28 Mar 2012 8:57 am John Hawkins

“It was not until the Abraham Lincoln administration that an income tax was imposed on Americans. Its stated purpose was to finance the war, but it took until 1872 for it to be repealed. During the Grover Cleveland administration, Congress enacted the Income Tax Act of 1894. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1895. It took the Sixteenth Amendment (1913) to make permanent what the Framers feared — today’s income tax.” — Walter Williams
“Black politicians and civil rights organizations’ loyalty to the education establishment means academic doom to …

28 Mar 2012 5:16 am John Hawkins

Charles Murray’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 has been one of the most innovative and talked about political books of 2012 with good reason.

In the 1963 Current Population Survey, a divorced person headed just 3.5 percent of American households, with another 1.6 percent headed by a separated person. — P.4

“The al-Qaida cell broken up near Buffalo, N.Y., contains some citizens who also found themselves in Afghanistan, training for the Great All-Around Satan Smiting. Treason? Oh, of course not. They were on a religious pilgrimage and got lost. Happens all the time. I knew a kid who went to Lutheran Bible Camp and turned up six years later in a Christian Identity compound with a shaved …

“After all the speculation about the sniper terrorizing Maryland and Virginia, at last we have some cold hard facts. He is a Muslim. He converted to Islam 17 years ago. He changed his name to John Muhammad. He belonged to Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. He cheered the terrorist attack of Sept. 11. He registered his getaway vehicle with the DMV on the anniversary of Sept. 11 � writing down the time of registration as 8:52 a.m. Naturally, therefore, the mainstream media have decided the crucial, salient fact about sniper …

25 Mar 2012 8:51 am John Hawkins

The Best Quotes From A Year Of Dick Morris Columns — 11/17/02 — 11/17/03
24 Mar 2012 8:49 am John Hawkins

“Fom the out set, the War on Terror was sharply different from other U.S. military actions in the strong support it received from American women. Normally, men back military action by 10 to 20 points more than women do. But, after 9/11, women felt more endangered by terror and backed action against the Taliban and Osama bin Laden as strongly as men did.” — Dick Morris

Victor Davis Hanson’s Best Quotes From His 2003 National Review Columns
23 Mar 2012 8:48 am John Hawkins

“Sadly, prosperous Westerners never seem to learn of the folly of honoring appeasement and naivet� � the awarding of Nobel Peace Prizes to the likes of a Le Duc Tho and Yasser Arafat, as if global praise might make them statesmen rather than murderers, to a Kim Dae Jung as if his demonstrable kindness would pacify rather than embolden North Korea, or to ex-President Carter as if his well-meaning parleys with tyrants could bring peace. As chief executive emeritus, his saintliness now plays well; but we forget in the rough …

The 10 Worst Quotes From The Democratic Underground For 2003
22 Mar 2012 8:47 am John Hawkins

10) “A war of real information and real issues alone is doomed to fail. The Texas Fascist Party carries elections by drawing the hordes of stupid white men who are itching to ‘get even’ for decades of imagined slights. Arguing issues with these people is pointless.
These people are not interested in issues, social justice, or even the fact that the US government will go bankrupt in a decade. All they want is to get back at welfare mothers, blacks, Arabs, immigrants, liberals, feminists, and intellectuals for shrinking their paychecks and threatening …

The Best Quotes From David Horowitz In 2003
21 Mar 2012 8:47 am John Hawkins

– “For thirty years, beginning with the invention of a privacy right in the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the Left has been waging a systematic assault on the constitutional foundation of the nation. One element of that assault is the transformation of the founding contract into a �living constitution� that can be re-invented at will � and without the Amendment process — to suit the Left�s latest, destructive, political ends.”
– ” ‘A university is not a political party,’ I said, ‘and an education is not an indoctrination.’ I …

The Best Quotes From Ann Coulter’s ‘Treason’
20 Mar 2012 8:58 am John Hawkins

“McCarthyism” means pointing out positions taken by liberals that are unpopular with the American people. As former President Bush said, “Liberals do not like me talking about liberals.” The reason they sob about the dark night of fascism under McCarthy is to prevent Americans from ever noticing that liberals consistently attack their own country.” — Ann Coulter, P. 4
“Liberals don’t mind discussing who is more patriotic if patriotism is defined as redistributing income and vetoing the Pledge of Allegiance. Only if patriotism is defined as supporting America do they get …

“Freedom cannot be ladled with a thimble.” — P. 3
“During the course of forty years, Americans had lost more than 100,000 lives fighting two wars against Communist adversaries; we had spent billions on the military and had lived with hair-trigger tension and doomsday scenarios. We suffered all of this because we were determined that the second of two grotesque totalitarian systems that strained the twentieth century would not prevail.” — P. 7

The Best Quotes From David Horowitz’s “Left Illusions”
19 Mar 2012 4:45 am John Hawkins

From David Horowitz’s Left Illusions: An Intellectual Odyssey.
After the Russian Revolution of 1905, the philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev analyzed communism as a form of idolatry in a way that proved to be prophetic. Berdyaev traced the origins of what he called the Marxist “heresy” back to the tower of Babel. In that story, people had tried to achieve their own redemption — without a transcendent God — by building a ladder to heaven. Communists had a similar ambition. They had projected onto fallible beings godlike powers that would enable them to …

“If you can’t sell the country on the need (to drill ANWR) when you’re at war with a bunch of Islamofascists from the Middle East, when can you? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to fly to Alaska and do a walkabout with all the locals who are itching for the drilling to start? And, while you’re at it, give a speech out on the ugly barren wasteland the eco-loonies have declared inviolable while getting pecked to pieces by the world’s biggest mosquito herd, whose needs apparently outrank those of the …

The August 6th Memo
“On August 6, 2001, the president’s intelligence briefing included a response to questions that he had earlier raised about any Al Qaeda intentions to strike our homeland.
