country war hero
Benedict Arnold was a war hero, wounded in battle--before he turned against his country. Hitler was likewise a decorated and wounded veteran of the First World War. Being a war hero is not a lifetime...exempt[ion]...from responsibility for what you do thereafter.
facts relevance
Relevance is not something you can predict. It is something you discover after the fact.
long depth height
Neither the depth of despondency nor the height of euphoria tells you how long either will last.
thumbs legislation partisans
As a rule of thumb. Congressional legislation that is bipartisan is usually twice as bad as legislation that is partisan.
differences people trying
The biggest difference between people is between those who are trying to do the right thing - whether or not they succeed - and those for whom the only question is how much they can get away with.
red-flags warning might
We might have been better off if the question of Obama's patriotism had been raised before he was first elected. Never should we ignore so many red flag warnings again.
country hate taken
Someone once said that many bad policies are just good policies that have been carried too far. For example, we have taken tolerance to such an extreme that we tolerate the immigration into our country of millions of intolerant people who hate millions of Americans who are already here.
self-esteem taken school
The promotion of "self-esteem" in our schools has been so successful that people feel free to spout off about all sorts of things - and see no reason why their opinions should not be taken as seriously as the views of people who actually know what they are talking about.
effort president littles
Nobody would put as little thought and effort into buying an automobile as they put into deciding who to elect as President of the United States.
country america people
A friend from India told me that a countryman of his said: "I want to go to America. I want to see a country where poor people are fat."
greed want use
It is amazing how many of the intelligentsia call it "greed" to want to keep what you have earned, but not greed to want to take away what somebody else has earned, and let politicians use it to buy votes.
income may rich
Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all - inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all.
party mean government
'Fair' is one of the most dangerous concepts in politics. Since no two people are likely to agree on what is 'fair,' this means that there must be some third party with power - the government - to impose its will. The road to despotism is paved with 'fairness'.
faces conservative liberalism
Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face.
