Did You Hear What They Said?

Hello True-Believers!

As we settle in for another 6 weeks of Punxsutawney Phil-induced winter, here's another edition of The Perspective's signature series to keep the fires burning.

.

Remember, it's not a Danish cartoon. . .they actually said it!!!

A TIMELY REMINDER

.

"The more profoundly we study [the Bible], and the more closely we observe its divine precepts, the better citizens we will become and the higher will be our destiny as a nation."—President William McKinley

.

LIBERALISM IN DECLINE

"Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority." —Eric Hoffer

.

"As Hillary explained, the House 'has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard.' Yes, that's what was really missing on plantations during the slavery era: the opportunity to present a contrary view. Gosh, if only the slaves had been allowed to call for cloture votes. What a difference that would have made!"--Ann Coulter

.
"I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling,"--Cindy Sheehan, on Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez

.
"I don't support our troops. This is a particularly difficult opinion to have, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to put bumper stickers on his car." —Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein

.
"When Democrats began celebrating wildly the fact that they have done nothing to rescue Social Security, they handed Bush an opportunity to step away from the text and point out the partisan cynicism of celebrating failure. My comment would have been "Remember that applause 13 years from now when Social Security goes broke."--Michael Graham

ABORTION

.

"Every 38 seconds in America a woman lays her body down, feeling forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society has failed women. There is a better way."--Patricia Heaton, Feminists for Life celebrity spokesman

.
"When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." —Elizabeth Cady Stanton

.

.

SO TRUE. . .

.

"The Founding Fathers did not foresee a permanent political class, out of touch with the people and in touch only with their careers and self-interests." —Cal Thomas

.

"The government is still analyzing Osama bin Laden's latest tape. On his most recent release he called Bush a liar and said that he was just after oil. It's the usual stuff we have heard before. Like at the Golden Globes."--Jay Leno

.

"Hindsight alone is not wisdom, and second-guessing is not a strategy."--President George W. Bush

.

.

VALERIE PLAME BLAME GAME

.

"We have neither sought, much less obtained, 'all documents, regardless of when created, relating to whether Valerie Wilson's status as a CIA employee, or any aspect of that status, was classified at any time between May 6, 2003 and July 14, 2003."--Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald

And now for our MULTIPLE CHOICE question:

Who said the following?

"The framers of our Constitution believed that the judicial branch should be removed from politics and that its only goal should be the fair and impartial administration of justice. But in the last few months, the confirmation of a judicial nominee has become a spectacle of misrepresentation and single-issue politics. To allow this unprecedented practice to become the rule would jeopardize the integrity and independence of the American system of justice."

A) George W. Bush

B) Joseph Biden

C) Ronald Reagan

D) Pat Roberts
