I can think of no better reason to vote against Obama than the prospect of an administration where any criticism of the President is treated as racism.

As my father-in-law once said, when they talk about taxes it's always for teachers, firemen, and police - but when they spend your taxes, it always seems to go to some guy in a leather chair downtown you never heard of.

The new racism is anything that might hurt a Democrat politically.

You can't be halfhearted in a revolution. Values that serve well in a civil society don't work in a state of nature.

The proverbial thirteenth chime of the clock - is not only wrong itself, but calls into question everything that came before it.

Government, we are sometimes told, is just another word for things we choose to do together. Like a lot of things politicians say, this sounds good. And, also like a lot of things politicians say, it isn't the least bit true. Many of the things government does, we don't choose. Many of the things we choose, government doesn't do. And whatever gets done, we're not the ones doing it. And those who are doing it often interpret their mandates selfishly.

With 'swift-boating' now being used by the ignorant as a synonym for false charges, it's worth remembering that it was John Kerry who had to retract his statement about his secret Christmas mission to Cambodia, despite it having allegedly been 'seared, seared' into his memory.
