As we enter into another holiday season let us be thankful - thankful for the love of family, the kindness of friends, and the fact that this stupid presidential election is over at last. But to listen to what is being said by the mainstream TV and newspaper pundits you'd think that the election is still being waged. It doesn't matter that the Democrats have won, it is simply not enough. The degree of George W. Bush hatred is so strong in some leftist commentators that it seems the only thing that would make them really happy is for Obama to literally walk up to Bush with a dagger, ala Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and personally do him in. "Et tu, Obama?"
I'm saddened to think that the man who will soon be in charge is committed to changing my country. You see, I like my country the way it is. Oh sure, things can be improved on and some changes (like a revised income tax system) would be a good idea, but basically I like America as the great and wonderful place that it has always been. That "shining city on a hill" that President Reagan so often spoke of. I'm not anxious to see my country "changed." Changed to what?
So on the heels of a presidential election which could indeed change our country in drastic ways not yet known to most of us, I would like to share some clever quotes sent to me by a friend. These words of wisdom are right on the money. Some of them you may have heard before, some are funny, but there is a sad truth in all of them.
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
Thomas Jefferson
If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
Mark Twain
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
Winston Churchill
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
George Bernard Shaw
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man; a debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
G Gordon Liddy
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)
Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it; If it keeps moving, regulate it . . . and if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan (1986)
I don't make jokes I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will Rogers
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!
P.J. O'Rourke
In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
Voltaire (1764)
Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!
Pericles (430 B.C.E.)
No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
Mark Twain (1866 )
Talk is cheap . . . except when Congress does it.
Unknown
The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan
What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.
Edward Langley, Artist (1928 1995)
For every action there is an equal and opposite government program.
Bob Wells
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
Aesop
