Quote Of The Day – National Greatness Conservatism

Friday, August 8th, 2008

From NYT: “We are fast becoming a nation of alienating individualists, unwilling to put the unifying values of patriotism ahead of our narrow self-interests,” Mr. McCain warned in a speech during his 2000 presidential campaign. He added that “cynicism threatens to become a ceiling on our greatness.” The only people “alienated” by my individualism, as [...]

To A Politician, Vocalizing Opposition To His Policy Is Lying

Friday, August 1st, 2008

From Paul Jacob, always a fan of citizen initiatives and ballot measures*: Lying is objectionable, of course. But only certain kinds of lies — perjury, or lies used to steal from someone — should be punished by force of law. Some people, however, are forever seeking new ways to harass other people. Especially, it seems, [...]
