Secret meaning: Paraphrase of Thomas Paine's statement on Tories from The Crisis.

And what is a Tory? Good God! What is he? I should not be afraid to go with a hundred Whigs against a thousand Tories, were they to attempt to get into arms. Every Tory is a coward; for servile, slavish, self-interested fear is the foundation of Toryism; and a man under such influence, though he may be cruel, never can be brave.

But, before the line of irrecoverable separation be drawn between us, let us reason the matter together: Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy, yet not one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him.

We're spending $700 billion to buy parachutes to allow the pilots of our financial plane a chance to jump to safety while we have to go down in the crash. We have had decades of financial irresponsibility of living on debt instead of production. Now is the time when the stupidity will be washed from the system.

Date:
Thread:
Secret meaning: The full idea I came up with is "The poor will usually revolt because of a hunger of the belly, which government action can often appease or focus for its own goals. The middle and upper classes are more likely to revolt because of a hunger of the soul, which government action cannot so easily sate." I came up with this because of a thread where a reporter was complaining that the Tea Partiers were all "rich", to which I responded that most of the leaders of the American Revolution were lawyers, gentlemen farmers and businessmen who would have done quite well financially if they had not rebelled. They risked, and in some cases lost, everything for freedom.

Secret meaning: I just downloaded "Essays on Political Economy" from Amazon because it was free and had a copy of "The Law" in it. That quote came from the last line of "What is Money?" which is just full of quotable material. Expect more Bastiat quotes in the future.

Thread: Schumber directs Senate Democrats to paint GOP spending cuts as 'extreme'
Secret meaning: Chuck-you Schumer thought that he was secretly telling other Dem senators to repeat the word "extreme" when referring to Tea Partiers. I welcome that appellation. As Barry Goldwater said: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"

Tagline: The Dems demanding shared sacrifice are like Aztec priests doing it while cutting out my heart.
Date: 7/11/2011
Thread: Obese man fights to get funding for gastric band surgery (UK - NHS)
Secret meaning: The Democrats demand of "shared" sacrifice reeks of a demand of human sacrifice with the highest income (not necessarily richest and certainly not old money Democrats) serving as the sacrifice. Don't worry, they'll get down to you pretty quickly.

Secret meaning: The Boehner plan of cutting a debt increase of $10 trillion increase in debt to a mere $9 trillion is pathetically weak. Start cutting from a zero baseline rather than assuming a 6-7% increase in government every year as a baseline.

Date: 9/5/2011
Thread:NO STADIUM 'WEATHER THREAT'
Secret meaning: The speaker at yesterday's Democratic National Convention told us that "Government is the only thing that we all belong to". That is a renunciation of Abraham Lincoln's reference to "government of the people, by the people and for the people" to be replaced with "a people of the government, by the government and under the government". I will not be a slave to the government! (Upon checking my recent taglines, 3 out of the last 5 refer to enslavement by the government in some way. I'm beginning to dig a rut which may eventually have to evolve into a trenchline.)

Watching Congress is like watching pro wrestling when you know both "sides" go back to a single locker room and laugh at the rubes they fooled this week.

Imagine combining everyone's phone calls, internet activity and medical records in one huge database available for the Democrat Party's political usage. The East German Stasi at least had to pay informants and manually tap phone lines.

Tagline: Why is our military going to be used as Al Qaeda's air force in Syria?
Date: 9/5/2013
Thread: Calls to Congress 499 to 1 against Syria war
Secret meaning: Obama is eager to kill someone in the name of peace. Too bad we don't really know who used nerve gas in Syria. If we destabilize Syria even more people will die because of it than died from nerve gas. And even worse, if the Syrian opposition gains power, a significant part of it is controlled by al Qaeda. In 12 years they will have gone from our number one enemy to Obama's pimp daddy.

Also there was not nearly as much figure skating. In previous years it seemed like one third of the non-commercial time was taken up by tear jerking stories about how the athlete overcame the fact that his pet cat only had three legs. Little Hoppy gave him the courage to persevere. Bleah!

Apparently in his blind hatred of cops he would rather see an innocent girl be stabbed to death than the guilty stabber be shot. Enjoy the chaos, millionaire basketball player, that you will impose on black neighborhoods in the misguided (or misguiding) attempts to prevent police violence. The death toll will be in the thousands in an attempt to stop a few police shootings - most of which like this Columbus incident are completely justified or even praiseworthy.

Secret meaning: The Antifa movement are nothing more than the Democrat Party's blackshirted thugs. They claim to be anti-fascist, but the difference between communists and fascists is razor thin. In fact, the Fascist Party in Italy formed when socialist party member Mussolini broke away over a foreign policy dispute in WW I. He kept their totalitarian economic and social beliefs.

I will always associate Antifa with the "Anti-fascist Protection Barrier" also knows as the Berlin Wall. So whenever you hear "anti-fascist" remember to translate it to "Communist Prison".

Other quotes that I may use in the future:

'If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.' - Mark Twain

“Socialists cry “Power to the people”, and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean—power over people, power to the State.” - Margaret Thatcher

Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." -- Thomas Mann

New from the author of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie": "If You Give a CEO a Billion Dollar Bailout"

And, we all know the underlying purpose of trying to circumvent the 2nd.

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”

Obama: Chicago politics, Detroit economics.

"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt." - John Adams (looking for attribution)

Quote Coburn used from Thomas Jefferson: I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Actual quote from http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/ot2www-foley?specfile=/texts/english/jefferson/foley/public/JefCycl.o2w&act=surround&offset=2976537&tag=2358.+ECONOMY,+Happiness+and.+--+&query=labors&id=JCE2358

If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy. --

Deer, skeet and burglars aren't dangers to "the security of a free state". Government is.

Picture in the on deck circle.
