***FAMOUS LINES IN HISTORY

[truckinbutch]

Jeff: I got to hand it to you, that was an excellent reply. It explained how that part of the censor system works. You also dug up an excellent quote. My only question is why does the "FILTER" discriminate? It appears to only protect Blacks and Japanese in plural. It ignored the derogatory term for Bohemians. Would it remove spic or mic or any of the others?

There's your answer on that in print .
Redneck , hillbilly , and jackwagon all seem to pass through unscathed as well .

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

........Abraham Lincoln

"A good government implies two things;
first, fidelity to the objects of the government;
secondly, a knowledge of the means, by which those objects can be best attained."

--Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833

 

[Old Dog]

"That wise Men have in all Ages thought Government necessary for the Good of Mankind; and, that wise Governments have always thought Religion necessary for the well ordering and well-being of Society, and accordingly have been ever careful to encourage and protect the Ministers of it, paying them the highest publick Honours, that their Doctrines might thereby meet with the greater Respect among the common People."

--Benjamin Franklin, On that Odd Letter of the Drum, 1730

"The United States of America is the greatest country and California is its greatest state". ...Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.....Eat your heart out Texas...

If that is true, why are all these folks from your great state of confusion trying to californicate mine?

(no offense meant Mike, Just asking)

From my experience most the people I know who left the state of Calif. to move to other states are the good people. They are sick of the illegal alien invasion, high taxes, crazy insane liberals, and the penalizing and punishment of small business.
