Your favorite religious or political quote.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

I thought of this quote when I first heard of that Norwegian terrorist. The doctors said he was of sound mind and not psychotic or unstable, yet his religious beliefs drove him to do the horrible things he did.

It's not a quote persay but it brings out an amazing point... which is what a quote would do.

And you disagree why? He's just speaking the truth.

So you have not built your business then herbi???

And you disagree why? He's just speaking the truth.

It's the fact that those who've built up businesses take offence because they hold the opinion that the business is solely their creation, which is true. Obama is merely referring to all the little people who've made it possible, be they employees or customers. When you word something so poorly it's easy to turn it into something negative towards small business owners.

People really need to stop using individual quotes which can easily be taken to be in favor or against their personal position. The desperation in which someone will cling to one single line to benefit their argument when that one line is weak as hell is pathetic.

more from oue commander in chief
not only getting the quote competely wrong, but perhaps a freudian slip

Well, here’s what I know, we were just talking about responsibility and as president of the United States, it’s pretty clear to me that I’m responsible for folks who are working in the federal government and you know, Harry Truman said the buck stops with you.

[gwb72tii]

and from the same speech, from our pres who has never taken responsibility for anything LOL

Ultimately Mr. Romney, I think, is going to have to answer those questions, because if he aspires to being president one of the things you learn is, you are ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operations, but again that’s probably a question that he’s going to have to answer and I think that’s a legitimate part of the campaign.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. - Thomas Jefferson

[gwb72tii]

“In my youth, I, too, entertained some illusions; but I soon recovered from them. The great orators who rule the assemblies by the brilliancy of their eloquence are in general men of the most mediocre political talents: they should not be opposed in their own way; for they have always more noisy words at command than you. Their eloquence should be opposed by a serious and logical argument; their strength lies in vagueness; they should be brought back to the reality of facts; practical arguments destroy them. In the council, there were men possessed of much more eloquence than I was: I always defeated them by this simple argument; two and two makes four.”

Have you ever seen a demonstrable example of equality in your entire life? Can it be glimpsed in any dog show or classroom? In any ping pong game or chess match? Of course not. It is a philosophical abstraction, something nowhere to be found in nature.
