On the other hand we've got Batman. . . a guy who works out alot?"

How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

A friend of mine was asked to a costume ball a short time ago. He slapped some egg on his face and went as a liberal economist.

Republicans believe every day is 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15.

Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, "What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power." But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.

When you see all that rhetorical smoke billowing up from the Democrats, well ladies and gentleman, I'd follow the example of their nominee; don't inhale.

Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.

It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.

I hope you're all Republicans.

To surgeons as he entered the operating room, March 30, 1981

The size of the federal budget is not an appropriate barometer of social conscience or charitable concern.

We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the
notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development.

We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.

Let us beware that while they [Soviet rulers] preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination over all the peoples of the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.... I urge you to beware the temptation ... to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Here are some quotes by some really "Whacked-Out", ignorant, paranoid Conspiracy "Nut Jobs".


"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli

"The ruling class has the schools and press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses." - Albert Einstein

The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes - Justice Felix Frankfurter

Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. - James A. Garfield

The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...[and] seizes...our executive officers... legislative bodies... schools... courts... newspapers and every agency created for the public protection. - John F. Hylan

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. - Thomas Jefferson

Capital must protect itself in every way... Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. - J.P. Morgan

The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any outcropping of what is now called 'a conspiracy theory of history.' For a search for 'conspiracies,' as misguided as the results often are, means a search for motives, and an attribution of individual responsibility for the historical misdeeds of ruling elites. If, however, any tyranny or venality, or aggressive war imposed by the State was brought about not by particular State rulers but by mysterious and arcane 'social forces,' or by the imperfect state of the world -- or if, in some way, everyone was guilty -- then there is no point in anyone's becoming indignant or rising up against such misdeeds. Furthermore, a discrediting of 'conspiracy theories' will make the subjects more likely to believe the 'general welfare' reasons that are invariably put forth by the modern State for engaging in aggressive actions. - Murray N. Rothbard

Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws. - Mayer Amschel Rothschild

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent. - James Paul Warburg

It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am. - George Washington

The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy. - Woodrow Wilson

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. - Woodrow Wilson

As many know, this is my favorite quote from the Bible. So let's get on our knees and praise the Holy, Just, Perfect and Loving Heavenly Father for his wisdom and benificence!

As he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.--2 Kings 2:23-24

"I have a deep suspicion of social institutions and tradition in general. I was brought up Catholic and, of course, I strayed and repudiated it. That’s a painful thing to go through, because you have to look back and realize that you wasted a gigantic chunk of your life. It’d probably be healthier to recall my past with wistful amusement, but I just can’t do it. I still feel betrayed. I didn’t want to be an iconoclast. As a child, I tried to play by the rules. I got very good grades in school, I was an Eagle Scout, and I believed in all of it. But I eventually realized that these institutions didn’t care about me."

"For me, marriage is a grotesque, unforgiving, clunky contrivance. Yet society pushes it as a shimmering ideal. It’s as if medicine came up with the iron lung, then stood back and said, “At last! Our work is done.” Men often struggle with their attraction to other women. They don’t quite understand why they have to be with the same woman forever. Marriage has a compassionate answer for them: “Oh, shut up, you selfish crybaby.” Is it any wonder men have to be pressured into this nasty, lopsided arrangement?"

"...the most oblivious people are often the happiest."

"To me, a mark of maturity is realizing that nobody runs the world. Fat-cat politicians and secret conspiracies don’t control our lives. In reality, the world is much more complex than that. The people who seem to have a lock on power get swept out in a couple of years. So it’s naïve to keep swinging at the same targets over and over. It took me a long time to realize, but most of the shackles that I flailed against were just illusory."

"I used to take a cruel delight in the failures of others. But I’m past that now. I know that everybody is trying really hard. Nobody is saying, “I’ll just slap together some piece of **** and float it out there and see if anybody likes it.”"

-George Meyer

Ha ha, I'm sure Shadowboxing and his ilk know MUCH more about the truth of how government runs. Yeah, after all, that's what they learned in COLLEGE and in the MEDIA.

Yeah. :rolleyes:Actually, I think I have said this, I don't watch television...and that includes televised news for the very reason I feel it is perverted to a particular viewpoint in order to maintain ratings and sway emotions. So Einstien is very much in agreeance with me on this one, however College is not some information/brainwashing center you make it out to be--especially since I decide which courses I take.

And ironically that Thomas Jefferson quote will serve my Senior Honors Essay quiet well since the topic I picked for my final essay is how Corporations will eventually take the place of Government and will set up a Government not unlike socialism where citizens are somewhat deprived of their wealth and merit will determine your standing. So I am way ahead of the curve on this one thank you.

However taking quotes out of context, or just posting cynical intellectuals talk of Government is really unintelligent on your part. For everytime a Jefferson or Wilson talks of Government being "evil" or "corrupt" I could find you a quote by Albert Einstien on why "God is real" or a quote by Nitzche on why "God is dead". Philosophical arguments are never one side, you of all people ought to know this. I have never said "Government is perfect". In fact I openly criticize ours as "slow" and "ineffective". One of the reasons I see Corporations as the new Government is because their means of production with regards to goods and services outpaces Government and people would eventually get fed up with their leaders inability to provide for them in such a fashion. Furthermore overpopulation, lack of resources and our usual war mongering ways will destroy us within a few hundred years.

Government, Democracy or otherwise is just a band aid on a broken leg that is humanity.

"We’re surrounded. That simplifies our problem of getting to these people and killing them."
-Lieutenant General Lewis "Chesty" Puller

In reference to when the Marines were cut off behind enemy lines during the Korean War and the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting the highest casualty ratio on an enemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. An enemy division is 16500+ men while a Marine division is 12500 men.

Chesty Puller is a god.

"Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself."

Think for yourself... Question authority.

- Timothy Leary









Idk to me this is a very meaningful quote and i agree with it 100%, if you think about it it makes alot of sense, we were given limits and boundary's, we were given rules and order, we were given religion, education, leaders.

were all just part of the never ending society that man has portrayed as a perfect world.


honestly i don't agree with it one bit, how man made order and how he envisioned it basically his version of how society should work and move. this is not the way i or many other people see it, I do think for myself and i do question authority, the thing you have to just ask is, why....

It's a rare condition, this day and age,
to read any good news on the newspaper page.
Love and tradition of the grand design,
some people say it's even harder to find.

Well then there must be some magic clue inside these tearful walls
Cause all I see is a tower of dreams
real love burstin' out of every seam.

As days go by,
we're gonna fill our house with happiness.
The moon may cry,
we're gonna smother the blues with tenderness.

When days go by,
there's room for you,
room for me,
for gentle hearts an opportunity.

As days go by,
it's the bigger love of the family.

My all-time favorite quote is still from the Savior's mouth...

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it through Him. He who believes in the Son is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." ~Jesus Christ (speaking to Nicodemus), John 3:16-18~

Here are some others I like as well...

"You get rid of racism by not spreading it. Don't tell your kids they're white. Don't tell them they're black. Lose your color, but never your culture." ~Rev. Jesse Duplantis~

"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation, to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."~John Jay, 1st U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, 1816~

"Our Laws and our institutions are necessarily based upon the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise, and in this sense, and to this extent, our civilization and our institution are emphatically Christian."~U.S. Supreme Court, 1892~

"No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."~Noah Webster, U.S. statesman and creator of Webster's Dictionary~

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often, that this great country was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom to worship here."~Patrick Henry~

"On my world, we have learned that an inauguration is simply a signal to assassins that a new target has been set up on the firing range."

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

MUSKIE (campaigning in Wisconsin): "He talked like a farmer with terminal cancer trying to borrow money on next year's crop."
WALLACE (campaigning in Florida): " The air was electric even before he started talking, and by the time he was give or six minutes into his spiel I had a sense that the bastard had somehow levitated himself and was hovering over us. It reminded me of a Janis Joplin concert."

Hunter S. Thompson on several presidential campaign contenders in Newsweek (quoted from "Fear and Loathing: The Strange and Terrible Saga of Hunter S. Thompson by Paul Perry).

And of course...

" We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive.." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going around a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

[Addendum]

The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else. - Theodore Roosevelt
