Thank you very much. I just coined that. I'm afraid I wasn't being original with the "cafeteria spirituality" comment. I stole that directly from the infamous phrase "Cafeteria Catholics." Some people like to pick and choose within one tradition. Some want a slice of this and a spoonful of that from a variety of traditions. It's a great concept for a restaurant. lol
“Pacifists are among the most immoral of men - they make no distinction between aggression and defense. Therefore, pacifism is one of the greatest allies an aggressor can have.” - Patrick Henry.
That's it! That hits the nail on the head. My favorite Founder's quotes come from Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine. They had a way of bottom-lining things.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Speaking of Dennis Miller; he did the best take on water boarding on BoR one night that I have ever heard. Something like; 'Why the controversy? To me water boarding is a golden gift. It does no physical harm and gets hardened terrorists to sell out their mothers in a few minutes.' That is exactly how I have thought about it since I first heard of it. I couldn't find a Youtube of it but maybe there is now. It was funny but absolutely true.
Dennis has done his bit on waterboarding on his program; he did a couple segments in the same day with discussion from callers. It was great!
I don’t call in radio shows, but I gave it a try that day ~ didn’t make it through.
I had a question, which I have even floated her at FR, with no significant results; whatever happened to sodium pentathol (truth serum)? I had been told some time ago that this does work. It’s reliable and there is nothing that individuals can do to impede giving out information.
My guess is that if this method were to be implemented that the left would have a fit because it would entail making terrorists give away information that was potentially damaging to their cause.
Yeah, Patrick Henry was alright. One of my favorites. Sort of on the edge. I had the opportunity to visit the old House of Burgess’s chambers in Williamsburg, VA and it’s pretty cool to be in that space, thinking about how the crown dissolved the colonial government.
Makes one wonder how long the taxpayers (suckers) in America will continue to take it. Hopefully, the new American Revolution will take place peacefully in November of 2010.
