Biden's is a peculiar kind of "unity". One that is built, brick by brick, by pissing off half of the country with something he says every single day!- Mike B.
The stock market is not in turmoil - billionaire hedge funds are in turmoil. Two different things. It's a shame regulators, brokerage firms and media continue to provide cover for folks that go to work on helicopters from the Hamptons and say it's for folks that take the subway.-Charles V Payne
If Antifa leaves a pallet of bricks around for throwing, steal it and build that garden wall you've been wanting.- M. Mitchell Marmel
“If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.”― Dave Barry
* Something that is obviously so true it bears repeating * Something that is obviously so false it bears mocking * The person speaking is important in relationship to what's being said * Something thought provoking * A colorful use of the Queen's English * An economy of speech, profundity in small compassHaving said that, if you want to take issue with any given quote, bring it on! We're all about the discussion of ideas, and if you believe the author of the quote got it wrong, let's hear it! Just don't assume that the reason I posted it was because I am wholly in agreement with either the quote or the author. I have quoted Barack and Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and any number of other miscreants. In those cases, I just think it's important that you see it.

"The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives."- Robert Maynard Hutchins
"When you say the universe was created by chance, you're saying it was created by nothing. It's the rabbit out of the hat, without a hat, or a rabbit, or a magician!"- R. C. Sproul
"Homophobic", "Islamophobic" and now "transphobic" are all words invented to shut down debate and discussion. When your opponent accuses you of "having an irrational fear", you are put on the defensive. My differences are not "irrational". I have no phobias.-Mike B
“They’re part of the big lie. Goebbels and the great lie. You keep repeating the lie, repeating the lie.”-Joe Biden Even though Biden mispronounced his name, I'm sure he is well acquainted with the concept of the "Big Lie". Consider Biden's own Big Lie about why he entered the race:
Remember seeing those neo-Nazis and white supremacists, coming out of fields spewing the same antisemitic bile heard across Europe in the ’30s. Remember the violent clash that ensued between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it. And remember what the president said when asked? He said there were, quote, very fine people on both sides. That was a wake up call for us as a country and for me a call to action.Which is NOT, of course, what Trump said at all! Which did not stop Herr Biden from repeating the lie at every opportunity. What Trump actually about the Neo-Nazis was this: The evidence that what Herr Biden was repeating was a Big Lie was abundant. Breitbart News , for one, presented him with the evidence.
Biden launched his campaign with the Charlottesville hoax, and persisted in doing so, even after Breitbart News confronted him last August with the fact that he was misquoting the president.Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, debunked the myth over and over. Yet, he persisted...(Biden that is) in telling the Big Lie. Of course, the "fine people" hoax was not the only Big Lie Used against Trump. From the very first day, when Trump announced his candidacy, the Big Lie was there. Trump, in speaking about illegal immigrants, emphasized that, numbered among those crossing the border unvetted, were murderers and rapists. The Big Lie, still spread among Democrats and their sycophants tday, is that "Trump calls Mexicans murderers and rapists." Four years that Big Lie has persisted, and no matter how many times they are shown the truth, they contunue to repeat the lie. Because, that's how Goebbels said it worked: Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it. A fact that did not escape Herr Beijing Biden. He rode that lie all the way to the White House.
"...demonization has torn us apart"-Joe Biden As he and his party demonize anyone who disagrees with them as racists, white supremacists and domestic terrorists.
"If you want to stop the violence, talk to the peaceful protesters and find out what they want."- Richard Fowler, liberal talking head Hmm. Wonder why they didn't take Richard's advice, but brought 20,000 National Guardsmen and razor wire fences to DC for the inauguration?
“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”- John Adams, 1775
"I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."- Thomas Jefferson Editor's Note: Typically, on Martin Luther King Day, I run a quote by MLK. But with the imminent formalization of a fraudulent election in the next 48 hours, I felt that Jefferson was more appropriate for the day.
"Nothing has done more Harm to the Christian Church than thinking the Examples recorded in Holy Scriptures, were written only to be read and not imitated by us."- George Whitefield
"The bibilical word for hope is different from our normal English use of the term. When we say in English that we hope something will happen, we are expressing our desire for a particular outcome about which we cannot be sure. In the biblical usage, hope is not an uncertainty but a certainty, which is why it is called "an anchor of the soul" (Heb. 6:19). It is theat which brings stability to us. It is faith looking to the future with the full assurance that God will do what He promises He will do."- R.C.Sproul
Don Lemon's opinion on the Bible ranks right up there with Al Capone's opinion on prohibition.-Mike B

“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”- Aristotle

“Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.”George Patton
Consider what thou wouldst have been but for divine grace. Look upon thyself as thou art now. Doth not thy conscience reproach thee? Do not thy thousand wanderings stand before thee, and tell thee that thou art unworthy to be called his son? And if he hath made thee anything, art thou not taught thereby that it is grace which hath made thee to differ?- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
How can we ever be so ungenerous as to doubt our God? Lord, throw down the Jezebel of our unbelief, and let the dogs devour it.-Charles H. Spurgeon
Every time a child, or other innocent bystander is killed by gang violence, and you call it "gun violence", you are not addressing the real problem. You will never find any real solutions if you never correctly identify the problem.- Mike B
That which thy fathers have bequesthed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst posess it.- Goethe
