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."

QUOTE: 7-12-09
"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: 7-11-09
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
George Washington

QUOTE: 7-10-09
"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: 7-9-09

could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others."
James Madison

QUOTE: 7-8-09

phrase for a bad execution; and a government ill executed, whatever may be its theory, must be, in
practice, a bad government."
Alexander Hamilton

QUOTE: 7-7-09
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be

lost, is lost forever."

QUOTE: 7-5-09
"Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies
subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future
and crimes from society."
Benjamin Franklin

QUOTE: 7-4-09
"Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our
supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the
throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is
no longer any room for hope."
Patrick Henry

QUOTE: 7-3-09
"We're in the middle of a crash. So if I'm going to forecast something, it is that it's going to get worse, not better."
Nassim Taleb

QUOTE: 7-2-09
"You might be a scaredy-cat if ... the president of France is talking tougher than you are."
Ann Coulter

QUOTE: 7-1-09
"The point is the control from here. We have never had that in the White House. And we have had some control
but not this control. I mean I'm amazed, I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and
you have controlled..."
Helen Thomas

QUOTE: 6-30-09

QUOTE: 6-29-09

QUOTE: 6-28-09
"Brave men earn the right to shape their own destiny."

for food, gasoline and electricity."

Andrew Wilkow

QUOTE: 6-25-09
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt
every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it
happened."
Norman Thomas

QUOTE: 6-24-09
"If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they're offering
a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is going to drive them
out of business? That's not logical."
President Barack Obama

QUOTE: 6-23-09
"The president of the United States is supposed to lead the free world, not follow it. He's been timid and passive
more than I would like."

QUOTE: 6-17-09
"I am now the target of the most powerful man in this country, with an army of aides whose major responsibility
today seems to be to attack me and get rid of me."
Gerald Walpin

QUOTE: 6-16-09
"In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event [ABC handing over it's programming to the Obama
administration to push socialized medicine on the country] will become a glorified infomercial to promote the
Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers."
Ken McKay

QUOTE: 6-15-09
"It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's [Cheney] wishing that this
country would be attacked again, in order to make his point."
Leon Panetta

QUOTE: 6-14-09
"Hey—take it however you want to take it. It is a comment that came from the heart that Willow no doubt would

want to interpret it."
Sarah Palin

QUOTE: 6-13-09
"The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it

QUOTE: 6-11-09
"They said, 'Set aside the rule of law, let's strip secured creditors, bondholders, of their rights. Take them away
outside of the bankruptcy process and give them to the political cronies and the auto workers' unions. It's almost
like looking at Putin's Russia."
Eric Cantor

QUOTE: 6-10-09
"An arbitrary date on this nomination, [Sotomayor] when we're not clear yet how long it's going to take to work
our way through her extensive record ... strikes me as not a good way to proceed."
Mitch McConnell

QUOTE: 6-9-09
"You created a situation where you cannot be wrong. If the economy loses two million jobs over the next few
years, you can say yes, but it would've lost 5.5 million jobs. If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would
have lost 2.5 million jobs. You've given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can
take any scenario and make yourself look correct."
Max Baucus

QUOTE: 6-8-09

had a better position to be hired."
Jeff Sessions

QUOTE: 6-2-09
"We know some of this money [stimulus bill] is going to be wasted."
Joe Biden

QUOTE: 6-1-09
"You never want to have the government involved in your business. They’re not businessmen; they’re
bureaucrats. They don’t understand capitalism, they don’t understand the profit motive and they don’t understand
the financial industry."
Philip Orlando
