Whenever I’m caught between two evils, I take the one I’ve never tried.

You said, “but.” I’ve put my finger on the whole trouble. You’re a “but” man. Don’t say, “but.” That little word “but” is the difference between success and failure. Henry Ford said, “I’m going to invent the automobile,” and Arthur T. Flanken said, “But . . .” Personally, I’d be delighted to live in a country where happily married gay couples had closets full of assault weapons. – Instapundit showing why it is wrong to call him right wing For what Britons and Canadians pay in taxes for their miserable government health service, they ought to be entitled to three terminal diseases a year. – The incomparable Mark Steyn, being the incomparable Mark Steyn. (Personally, I find the NHS so unspeakable that I try to delay going to the doctor until those times that I visit Australia. But that might be just me). Do you want to help to kill an African? It’s very easy. Just sign Christian Aid’s petition against free trade. George W. Bush is a lying, collectivist, protectonist, big-government statist and I despise him. The only, and I do mean only reason I want him to win the election against the other lying, collectivist, protectonist, even bigger-government statist who I despise is to see the stunned faces of those people on the left when they get their arses kicked. Its an expensive ‘cheap thrill’ but I take ’em where I find ’em. Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal well meaning but without understanding. – Louis D Brandeis Russians do not have an equivalent of political correctness. Russian politicians don’t get brownie points for competitive empathy. There is no inclination to take a therapeutic view of cultural conflict. |
