With all due respect, it is not that Nancy Pelosi might be insane. It is that she isn't even in the same ZIPCODE as sane. She doesn't even know sane EXISTS. She saw a movie about sanity and rushed out of the theater. She will not get on an elevator if there are more than one sane persons on it. She is a buoy of insanity in the Great Insane Sea. Sanity has never even violated her airspace. Veni, Vidi, Krazy: She came, she saw, she got insane. She tends to her insanity like a stadium tends to its playing-field grass. She often asks her husband if her insanity makes her butt look big. She spoons with her insanity at night, and whispers sweet loving coos into its ear. The Aztec God of Insanity is named Pelosiqiazotal. She considers herself a Spartan warrior, defending the Thermopylae Gap from the armies of sanity. If she was the moon, there would be a tidal buildup of insane people caused by her insanity gravity. -FReeper Lazamataz

...There was a group back in the 1990s -- and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013

The primary beneficiaries of a socialist program are the socialist politicians. The secondary are the bureaucracies, and tertiaries are the supposed recipients. Everything after is fluff.

All politicians are scoundrels until proven otherwise. Once proven, they must make periodic installments of proof lest they be re-labeled a scoundrel.

It's my turn to decide what's fair...my turn, my turn, my turn!

The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. - Von Mises

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur -- what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! - Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn

Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power. - Benito Mussolini.

Creator makes man...Man makes states...States makes constitution and federal government...Rights flow in that direction.

The instant the constitution becomes a living document is the moment that it is mortally wounded.

Envy is not a virtue. Jealousy is not a family value. Socialism is institutionalization of jealousy, of envy, of covetness.

Cyprus - the beginning

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions. — Thomas Paine

I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves. - Harriet Tubman

“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” ― Benjamin Franklin

The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars. But they are not liars in the ordinary way, which is to say by choice. They are liars by necessity—often without even realizing that they are. Because they also lie to themselves. It is the political lie that gives their cause its life. -David Horowitz, June 2000

Muslim rage does not emerge from a deep respect for Allah but from the knowledge that their entire system of belief is a fraud that could never stand up to any scrutiny. If the world's religions were paintings in a museum, Islam would be a child's dirty smeared finger painting all in one color. - Daniel Greenfield, January 09, 2015, aka Sultan Knish

In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not 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...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.” ― Theodore Dalrymple

You see Republicans when they’re interviewed by left-wing reporters, and they get afraid. They want them to like them. They are not going to like us! They hate us. - Senator Ted Cruz, June 2015

Not Bolshevism, which Stalin liquidated along with all the old Bolsheviks; not Nazism, which perished along with Hitler in his Berlin bunker; not Fascism, which was left hanging upside down, along with Mussolini and his mistress, from a lamp-post—none of these, history will record, was responsible for bringing down the darkness on our civilization, but liberalism. -from The Great Liberal Death Wish by Malcolm Muggeridge

We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism. Children should be taught to hate their parents if they are not communist. — Lenin

Prior to the 2016 election few people understood that DC politicians don’t actually write legislation, lobbyists do. Politicians don’t write laws, their role is to sell legislation created by lobbyist groups. That is the modern legislative model; that’s how it really works. - Sundance, Conservative TreeHouse
