Good Find
I have to throw up and distract myself after reading those quotes. But good find indeed.
Great example why many liberals are so embarrassed they now call themselves ‘Progressives’.
Or Libertarians, come to think of it.....(chuckle)
The Charles Kuralt from this Wikipedia article?
But two years after his death, Kuralt's personal reputation came under scrutiny when a decades-long companionship with a Montana woman was made public. Kuralt apparently had a second, "shadow" family while his estranged wife lived in New York City, and his daughters from a previous marriage lived on the eastern seaboard. Kuralt's Montana companion asserted that the house in Montana had been willed to her, a position upheld by the state's supreme court. According to court testimony, Kuralt had met her while doing a story on a park she had volunteered and promoted to build in Reno, Nevada in 1968, which was called "Pat Baker Park" in her honor.
Charles Kuralt - what an actor CK must have been with all those I love America shows....never ever trust the Leftist liars...the ‘08 election will be them or us!
According to David Horowitz, “progressive” is the term radical liberals use to disguise their communist ideology.
Classics.
ping for later reading
"Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It's clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It's the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don't have to be dirty words: the nation can't be run by an angry two-year-old."
-- ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings
What is the correct quote and the source?
Not only that, they had a quote wrong in their display from Patrick Henry:
“I know what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death.”
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the above? FOLKS THIS IS A NATIONAL MUSEUM AND THEY CAN'T GET THEIR HISTORY RIGHT? Worse yet, maybe we were the only ones that caught it? History is being rewritten before our eyes.
The attitudes revealed in these and countless similar statements are a large part of the reason I don’t trust the MSM about anything. I don’t even trust them when they’re saying bad things about people I dislike.
‘According to David Horowitz, “progressive” is the term radical liberals use to disguise their communist ideology.’
So is ‘enviromental activist’
This is funny, blaming Reagan for AIDS was my defining moment for becoming a conservative.
Ditto for Garrison Keillor with all his tales about humble, modest people from Lake Woebegone. All the time Garrulous Squealer privately detested the very people he was supposedly revering in his stories.
Nice. My personal fav is:
7. Dan’s Salute to ‘Honest’ Bill Host Bill O’Reilly: “Do you think President Clinton’s an honest man?” Dan Rather: “Yes, I think he’s an honest man.... I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.” — Exchange on Fox News’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” May 15, 2001.
Unreal.
Even when I was a Democrat in the eighties, I was mystified by attacks on Reagan for supposedly not stopping AIDS. Anyone with half a brain knew even in the early eighties that AIDS was mostly caused by unprotected homosexual activity. And the spread could have been halted by the use of condoms. But I remember AIDs activists actually blaming Reagan for a disease whose spread could easily have been stopped in its tracks by the same people it was killing. The truth was too hard for them to face: male homosexuals spread AIDS and could have stoppped it.
Jefferson’s original draft was “life, liberty and property” but it was changed to “pursuit of happiness” at the final draft.
Henry said, “I know NOT what course...
But it was better than:
I no knot what coarse,
which is what I would have expected in this day of those who actually read books passing the torch to the non-readers.
I was thinking it was a misquote of the pledge of allegience.
“...liberty and justice for all”
