QUOTE OF THE DAY 

“Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow.”  —Elias Boudinot

WORST QUOTE OF THE DAY 

“…Abstinence Education is HARMFUL for GLBT students.” - Human Rights Campaign’s “Equally Speaking” for January 30, 2008

A DOSE OF REALITY
“Washington, D.C. is a place where delusions go to thrive. That explains why Congress and the president are now agreed on remedies that will not work,
expending money they do not have, to fix a problem that may not exist.” —Steve Chapman

“The fact that the market is not doing what we wish it would do is no reason to automatically assume that the government would do better.” —Thomas Sowell

“When the economy does not need a rescue plan and gets one, it’s called ‘campaign spending’. And this $150 billion stimulus package is nothing
more than campaign spending on the part of both parties.” —Rush Limbaugh

“Every candidate who repeats the misleading nonsense that ‘47 million in America have no health care,’ ought to be challenged with hard truth. The number is grossly inflated by including millions who are here illegally and millions of others who have the means to pay for health care insurance but refuse to adjust their budget and lifestyle. And don’t expect any media type to question where in the Constitution Congress derives any authority to dispense health care.” —Janet LaRue
