Reflections of My Life

The changing of sunlight to moonlight Reflections of my life Oh how they fill my eyes The greetings of people in trouble Reflections of my life Oh how they fill my eyes

Credo(borrowed from Lex)

"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones

Catch 22

There was only one catch, that was Catch 22.......

Feelings

I have become..............comfortably numb..............................

Political Correctness. Defined.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Definition and difference

‎"A liberal is a conservative that hasn't been mugged yet." Also, "If you are not a liberal at 18 , you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 40, you have no head.

Thought for the times

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful." CS Lewis

Newt Gingrich on the qualifications of Obama

"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, because America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."

Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus said it best

‎"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum.("Therefore, he who desires peace, let him prepare for war")" from "Epitoma Rei Militaris," by Vegetius (Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus)
