Lincoln

I have never seen so many words put into so small an idea.

Justice Ginsburg racist

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gives a racist answer as to why she supports Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that allowed virtually unlimited abortions. Ginsburg spoke with New York Times Magazine and is set to be released in print on Sunday, but the interview has already been published online. Ginsburg says she backs Roe to eliminate "populations that we don't want to have too many of."

Coulter on Palin

Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like a beautiful Christian conservative.

Jaki. Proving the existence of God

For reasons inherent in the method of physical science, no watertight proof of the existence of God can be built on its data and conclusions. But this also meant that no refutation of the existence of God could he built on physics either.

Lincoln on slavery

“What we want, and all we want, is to have with us the men who think slavery wrong. But those who say they hate slavery, and are opposed to it, but yet act with the Democratic party — where are they? Let us apply a few tests. You say that you think slavery is wrong, but you denounce all attempts to restrain it. Is there anything else that you think wrong, that you are not willing to deal with as a wrong? Why are you so careful, so tender of this one wrong and no other? You will not let us do a single thing as if it was wrong; there is no place where you will allow it to be even called wrong! We must not call it wrong in the Free States, because it is not there, and we must not call it wrong in the Slave States because it is there; we must not call it wrong in politics because that is bringing morality into politics, and we must not call it wrong in the pulpit because that is bringing politics into religion; we must not bring it into the Tract Society or the other societies, because those are such unsuitable places, and there is no single place, according to you, where this wrong thing can properly be called wrong!”

H R Clinton

Hillary Rodham Clinton, likes the shovel-ready metaphor, too. "You know," she told a television interviewer the other day, "we are in just so many deep holes that everybody had better grab a shovel and start digging out."

Digging out of a hole?

Quotas

"Is the applicant black, female or otherwise handicapped?"
