QUOTE OF THE DAY

This page will feature the quote of the day. Some days it will be a conservative quote. Other days it might be a
liberal quote (so that we can remember what we are up against.) One day it might be a current quote and the next
day it may be a historical quote. Some days it will have nothing to do with politics. Every once in a while I even
forget to post it until later in the day. Visit every day to read "The Quote of the Day."

President Barack Obama

QUOTE: 8-29-10

Marco Rubio

QUOTE: 8-28-10

of their skin but by the content of their character."
Martin Luther King Jr.

QUOTE: 8-27-10
"I think Barack Obama has done a good job as president. In fact, I'd say even better than good. Do I agree with
every single thing he's done? No. Is America perfect yet? Of course not. I must admit he's turned out to be an
excellent president."
Jerry Springer

QUOTE: 8-26-10
"We've seen more reform in the last year than we've seen in decades, and we haven't spent a dime yet."
Arne Duncan

QUOTE: 8-25-10

American ideas, and we should just talk about character, and that's really what this event is about. It's about
honoring character."
Glenn Beck

QUOTE: 8-24-10
"We've tried 19 months of government-as-community organizer. It hasn't worked. Our fresh start needs to begin
now."

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are completely out of touch."
Bill Riggs

QUOTE: 8-22-10
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately,
nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."
Patrick Henry

QUOTE: 8-21-10
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe.
The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people
are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the
United States."
Noah Webster

QUOTE: 8-20-10
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no
institution and no property can bear taxation."
John Marshall

QUOTE: 8-19-10
"An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood; but, if
this War should continue, I wish to have the most active part in it."
John Paul Jones

QUOTE: 8-18-10
"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole
force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their
virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."
Samuel Adams

QUOTE: 8-17-10
"A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may
achieve almost anything."
President George Washington

QUOTE: 8-16-10
"Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made
men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of
appearing."
Thomas Paine

QUOTE: 8-15-10
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should
be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal
limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."
President James Madison

QUOTE: 8-14-10
"Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs
of ambition."
President Thomas Jefferson

QUOTE: 8-13-10
"A fondness for power is implanted, in most men, and it is natural to abuse it, when acquired."
Alexander Hamilton

QUOTE: 8-12-10
"He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing."
Benjamin Franklin

QUOTE: 8-11-10
"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost
forever."
President John Adams

QUOTE: 8-10-10
"I think one of the problems Congress is suffering from right now is not enough time to listen to constituents, so it’s
a little frustrating that Speaker Pelosi has chosen to interrupt the time working in our districts to make us all fly
back to Washington to basically vote on one bill. This is not the greatest way to run Congress or the country."
Rob Bishop

QUOTE: 8-9-10
"Maybe the Democratic revolt in favor of keeping all the Bush tax cuts will gather steam. But Democrats are more
likely to push for greater spending than investment tax incentives. They’d rather take your money than let you keep
it."
Larry Kudlow

QUOTE: 8-8-10
"What is it today that scares people about Washington government to the point where some are arming
themselves? They're calling it illegitimate. This government was elected legitimately. They're calling it a tyranny. It's
not right/left anymore. It sounds revolutionary these people. All of them. Tea Party, militia, patriot groups, truths,
birthers, the whole crowd."
Chris Matthews

QUOTE: 8-7-10
"He [Obama] cannot leave us like this. He is leaving Iraq to the wolves."
Tariq Aziz

QUOTE: 8-6-10
"The biggest political change in my lifetime is that Americans no longer assume that their children will have it better
than they did. This is a huge break with the past, with assumptions and traditions that shaped us."

QUOTE: 8-5-10
"This isn't ‘Saturday Night Live,’ Al,"

QUOTE: 8-2-10
"The document provides an additional basis for our concerns that the administration will go to great lengths to
circumvent Congress and unilaterally execute a backdoor amnesty plan."

QUOTE: 8-1-10

sector."
Henry Hazlitt

QUOTE: 7-30-10
"We [black people] are sort of a mongrel people. I mean we're all kinds of mixed up."
President Barack Obama

QUOTE: 7-29-10
"A number of Democrats, including members of their leadership, have recently expressed a desire to ignore the
public will and use a lame duck session to pass liberal legislation Americans do not want."
Tom Price

QUOTE: 7-28-10
"Oh American people…We offered you a peace plan, and mutual benefit; but your governments were proud and
haughty, and so the attacks against you followed one after another, everywhere – from Indonesia to Times
Square, by way of Madrid and London. And the attacks are ongoing, and more will come one after another."
Ayman Al-Zawahiri

QUOTE: 7-27-10

of the future but by the past."
Patrick Henry

QUOTE: 7-24-10
"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom."
President John Adams

QUOTE: 7-23-10
"Where is the pre-emption if everybody who is arrested for some crime has their immigration status checked?"
Judge Susan Bolton

QUOTE: 7-22-10
"Everyone agrees that small businesses are job creators and the engine which drives the American economy. I am
dumfounded that this Administration is doing all it can to make it more difficult for businesses to succeed rather
than doing all it can to help them grow."
Daniel Lungren

QUOTE: 7-21-10
"The Republican tilt of the electorate little more than 100 days before the 2010 election is evident, but not
overwhelming. Republicans hold a 43 - 38 percent lead on the 'generic ballot,' compared to a 42 - 34 percent
Democratic lead in July 2009."
Peter A. Brown

QUOTE: 7-20-10
"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having
to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do."
Shirley Sherrod

QUOTE: 7-19-10
"This grassroots movement of the Tea Party, to me, is as American as it gets."
Rick Santelli

QUOTE: 7-18-10
"The Commerce Clause supplies sufficient authority for the shared-responsibility requirements in the new health
reform law. To the extent that there is any question of additional authority — and we don’t believe there is — it
would be available through the General Welfare Clause."
Dan Pfeiffer

QUOTE: 7-17-10
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - it's the difference
between the lightning bug and the lightning."
Mark Twain

QUOTE: 7-16-10
"As to the Black Panther Party, I'm simply not aware of that case."
Brad Sherman

QUOTE: 7-15-10
"The new bureaucracy is an enormous reach across virtually every segment of our economy, and a massive
expansion of government influence in our daily financial lives."
Richard Shelby

QUOTE: 7-14-10
"The public is looking at Washington and saying, 'A pox on all of their houses.' "
Evan Bayh

QUOTE: 7-13-10
"The president's strategy is absolutely clear about the threat we face. Our enemy is not terrorism because terrorism
is but a tactic. Our enemy is not terror because terror is a state of mind and, as Americans, we refuse to live in
fear. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists because jihad is holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of
Islam meaning to purify oneself of one's community."
John Brennan

QUOTE: 7-12-10
"This debt is like a cancer. It is truly going to destroy the country from within."
Erskine Bowles

QUOTE: 7-11-10
"In our judgment, we have reached a point where the negative effects of the proposed policies are simply too
significant to ignore."
Ivan Seidenberg

QUOTE: 7-10-10
"Members of Congress are supposed to represent their constituents, not override them like sore losers in a lame-
duck session."
Tom Price

QUOTE: 7-9-10
"I’m troubled that, rather than going through the standard nomination process, Dr. Berwick was recess appointed.
Senate confirmation of presidential appointees is an essential process prescribed by the Constitution that serves as
a check on executive power and protects Montanans and all Americans by ensuring that crucial questions are
asked of the nominee--and answered."
Max Baucus

QUOTE: 7-8-10
"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the
richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional."
Donald Berwick

QUOTE: 7-7-10
"I wouldn't say that there is an Islamic dimension to terrorism."
John Brennan

QUOTE: 7-6-10
"Obama is as hopeless, helpless, clueless and bankrupt of good ideas as the manager of the Chicago Cubs in late
September. This "community organizer" knows as much about private-sector jobs as Pamela Anderson knows
about nuclear physics."
Wayne Allyn Root

QUOTE: 7-5-10
"Facing a record deficit and a tidal wave of debt, House Democrats decided it was politically inconvenient to put
forward a budget and account for their fiscal recklessness. With no priorities and no restraints, the spending,
taxing, and borrowing will continue unchecked for the coming fiscal year."
Paul Ryan

QUOTE: 7-4-10
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of
the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and
organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Declaration of Independence

QUOTE: 7-3-10
"The cause of America is, in a great measure, the cause of all mankind."
Thomas Paine

QUOTE: 7-2-10
"Overall what this does is it reinforces the market's view that the U.S. recovery is losing steam."
Greg Salvaggio

QUOTE: 7-1-10
"It [unemployment checks] creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."
