One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.

It is a little much when people come to this country preaching hatred against others and demanding tolerance for themselves.

Those who want to take our money and gain power over us have discovered the magic formula: Get us envious or angry at others and we will surrender, in installments, not only our money but our freedom.

People who are very aware that they have more knowledge than the average person are often very unaware that they do not have one-tenth of the knowledge of all of the average persons put together.

Watching CNN after watching Fox News Network is like drinking skim milk after you have gotten used to egg nog.

One of these days the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals may declare the Constitution unconstitutional.
