Economics and Politics and Quote of the Day and Tax and Truth , 1IDVET 10:33

This is from Thomas Sowell. I really like this guy. He’s all over it when it comes to the economy and other issues of the day. Here’s a quote from his Random Thoughts post over at Townhall.

He has more at this post, go enjoy a smart man’s comments…

What do you call it when someone steals someone else’s money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else’s money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.

Economics and Failure and Government and Quote of the Day , 1IDVET 07:12

Excellent quote. This puts things into perspective in a rather simplistic way that clarifies it for the rest of us rubes.

“If the US Government was a family—they would be making $58,000 a year, spending $75,000 a year, & are $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget & debt, reduced to a level that we can understand.” —Dave Ramsey

Conservatism and Libertarianism and Politics and Quote of the Day and Truth , , 1IDVET 07:29

Stole this from Hot Air:

GQ: Your new movie is called Friends with Benefits. Ever been in one of those relationships?

Mila Kunis: Oy. I haven’t, but I can give you my stance on it: It’s like communism—good in theory, in execution it fails.

Friends of mine have done it, and it never ends well. Why do people put themselves through that torture?

Killer Quote… Tuesday, Jun 21 2011 

Military and Quote of the Day and US Army , , 1IDVET 11:05

I love this quote.

It hits the nail on the head and drives it through a 2×4 in one whack!

“I’ve never heard of a Soldier getting scared in those moments, only angry: A hot, ancient rage over the fact that someone they’d never met was actually trying to kill them and their friends. Patriotism on its own couldn’t take a hilltop from a troop of Boy Scouts, but that rage will win battles, change wars.”

-Sebastian Junger, Embedded with the 173rd ABCT, Korengal Valley, Afghanistan–Return to the Valley of Death, Vanity Fair, October
2008.

Axis of Idiots and Buyers' Remorse and Comarade Obama and Democrats and Failure and Government and Lies and Neo-Marxists and Politics and Quote of the Day and Socialism , , , , , 1IDVET 15:29

This hits the nail square on the head.

A word on the matter of competence: Obama is slowly being stripped of any reputation for ability he may have accrued during his political career. The Deepwater Horizon blowout, the Korea crisis, Iran, Sestak…Commandant Zero is being revealed as the most inept president on record. This is in no way hyperbole; it is a sober evaluation of the record as it exists. Fillmore, Buchanan, and even Carter are simply not in the running here. As a schlemiel, Obama stands in a class by himself, a man who not only can’t solve problems, but can’t recognize them when they appear.

Quote of the Week… Thursday, Feb 18 2010 

Axis of Idiots and Buyers' Remorse and Climategate and Comarade Obama and Democrats and Global Warming Scam and Global Whining and Globalism and Government and Politics and Quote of the Day and Socialism and Stupid People , , , , , , , , , , 1IDVET 16:54

This has got to be the quote of the week. If not, it’s in the top three.

One day this week, there was measurable snow on the ground in 50 states. (No report yet from the other seven of the “57 states” President Obama once said he was campaigning to be the president of.) Even Hawaii reported snow on some of its mountain peaks, and several towns in northwestern Florida were lightly dusted, like the powdered sugar on a cop’s doughnut.

PRUDEN: The red-hot scam unravels
By Wesley Pruden

You can fool some of the people some of the time, as Abraham Lincoln observed, and you even can fool all the people some of the time. But you can’t fool all the people all the time. Al Gore and his friends got so excited about points one and especially point two that they forgot point three.

Not everybody is on to the global-warming scam, not yet, but all the people — or enough of them — are getting there. “Global warming,” or even “climate change” as Al’s marketing men now insist that it be called, is becoming the stuff of jests and jokes. Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, a Republican, built an igloo of that hot stuff that buried Washington last week on the Capitol lawn and dubbed it “Al Gore’s new home.”

Buyers' Remorse and Comarade Obama and Quote of the Day , 1IDVET 17:18

Quote of the day:

The payoff in budget savings would be small relative to the deficit: The estimated $250 billion in savings over 10 years would be less than 3 percent of the roughly $9 trillion in additional deficits the government is expected to accumulate over that time.

Here’s an absolute gem for the quote of the day:

“The only thing growing faster than the federal deficit and debt is Chris Matthews’ man crush on Obama.” – Tim Pawlenty

Tim Pawlenty foresees GOP surge if health plan is rejected

CHICAGO – Minnesota GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty took an aggressive line against President Barack Obama’s proposed health care overhaul Friday and insisted that a rejection of the Democratic plan could usher in a Republican resurgence.

“It appears that President Obama is making great progress on climate change, he is changing the political climate in the country back to Republican,” Pawlenty said during a speech to the second annual GOPAC conference in Chicago.

Quote of the Day 1IDVET 15:34

I had a few posts today and will end with this.

Funny quote of the day:

“How do you personally feel about the President?”

Happy, plus I’m really good-looking

Unhappy, and I’ve gone all pear-shaped and I smell like funky cheese

Angry, crazed, and racist, and also my dick is the size of watch-battery and/or I’ve got chronic swamp-ass

This comes from Ace of Spades:

Quote of the Day 1IDVET 14:03

Quote of the day. I wanted to start this sooner, but just didn’t remember to do it. At any rate, the quote of the day will either be funny, or stupidity at its finest. Probably both. Today, it’s humorous because of stupidity. Man, did I connect those dots, or what?

I got from one of the first things I read this morning.

“Also sermons on moral equivalence from John Kerry are “illuminating” and farting loudly in elevators is “making new friends”.”

This is where I got it:

Irrelevant Senator Defends Iran’s Right to Enrich Uranium

It’s odd, the reflexive argument about nuclear energy from Democrats. We sure as hell can’t have it here, but goddamnit, we have no business telling oil-rich Iran they can’t make them some nuclear power plants or weapons or whatever the hell they want to do.

Wow. I stand corrected. There’s at least two, probably more quotes that just tickle my funny bone. It’s easily tickled, but I have to put it out there in the name of full disclosure and all.

“And also because Contessa Brewer is a cheap, sore-riddled nasty bit of gutterscrunge who’ll rent you her mouth for the change in your pocket. A tawdry wallow-trollop oozing with syphilitic fester who raises her filthy skirts at the scent of crack-smoke. A disease-dripping pincushion, the media’s vile mattress of last resort, a pathogen in garish vinyl high heels, a loose-toothed croup-breathed nightcrawler reeking of bathtub gin and the genetic stink of human desperation.”

Google It: Can’t Seem to Find Anyone Who Publicly Called Contessa Brewer a “Slut” or “Whore”
Correction: Imus Called Her a Skank, But Contessa’s Spokesman Called That Comment “Over the Line”

MSNBC anchorbint insists that it’s no big deal to call a woman “slutty” because, she suddenly claims, she has also been called that, and yet survived the ordeal.

Well, for one thing, one’s survival in such situations is hardly in doubt. That doesn’t really establish the proposition she’s hinting at, that is, that it’s not a big deal and perfectly fair.

For the next thing: When Ziegler asks if she’d been called a slut by Letterman, she allows that she hasn’t, but that it was “public.”

And here’s where I got this one. Ace was on a roll today. I could have thrown a few more in here.
