He sold the hope of everyone having a job and that everyone had a right to be given medical treatment at the government’s provision."

Recession? Not in D.C.
Recession? Not in D.C. - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"Shortly after I arrived, I was contacted by a headhunter to see if I was interested in another assignment with a large quasi-government agency that is receiving billions every month in taxpayer-funded bailout dough.
I told the headhunter I could never work for such an organization, but was curious about the salary.
When he told me, I nearly fell off my wallet.
It was an absurd amount of money.
But then, a lot of things are absurd in the 'land of milk and honey.'"

"Yeah, I probably told this story before but my best man from my wedding had a friend from h.s. who was dying from cancer.
I sent a ball up to the football office and I wanted it signed for him while he was in the hospital.
Anyway, at the time, there was a former h.s. player of mine on the football team there too.
He was in the weight room when Mannie came in with the ball and yelled, 'O.k., every body get over here and sign this ball, some mother ****er is dying and we're gonna send it to him'."

"A family member who recently flew to Detroit told me that after the plane was airborne, a man in “Muslim garb” (you know it when you see it) got up and bowed down in the aisle for some reason. Everyone who saw it was uncomfortable and it is doubtful anyone slept for the remainder of the flight.
It was clearly an aircraft filled with bigots."

"Jihadist thugs are now attacking us in the name of Islam.
No doubt there are a lot of Islamic believers who don’t support this.
But like the Germans in World War II, they are not speaking up… for good reason of course, as there was a good reason back in the days of the Third Reich.
But because they aren’t speaking up to oppose what is being done in their name, the world has a Muslim problem.
Everybody knows this.
Not many public figures dare to say it out loud. Some public figures don’t want to know it, much less say it out loud."

Instapundit » Blog Archive » EMBARRASSING WIDENER
A word needs to be said about the mocking laughter that instantly erupted from the law students in the audience.
Presumably, that sound meant we are smart and you are dumb.
Where did they learn to treat a guest at their law school — Widener Law School — with such disrespect?
They hooted O’Donnell down, and she never got a chance to explain her point.
What does that say about the climate for debate in law schools?
Not only did they feel energized to squelch the guest they politically opposed, but they felt sure of their own understanding of the law.
I’ve been studying law myself since 1978, and I still puzzle over things and try to work my way through problems.
If a speaker at my school makes a statement that sounds outlandish to me — me with 32 years of studying law — I may display a puzzled expression or a smile, but I hear the person out and entertain the possibility that he has a point and that even if the point is wrong, I will have learned some new perspective on the ways of being wrong or how another human being’s mind works. I try to create that atmosphere in the classroom.
What is the atmosphere at Widener?
Is there no intellectual curiosity?
No love of debate?
No grasp of how complex constitutional law problems can be?
Well, we can only judge by what we’ve seen.
Meanwhile, Cornell lawprof William Jacobson comments: “A literal reading of O’Donnell’s comments reflects that she was correct, but of course, the press and the blogosphere don’t want a literal reading, they want a living, breathing reading which comports with their preconceived notions.”"
