To keep a man a slave you do much the same as the cruel circus masters did to the elephant around the turn of last century. Clamp heavy chains around their legs and stake them to the ground. Then beat and terrorize them. After a while you no longer even have to stake the chain; the elephant gives up and just the mere rattle of the chain convinces the elephant there is no hope, so they give up and do whatever it is the circus requires.

I want you to understand clearly, I am not a journalist - be very clear on that. I am an opinion maker.

I could give a flying crap about the political process. We're an entertainment company.

Besides, life isn't meant to be safe. It's only in our mistakes, our errors, and our faults that we grow and truly live.

You can either complain about how hard your life is, or you can realize that only you are responsible for it.

We have a president who apparently loves instability and revolution, and that is the antithesis of those two words, Social Security.

I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.
