I deserved better than to be bullshitted by the vice president,
If I were in the President's place, I would not get a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood hearing Mrs. Armey, standing over me, saying, 'How do I reload this damn thing?'
Spike Lee is obviously more stupid than anyone can be by accident.
I don't believe America will justifiably make an unprovoked attack on another nation. It would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or what we should be as a nation.
The people themselves, not their government, should be trusted with spending their own money and making their own decisions.
Government is saying to the average citizen every January 1: 'For the next five months you'll be working for us, for goals we shall determine. Is that clear? After May 5 you may look after your own needs and ambitions, but report back to us next January. Now move along.' ...

[T]he tax code has been piling up, year after year, a symbol of everything gone wrong in America, of arrogant rulers and lost freedom, just waiting for us to pick the whole thing up and heave it away. It has to happen. Free people can put up with such laws only for so long.

At least if we don't close down the Environmental Protection Agency, we at least put a snaffle bit on them and ride the pony down.
After months of lies, the president has given millions of people around the world reason to doubt that he has sent Americans into battle for the right reasons, ... The fact that Americans are expressing these doubts shows that the president is losing his ability to lead. If the president refuses to resign for the sake of the nation, I believe he should be impeached and face Senate trial.
I would be looking up from a pool of blood and hearing my wife ask 'How do I reload this thing'.
The average family pays more in taxes than it spends on food, clothing, and shelter combined.
Demagoguery beats data in making public policy.
