Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. - Winston Churchill

Islam was born in the deserts of Arabia in the early seventh century. Islam is a revolutionary, totalizing political ideology masquerading as a religion. - Ellis Washington, 2010

If there is a more painful exercise in American political life than the State of the Union address, it’s a well-kept secret.  Every year, millions of Americans tune in to the President’s annual remarks to a joint session of Congress either out of an obstinate sense of civic obligation or a perilous shortage of Ambien.  And every year, regardless of party, the President delivers the executive branch’s wish list in dutiful, if listless, prose while his congressional partisans see how quickly they can render the standing ovation meaningless.
