Rodak's post reminded me of this Steve Martin gem :
"I believe Ronald Reagan can return America to what it once was, a large continent covered by ice." |

Victor Hugo
Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head. An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise. What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold. Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. People do not lack strength; they lack will. The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous. I would rather be the head of a fly than the tail of a lion. Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars -all the beauties of creation. A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it. Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book. Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise. One can resist the invasion of an army but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas. Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other. To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do. The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. To love another person is to see the face of God. Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life. To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark. I repeat, whether we be Italians or Frenchmen, misery concerns us all. Those who live are those who fight. Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters. I think, therefore I doubt...... |

Hillary Clinton
I really do hope that we have a woman president in my lifetime. Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position. I will be laying out in detail, what I think we need to do with our friends and allies in Europe and elsewhere to do a better job of coordinating efforts against the scourge of terrorism. Our country deserves no less, because all of the other issues we want to deal with depend upon us being secure and strong. Hillary Clinton at the end of the day will be a friend of Wall Street. Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people... We should remember that just as a positive outlook on life can promote good health, so can everyday acts of kindness. I do agree that in particular, Turkey and the Gulf nations have got to make up their minds. Are they going to stand with us against this kind of jihadi radicalism or not? And there are many ways of doing it. They can provide forces. They can provide resources. But they need to be absolutely clear about where they stand. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like ISIS, a barbaric, ruthless, violent jihadist terrorist group. There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country. Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right. Gaddafi probably had more blood on his hands of Americans than anybody else. You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn't doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman's looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she's ugly, but everyone else thinks you're an idiot. When families are strong, America is strong. We cannot let a minority of people hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people We didn't put a single boot on the ground, and Gaddafi was deposed. The Libyans turned out for one of the most successful, fairest elections that any Arab country has had. They elected moderate leaders. We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society. The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope. I don't think we're at war with Islam. I don't think we're at war with all Muslims. I think we're at war with jihadists. We need a return to transparency and a system of checks and balances, to a president who respects Congress' role of oversight and accountability. I certainly think the free-market has failed. I don't think it was progressive to vote to give gun makers and sellers immunity. I don't think it was progressive to vote against Ted Kennedy's immigration reform. There cannot be true democracy unless women's voices are heard. There cannot be true democracy unless women are given the opportunity to take responsibility for their own lives. God bless the America we are trying to create. |
