Did You Hear What They Said?

That's right, True Believers! It's time for another rollicking edition of:



Remember, it's not a "hit piece"....it's a DIRECT QUOTE!

GOVERNMENT

"Like so many other things in Washington, the word 'hearing' in the U.S. Senate has absolutely nothing to do with the act of listening. It has everything to do with talking." —Rich Galen

"The worst failures of the past two weeks have been big government failures. The biggest successes, by contrast, have come out of this country's incredibly vibrant, amazingly diverse and fantastically generous civil society. Sooner or later, it will be impossible not to draw political lessons from that paradox." —Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum

"A republican form of government presupposes self-government—the capacity of citizens to govern themselves according to reason—and does not, if it intends to survive, champion them as 'victims' when they don't."--George Neumayr

"the Democrats are hoping to boost their party's sagging power and are threatening a filibuster if things don't go their way. Once again, they are prepared to make their case at the expense of what is right for the country."-- Mark Alexander

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have." —President Gerald Ford

"We may not imagine how our lives could be more frustrating and complex—but Congress can." —Cullen Hightower

"As we hear calls for a 'compassionate' response to the victims of this [hurricane] tragedy, it is important to remember that you can't be compassionate with other people's money. This difference is as simple as the difference between my reaching into my pocket for money to help someone in need and my reaching into your pocket for the same purpose. The former is charity—the latter is not." —Michael Tanner

"The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood." —President Grover Cleveland

CINDY SHEEHAN

"Speaking in front of more than 500 supporters in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Ms. Sheehan, speaking of Senator Clinton, said, "She knows that the war is a lie but she is waiting for the right time to say it."

Then, as the crowd cheered, she issued a challenge to Senator Clinton, saying, "You say it or you are losing your job."-- http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/19/politics/19sheehan.html

"Cindy Sheehan, originally a sympathetic figure, is now merely a pathetic one, and we're inclined to ignore her totally, except that we keep remembering all those Angry Left types who, a few short weeks ago, were declaring that she had 'absolute moral authority' and was going to transform American politics. If thinking about that doesn't give you a good, deep, soul-cleansing laugh, nothing will." —James Taranto

DEMOCRATS

"When the Democrats say something is "un-American," they usually mean something very American that they don't want in America anymore. Repeatedly during the presidential campaign the Democrats declared their independence from America -- and then were surprised when ordinary Americans went to the polls to give it to them."--George Neumayr

"There's such a broad ignorance or contempt for constitutional principles among the American people that any politician who bore truth faith and allegiance to the Constitution would commit political suicide." —Walter Williams

INSIGHT

"Great is the road I climb, but the garland offered by an easier effort is not worth the gathering." —Sextus Propertius

"Today's out-of-wedlock black births and single-parent households are triple what they were in the '40s and '50s. The collapse of the black family took off when big government programs, particularly welfare, were launched, compliments of black and white liberals, after the civil-rights movement." —Star Parker
