You might be a racist if ...
"You might be a racist if you call Kanye West a jackass.
"But that was President Obama himself. Could the nation's first black president, whose election was supposed to usher in an age of post racial reconciliation, really be racist? It's an absurd proposition that shows just how absurdly easy it is for people to play the race card when they lack the ability or inclination to debate an issue on its merits.
"The irrational hatred of racists, of course, does exist. The scurrilous accusation of racism, however, detracts from its reality. That's why you might be a fool if you exploit its specter and, in so doing, obscure the real thing."

Baucus' cheaper Trojan horse by Herman Cain
"More people are hearing the experiences of patients in other countries, and the experiences of people like Dr. Michael Hogan, an orthopedic surgeon who was born in England, attended medical school and practiced medicine in Canada, and now practices medicine here in the United States in Georgia.
"When I asked Dr. Hogan on my radio show last week if he believed the bills being proposed by the Democrats would lead to health-care rationing, he responded without hesitation 'absolutely.' He went on to say that whenever government controls the purse strings it takes away choices, reduces productivity and creates waiting lists for medical services.
"Even worse, some people simply die while they are waiting for medical care.
"The president and the Democrats would call that a scare tactic. Dr. Hogan, patients and doctors call it reality in government-run health-care systems."

Don't tread on me! by Chuck Norris
"Regarding political accountability, Patrick Henry taught that, 'Our Constitution is … an instrument for its people to restrain the government.' Yet Washington politicians trample that founding document by their actions, bypassing its mandates, spinning its words to justify their choices, abandoning its balance of power and instead using it to accommodate their own desires, partisan politics and runaway spending.
"John Adams declared that, 'Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.' Yet we've bastardized the First Amendment, reinterpreted America's religious history, denied our Christian heritage and secularized our society until we ooze skepticism and circumvent religion on every level of public and private life."

Governor Paterson bucks President Obama: I'm still going to run in 2010
"Gov. Paterson pushed back yesterday against President Obama's stunning attempt to shove him from New York's political stage, insisting he won't abandon his run for governor.
"'I've said time and time again I am going to run for governor next year," he declared before the African American Day Parade in Harlem. 'My plans have not changed.'
"Still, many Democrats and union officials, including those close to Paterson, described the White House intervention as a final nail in the struggling governor's coffin."

Smack out of money
"Socialism is stealing by the government. It takes from one person and gives to another, and the government bureaucrats always take their cut out of the middle. If I go to your house and take your stuff and carry it back to my house, that's called stealing. If the government does the same thing, it's called compassion."
and
"The United States actually began with socialism. Both the Massachusetts Bay and Jamestown colonies started with a policy of putting all the food that they grew together and having everyone take what they needed. What happened? There were more takers than growers. Those who grew less stole from those who grew more. That socialism stopped when they saw they were running smack out of food. From then on, everyone ate what he grew, and the food supply increased."

Socialist euphemisms
"They know no one in their right mind would ever willingly accept the tyranny they seek to impose on us. So people need to be manipulated. They need to be indoctrinated. They need to be convinced that the current purveyors of socialism have learned from the mistakes of the past and have finally figured out how to make it work – even though it has failed 100 percent of the time it has been implemented."
