Procrastination

“Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.” 

― Denis Waitley

Nullification is the key not Secession


"Nullification.
Simply defined, nullification is any act, or set of actions, that results in a particular law being declared unconstitutional and rendered null, void or even just unenforceable within the borders of a state."

"Rations of Slavery"


"It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle."

P. J. O'Rourke, in Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence, and a Bad Haircut‎ (1996), p. 227

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. 
John Quincy Adams

A liberal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money. 
Carter Glass

If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.

an American solution to every world problem....


And we must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent or omniscient that we are only 6 percent of the worlds population that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem. 

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Let us not.....


Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

The Aim of Practical Politics


The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Blameless - John Fullbright





Lover, please do not leave me departed
Finish the work that you started
Don't leave me some half painted dream
Tell me why she takes all the love that I give her
Flows down the path like a river
And throws my love out to the sea

Jesus, what do we say when they leave us
Why don't they ever believe us
Do they know not what they do?
Blameless, they say cupid's arrow is aimless
But I've got some names on this blame list
And they all point their fingers at you.

Windows, there's all kinds of lovers within those
And while they're together their love grows
Fogs up the windows at night
Questions, I've got more than I care to ask
They fall out like marbles on glass
And the answers don't seem to be right

Tomorrow, I'd trade all my nights for tomorrow
I'd trade all tomorrows to borrow
An hour of yesterday
And lovers, I guess that there's all kinds of lovers
Maybe I'll go find another
But she's probably a lifetime away

Jesus, what do we say when they leave us
Why don't they ever believe us
Do they know not what they do
Blameless, they say cupid's arrow is aimless
But I've got some names on this blame list
And they all point their fingers at you.
