will become liberal over time.
Fear and self-interest are the main causes of moral equivocation.
Despite what you may think, Modern Liberal, atheist, elitist Democrats will NOT go to hell when they die. They will merely cease to exist. The ironic thing is that they don't deny it. They just think everyone will.
Father, forgive them not, for they know what they do.
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.-- Dr. Theodore Dalrymple, a contributing editor to City Journal and the author of the collection of essays "Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses" in an interview with Jamie Glazov for FrontPageMagazine.com published on Wednesday, August 31, 2005.
"By psychopolitics our chief goals are effectively carried forward. To produce a maximum of chaos in the culture of the enemy is our first most important step. Our fruits are grown in chaos, distrust, economic depression and scientific turmoil. ... With it you can erase our enemies as insects... Use the courts, use the judges, use the Constitution of the country, use its medical societies and its laws to further our ends. ... And bring to Earth, through Communism, the greatest peace Man has ever known." - Lavrenti Beria, Lenin University, in a 1933 address to a group of American/Marxist Psychology Students.
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." -- Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience" -- C.S. Lewis
I will vote for McCain.
The next President of the United States is going to be McCain or Obama.
Barack Obama is the farthest to the political left of any current Senator and a foreign policy disaster waiting to happen.
