Religious Right, right?

Just found out that a new channel we're getting on Sky in a few days- 'More4' has the Daily Show amongst other programmes. So i won't catch the odd one at 3am on CNN international anymore. Seems it's going to have some adult-orientated programmes and films on also. Woohoo. :mrgreen:

Good old Winny. :lol:

Preferred,

"The best argument against democracy is spending 5 minutes with the average voter."

Winston Churchill


Good find! And sadly, too true. By the way, where is that from? I've read most of his books and don't remember that one.

 

[Preferred User]

Boy min, I have no idea. I've heard it attributed to Churchill several times. If you're going to nail me and tell me he never said it, I wouldn't be shocked. There are several Lincoln quotes that have been around for a while that are now believed to not be from him.

 

[mindido]

Preferred,

No, I'm not trying to nail you, I was just wondering where it was from. I read almost all of his books way back when and have been a fan of his since. May be a good time to go back and reread those. It certainly doesn't surprise me that he said something like that.

Great man. Here's another that is appropriate for our times.

"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events."

Sir Winston Churchill

Or to put it in Colin Powell's words, "If you break it, you own it."

 

[mindido]

Heh, heh,

You ought to e-mail that to GW. Except that he probably wouldn't have a clue who Churchill is!

 

[moxdevil]

For the first quote, it sounds like something he would have said in 47. Seen the quote alot but never seen the reference.

forget churchill, i'd be impressed if he could point to england on a map :lol:

If there were votes to be had by making Americans afraid of England, he could find it....if the map was colored.

Bush: 'do you mean New England? sure i know where that is'

Preferred,

"If there were votes to be had by making Americans afraid of England, he could find it....if the map was colored."

It would also have to have BIG LETTERS saying ENGLAND (forget about Great Britain, that would really confuse him) with all kinds of arrows pointing straight to it. He might be able to find it then (although I wouldn't guarantee it)!

All those with with an MBA from Harvard please raise your hands... No? All those with a diploma from Yale hanging on your wall please raise your hands?... No?... Will all those with a GPA average higher than Al Bore please raise your hands... nothing? Well will all robots please raise your right hand then. *clank *clank* "Fuck Thats alot of metal". Please follow me to lab #7, we have a lot of reprogramming to do, the virus runs deep, but we have the common sense chip available to counteract this destructive bug known as the Michael Moore hack code. All subjects may notice a larger ball sac, slightly more hair in the chest area, the ability to speak to the female gender, and a clearer mind to think for yourself and make your own conclusions during this procudure. However the diskspace reserved for "downloading" from outside sources will be downsized to a 1/4 of original size. Also your pointer finger will be removed for a time only to be replaced at the time of cure. Not a second before.

Duke,

I didn't go to any Ivy League school (although I was accepted at Dartmouth but couldn't afford it) but wound up going to a great school (Wisconsin) where I had a much higher G.P.A. than either Gore or Bush.

As far as the rest of that, I don't have a clue what your trying to say.

 

[moxdevil]

A little unfair Duke, i'm currently undertaking my degree. How could i possibly compete with such qualifications?

[H]e's the PhD, and I'm the C student, but notice who is the advisor and who is the President.

Don’t worry Georgie boy we’ve noticed, noticed in fact, ever since you got the job.

I’ll never forget this corker-

The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.

Oh how we laughed!

And who can forget this beauty? -

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

Either he's as bright as you imply Duke, in which case everybody in America should be worried by this confession, or he's as stupid as most people believe that he is as evidenced by the abundant slip-ups he makes?

Really? Not a clue huh? That's too bad, maybe i should make it "colored"? Or make the letters "really big"? You know how i keep saying how childish you liberals are and how its hurting you and blah blah blah? Ever wonder why Mr. Moore isn't called a fucking retard , or Gore can't score as high as Mr. Dumbass so he is a mudd-brain? Think about it and see why "you" think that is.

"Either he's as bright as you imply Duke, in which case everybody in America should be worried by this confession, or he's as stupid as most people believe that he is as evidenced by the abundant slip-ups he makes?"

The only thing i'm saying is that shame and common sense were in the obituaries last week.

Duke,

I guess I'm from a generation when the ability to accurately convey meaning to the english language meant something. I also went to a university where, if you didn't, you didn't get very far.

Your paragraph, to me, was gobbledegook. It meant nothing intelligable. But I believe you like making such statements, as you've said in previous posts.

Duke,

I don’t know why so many Bush supporters defend him by saying he’s better than Gore. So? The point is he constantly lies to defend his policies (I see we have recently caught the #2 Al Queda operative in Iraq….yet again), has put us deep into debt, used 9/11 to make us afraid and get himself elected (ever notice there have been absolutely no homeland security “code orange” things since the election?) and has no plan or understanding of how to make the Sunni’s accept a democracy.

As for blaming liberals, the two ranking Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have called Iraq “ disaster”, and noted conservative columnist Geo Will consistently questions Bush’s thinking powers while even the religious right doesn’t trust him any more.

It must be nice to have “Gore and the liberals” to blame. Get out of talk radio-land and take a look at all of this.

Never defended Bush by saying he's better than Gore, only tried to make a point. Useless i know. Have i noticed that there have been absolutely no homeland security “code orange” things since the election? No but i have noticed that there was one during the transit system scares, and about 7 or so since its creation. No one absolutely no one knows the progress being made or not being made "except" the people on the ground. You know, the one's who say that progress is being made? The religious right doesn't trust him? I should get out of radio-land? That's what your radio's telling you? Must be nice to have Bush to blame *yawn* and yada yada and such :fag:
