  • Quote: "Never has there been a good war or a bad peace." -- Benjamin Franklin.
  • Quote: Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) - Climate change is a weather channel conspiracy.
    Those individuals from the far left, and I’m talking about the Hollywood elitists, and the United Nations, and those individuals, want us to believe it’s because we’re contributing CO2 to the atmosphere that’s causing global warming. It’s all about money, I mean, what would happen to the Weather Channel’s ratings if people weren’t scared anymore?
  • Quote: U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, "West Virginia Board of Education vs. Barnette", 1943.
    The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials, and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.
