Quotable Quotes: On Self-Defense

"If someone is coming to kill you, kill him first." The Talmud.

This may be more of a paraphrase than an exact quote, but the point is nonetheless well made.

Quotable Quotes: On Socialism

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson.

Socialism as we understand it didn't exist in Jefferson's day but he obviously had an uncomfortable inkling it was coming. Sadly, it seems that we as a people have decided not to heed this Founder's warning.

Quotable Quotes: On Liberals

"[C]ontrarianism is creativity for the untalented." Dennis Miller, on The O'Reilly Factor, Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2007, describing the treasonous liberals who are desperate for an American defeat in Iraq and the larger war on terror. Great line!

Quotable Quotes: On War

"We are going to kill [the] German bastards. I would prefer to skin them alive but, gentlemen, I fear some of our people at home would accuse me of being too rough." Gen. George S. Patton.

Substitute "Muslim" for "German" and this is what we should be saying in our war against jihad but, alas, political correctness has even more of a strangle hold on Americans now than it did in Patton's time.

Quotable Quotes: On Free Speech

"Some people's idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage." Sir Winston Churchill

I didn't know Sir Winston understood liberals so well.

"The future belongs to the fertile and the confident." Mark Steyn, conservative columnist, in his new book, "America Alone". Sadly, America and the West are neither and Muslims are both. Heaven help us.

Quotable Quotes: On Peace

"Don't fall in love with peace at any cost; it will always make [you] do the wrong thing." Glenn Beck, on The Glenn Beck Show, July 18, 2006.

Quotable Quotes: On Tolerance

I found the first quote while surfing through blogs on blogclicker.com. I don't recall where I heard the second quote. Both quotes should make everyone who mindlessly worships at the altar of tolerance think.

"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions." G. K. Chesterton

"Tolerance is the transition stage from one orthodoxy to another."

And one more I just remembered: "Tolerance is the last virtue of a virtueless society." Quoted by Dr. D. James Kennedy on his tv show, The Coral Ridge Hour.

Doesn't it make you think?
