Words mean things and ideas have consequences.

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.
~G.K. Chesterton

I reserve the right to be maximally offensive.
~Ezra Lavent

[A]t all stages of our lives — from the embryonic through the fetal, infant, child, and adolescent stages and into adulthood — we are human beings with dignity and the right to life. Our dignity does not come from having achieved a certain level of intellectual proficiency or even conscious awareness. … We have our dignity in virtue of the kind of entity we are: that is human being, a creature with a rational nature. And we became that when we came to be.
~Dr. Robert George

Atheists don’t find God invisible so much as objectionable. They aren’t adjusting their desires to the truth, but rather the truth to fit their desires.
~Dinesh D’Souza

It is really faith that is indispensable to almost all positive human activity. Because you can’t know the future, and if you don’t have faith, the pursuit of bodily pleasure and preoccupation with obstacles to it become your entire life. And the horizons darken.
~George Gilder

We believe that freedom is a gift from God and not a political grant from government. Freedom is neither license nor anarchy. It must be consistent with the great moral guide, the Covenanting Commandment.
~The Marysville Appeal-Democrat, Marysville California

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.
~Daniel Webster

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
~Samuel Adams

It’s not that liberals are ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.
~Ronald Reagan

A day without radiation is a day without sunshine.
