Bet this post sinks like a lead weight, but what the hell. I came across a quote by Oscar Wilde and thought of the average freeper. Anyone else have a thought????
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation" Oscar Wilde

1. Freeper rhetoric "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." |
|
Us to a Freeper: "All motion is relative. . .perhaps it is you who have moved away by standing still."
Us to a born again: "As long as the path to that everstanding hope is ignorance, bigotry and hate, I say to hell with it."

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.- John Stuart Mill
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.- John Kenneth Galbraith
The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.-- G. K. Chesterton
The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then get elected and prove it.- P. J. O'Rourke
A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.-- Elbert Hubbard
Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions. Conservatives feel they deserve everything they've stolen.- Mort Sahl
The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them.- Mark Twain
The trouble with radicals is that they only read radical literature, and the trouble with conservatives is that they don't read anything. -- Thomas Nixon Carver
Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future. --- Benjamin Disraeli
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear. --- William E. Gladstone
"Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved." ~ Aristotle (384-322 BC)
"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality." ~ George Washington (1732-1799)
Divine right went out with the American Revolution and doesn't belong to the White House aides. What meat do they eat that makes them grow so great? --- Senator Sam Ervin

"The only truly new ideas has come up with in the last twenty years are: (1) supply side economics, which is a way of redistributing the wealth upward toward those who already have more than they know what to do with, and; (2) creationism, which is a parallel idea for redistributing ignorance out from its fundamentalist strongholds to those who know more than they need to."
-Barbara Ehrenreich
