Argentinean General Videla (now
under house arrest), paraphrased by Christopher Hitchens: those (the
desaparecidos) who attacked "Western and Christian" way of
life with spoken words and written articles were often more dangerous
than bombers.
Kevin (Cogitator) McCarthy: The
Republican Party has been taken over by an amoral cabal that believe in
nothing. These morality-parading deviates have but one word that they
live by: whatever. Whatever it takes to succeed, whatever is needed to
savage those who disagree. These are not patriots, they are vile,
self-serving aberrations who foment divisiveness. They swear by
separatism and villification. To them, knowledge, truth and principles
are of no use, in fact. they are perversions that only hinder.The motto
of these velvet glove terrorists: death by a thousand cuts.
Rob Corddry, The Daily Show: "How does one report the facts in an unbiased way when the facts themselves are biased?...From the names of our fallen soldiers, to the gradual withdrawal of our allies, to the growing insurgency, it's become all too clear that facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda."
Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report: "Keep your facts--I'm going with truthiness."
President Bush, addressing the nation ('reported' by I Cogitate): "But that Patrick Fitzgerald, now there's a weapon of mass destruction. Hooeee. Gotta take him out sooner rather than later. We's currently fixin' up facts, drawin' up papers and developin' film of him buyin' a yellow cake. That cinched it for me. He's up to no good. Can't afford to wait til a cloud of mushrooms appear. Bombing of him commences in one hour." Jackson Brown, from his song, "The Rebel Jesus": In a life of hardship and of earthly toil, we have the need for anything that frees us, so I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer, from a heathen and a pagan, on the side of the rebel Jesus." Martin Luther King, closing his speech in Memphis the night before his death: "Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
