Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. —CHARLES A. BEARD
The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. - Patrick Henry
"It [the draft] is duty rather than slavery. I part with the author on the caviler idea that individual freedom (whatever that may be to the person) leads to nirvana, anyone older that 12 knows that is BS."
-Midcan5 (liberals on freedom)
"Allow me to masturbate my patriotism furiously and publicly at this opportunity."
-Ib1yysguy (liberals on honoring fallen soldiers)
"There is no 'equal opportunity' today unless the government makes it so."

Topper is like a global warmer. He'll believe whatever gets him through the day.
Anyone with half a brain knows that small business is going to go into hibernation until we see what the democrats just stole from us. None of us knows what the new bill is going to cost us and as a result, you can forget about us hiring anyone unless we've got work coming or orders to fill.
We don't at this point. It's laughable how giddy the libtards are over this bill. It's going to prevent the recovery we so desperately need.
But hey, you gotta strike while the pan is hot. I don't blame the dems for doing what they did, but I don't see it helping the economic situation any time soon.
I'd love to hear topper explain the logical steps that the bill will lead the nation through on its way to aiding in the recovery.
Let's hear it, Mr. internet millionaire
