Robert Kennedy famously said: "There are those who look at things the way they are and ask, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and ask, 'Why not?'"

The new liberal version is: There are those who look at things and ask, "Why on earth should the government be paying for that?" I dream of things that never were funded by the government and ask, "Why not?"

See also this MARVELOUS report about Ann's appearance last week at the Nixon Library (with some GREAT new photos of Ann) now posted on episconixonian.blogspot.com:

H. L. Coulter

"If I've offended anyone," Ann Coulter told an audience of 1,200 at the Nixon Library today, "my work is done."

Charming and thoughtful in person -- a Connecticut Yankee who was graduated with honors from Cornell, studied law at Michigan, clerked for an appeals court judge, and litigated on behalf of individual freedom before becoming a commentator -- Coulter absolutely horrifies her critics. Strong, forbearing men shuddered with alarm on learning that the Nixon Foundation had invited her to speak, answer questions, and sign copies of her seventh book, Guilty.



For me, the key question came from a fan who wondered why she didn't have her own show on cable. She doesn't want one.

"I'm a writer," she said. At that point I began to pay closer attention to the deftness of her wordplay, which she had been honing until five minutes before I had the pleasure of introducing her.

Just think H. L. Mencken, who said, "I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war upon liberty..."

It struck me today when I heard the number of pages in this new bill. Over 8 hundred pages. Nice how that worked out isn't it? Let's see 8 hundred pages, 800 Billion Dollars - hmmmmmm, a BILLION DOLLARS A PAGE!

Truthfully, there are some textual works which may have value beyond price, but I have not, nor do ever expect that a page's worth of words can amount to a billion dollars. Them must be some pretty damn flowery and persuasive words on them pages, I'll tell ya!.......must be some pretty powerful bullshit.

Actually, George Bernard Shaw said that “Why not?” quote, and if I am not mistaken those words were spoken by Satan in one of his (Shaw’s) plays.

Pittsburgh evening news is already trumpeting "Pennsylvania stands to gain several billion dollars from the stimulus bill - if it passes." Payback for a blue state.

Between the secretive socialists, the bumbling bureaucrats, the repugnant rinos and the militant mohammedans it might be GOODBYE AMERICA.

A song to send us on our way...

If we replaced all elected officials tomorrow with moribund alcoholics, they clearly couldn’t do much worse, and might do better.

The stimulus bill goes a long way toward repealing the work requirement of the 1996 Republican Welfare Reform bill and rewards states that increase their welfare caseloads by paying unwed mothers to sit home doing nothing.

Forget about ever rolling back this time. This is just one of the vote buying that the Communists are putting in place. Buying vote removes the socialists label and combined with health plans, places them as Communists because they will never be removed form power. And the slaves of this Government will tax us to death to pay for this coup.

Instead of digging ditches, American taxpayers will be digging our own graves.

We even get to pay for the shovels. Made by union labor, of course.

I expected the socialists to do what they’re doing.

What is shocking is that Americans aren’t doing anything about it.

You would think it’s just another day in America.

We should be rioting in the streets!

Is that OK to say, or will I now be visited by the gov’t goons?

WE SHOULD BE MAKING HAVOC IN THE STREETS!

They are making sure our children will be slaves to their agenda.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD BE RIOTING NOW.

THOMAS JEFFERSON WOULD BE CALLING FOR BLOOD!

What the heck is wrong with Americans?

Ping for this line:

We are virtualy paying for building the tanks which will roll in our lives to force us to buy participating products.

These liberal tanks are the stimulus to get the American leftist idiot voters to keep voting and shopping as they do without changing.

Folkes do not understand that when an army of this sort sends you to do something, it always is an order, not an option, whether it is to dig trenches or to shop.
