"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." - Theodore Roosevelt
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
"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." - Theodore Roosevelt
fucking right!
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

What a joke, W has never questioned anyone's patriotism...the paranoia of the radical left have imagined it...just another dumbed down bumper sticker slogan...can't wait for the "they hate our freedom" jab.
BTW - What do you think of TR's illegal war?
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as
a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a
looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they
give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing
robes, the grace, bald . . . striking.
"So I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and
whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a 10,000-foot crevice,
right at the base of this glacier. . . .
"So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey,
how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.' And he
says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed,
you will receive total consciousness.'
"So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
-tolkien, the lord of the rings
It seems to me that man has engaged in a blind and fearful struggle out of a past he can't remember, into a future he can't forsee nor understand. And man has met and defeated every obstacle, every enemy except one. He cannot win over himself.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world’s original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, History would have been different.

Bullets cannot be recalled. They cannot be uninvented. But they can be taken out of the gun.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
