spunko12345 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Jed Bartlet: There's a tropical storm that's gaining speed and power. They say we haven't had a storm this bad since you took out that Tender ship of mine in the North Atlantic last year. Sixty-eight crew. You know what a Tender ship? Fixes the other ships. It doesn't even carry guns, it just goes around, fixes the other ships and delivers the mail. That's all it can do.Have I dispelased you, you feckless thug? 3.8 million new jobs, that wasn't good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzygirl Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You know, we forget sometimes. In all the talk about democracy, we forget it's not a democracy. It's a republic. People don't make the decisions. They *choose* the people who make the decisions. Could they do a better job choosing? Yeah, but when you consider the alternatives...

izzygirl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 That’s the problem with the American Dream — makes everyone concerned for the day they’re gonna be rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It always makes me laugh when I hear American politicians banging on about 'freedom' and how the American people are one of the few countries that enjoy 'freedom'. There are many things that the American people have but freedom is not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 We're for freedom of speech everywhere. We're for freedom to worship everywhere. We're for freedom to learn... for everybody. And because in our time, you can build a bomb in your country and bring it to my country, what goes on in your country is very much my business. And so we are for freedom from tyranny, everywhere, whether in the guise of political oppression, Toby, or economic slavery, Josh, or religious fanaticism, C.J. That most fundamental idea cannot be met with merely our support. It has to be met with our strength. Diplomatically, economically, materially. And, if Pharaoh still don't free the slaves, then he gets the plagues or my cavalry, whichever gets there first. The USTR will go crazy and say that we're not considering global trade. Committee members will go crazy and say I haven't consulted enough. And the Arab world will just go indiscriminately crazy. No country has ever had a doctrine of intervention when only humanitarian interests were at stake. That streak's gonna end Sunday at noon.
