About Me

Comfort is the strongest depressant for creativity."All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit." - Thomas PaineBill O'Reilly's opinion actually matters to people. This man:Abso...lutely!"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist" - Eisenhower's Farewell Address"If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough and often enough, the people will believe it. The secret to get someone to believe a lie is constant repetition. Just tell it over, and over, and over again." - Adolph Hitler"See in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." - George W. Bush"America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." - Hunter S. Thompson"Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." - Adolph Hitler"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator" - G.W. Bush [CNN 12/18/00]"Fascism will come to this country and it will come disguised as Americanism" - Governor Huey Long"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." Franklin D. Roosevelt
