Timely quotes.

[Bob Loblaw]

Both are new to me but seem apropos, given the last few years.

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious
day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last
and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)


Some fellows get credit for being conservative when they are only stupid.

4. In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac

The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.

-Eric Blair (a.k.a. George Orwell)
