Milton Bradley Member	Tue Feb 01 10:10:15 The Magazine Turning the GOP into an anti-immigration party could dash Republican hopes of becoming a long-term governing party. Mar 31, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 28 â?¢ By WILLIAM KRISTOL The American people are worried about immigration. In a Pew Survey released last week, 52 percent of Americans saw immigration as a burden, while 41 percent said it strengthened the country; 53 percent support sending illegals home, while 40 percent endorsed a path to citizenship. Given the hoopla about illegal immigration, this division is in fact surprisingly close. In any case, it means GOP senators and congressmen--and presidents--have plenty of room to show leadership and to resist demagoguery. Most Republican officeholders know that the political--and moral--cost of turning the GOP into an anti-immigration, Know Nothing party would be very great. It could easily dash Republican hopes of becoming a long-term governing party. How many Republicans will have the courage to stand up and prevent the yahoos from driving the party off a cliff? - William Kristol
Hot Rod Member	Wed Feb 02 08:07:41 The last post in my earier thread. Milton Bradley Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:03 I'm not a cretin - hot tod lol... First post in this thread. Milton Bradley Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:33 "Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives." John Stuart Mill His post could easily have been put in my thread, instead he chose to spam it. When are these trouble makers going to grow up and start acting like adults? My guess is never.
Snuke Member	Wed Feb 02 09:15:53 The above 2 posts invalidate this claim. --- Which makes the thread true because only an idiot would think just two UPers are representative of any kind of majority.
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:20:58 "His post could easily have been put in my thread, instead he chose to spam it. " This is a lie. That thread was created before your thread existed and the previous 'quotes' thread was at 100 posts liar
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:22:04 "First post in this thread. Milton Bradley Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:33 " First post in your spam repetition: Hot Rod Member Tue Feb 01 04:13:09
Hot Rod Member	Wed Feb 02 09:25:33 Check the time. How can you lie like that when the proof is so obvious. Last post to my thread. Mon Jan 31 10:42:03 First post to this thread Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:33 BOTH POSTS BY SAME PERSON.
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:29:36 "Last post to my thread. Mon Jan 31 10:42:03 First post to this thread Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:33 " IN OTHER WORDS YOUR THREAD REACHED 100 BEFORE THIS THREAD WAS STARTED YOU FUCKING MORON christ, youre just sick arent you....
Hot Rod Member	Wed Feb 02 09:32:12 BOTH POSTS BY SAME PERSON. Last post to my thread was SPAM. Milton Bradley Member Mon Jan 31 10:42:03 I'm not a cretin - hot tod lol...
Hot Rod Member	Wed Feb 02 09:33:03 How can you lie like that when the proof is so obvious.
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:37:04 You know that half the board uses the MB tag so you have no proof whsatsoever that its the same person. Nor does that have anything to do with tre fact that you created a new quotes thread when this one already existed. You are just sick, but then this is why you were voted the stupifdest, most evil and biggest liar at UP. How dare you sir, just how dare...you are now ignored and you should in fact be banned. The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest. JS Mill
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:40:29 Another quote, much like the OP, that directly addresses Hot Shithead: Next to selfishness the principal cause which makes life unsatisfactory is want of mental cultivation. - JS Mill
Hot Rod Member	Wed Feb 02 09:44:05 You know that I said that anyone cowardly enough to hide behind that tag is responsible for every other post made under the same tag. And don't try to tell us that is a 30 second coincidence between two assholes using the same tag. We are not that stupid. Now why don't you and your gang of trouble makers grow up and start acting like adults instead of snot nosed little bullies.
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 09:45:55 No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think. - JS Mill
Milton Bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 13:33:21 A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future. ~Leonard Bernstein, The New York Times, 30 October 1988
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 13:36:01 "Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear." ~William E. Gladstone, 1866
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 13:38:09 The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. ~John Kenneth Galbraith
milton bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 13:40:59 A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time. ~Alfred E. Wiggam
Rugian Member	Wed Feb 02 13:41:01 "In 1895, at the age of 85, Gladstone bequeathed 40,000 pounds (equivalent to approximately 3.42 pounds million today)[76] and much of his library to found St Deiniol's Library in Hawarden, Wales, the only residential library in Britain. Despite his advanced age, he himself hauled most of his 32,000 books a quarter of a mile to their new home, using his wheelbarrow." wiki Okay, that is admittedly pretty badass.
Milton Bradley Member	Wed Feb 02 13:49:56 agreed
Madc0w Member	Wed Feb 02 14:57:07 "I really consider [Egyptian] President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States." Hilary Clinton
Milton Bradley Member	Thu Feb 03 00:57:38 A liberal is a man who is right most of the time, but he's right too soon. Gregory Nunn

Milton Bradley Member	Fri Feb 04 06:02:21 Berkeley had a liberal element in the student body who tended to be quite active. I think that's in general a feature of intellectually active places.
Milton Bradley Member	Fri Feb 04 06:11:59 - John Searle
Milton Bradley Member	Sat Feb 05 06:32:33 Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel. - Ovid
Milton Bradley Member	Sun Feb 06 04:35:07 Hysteria is not a sign of health. When Glenn Beck rants about the caliphate taking over the Middle East from Morocco to the Philippines, and lists (invents?) the connections between caliphate-promoters and the American left, he brings to mind no one so much as Robert Welch and the John Birch Society. Heâ??s marginalizing himself, just as his predecessors did back in the early 1960s. Nor is it a sign of health when other American conservatives are so fearful of a popular awakening that they side with the dictator against the democrats. Rather, itâ??s a sign of fearfulness unworthy of Americans, of short-sightedness uncharacteristic of conservatives, of excuse-making for thuggery unworthy of the American conservative tradition. - Kristol commenting on Beck.
Milton Bradley Member	Tue Feb 08 16:20:17 "I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself." ~ Ronald Reagan
milton bradley Member	Fri Feb 11 05:24:17 The liberal ideal is that everyone should have fair access and fair opportunity. This is not equality of result. It's equality of opportunity. There's a fundamental difference. ~ Robert Reich
milton bradley Member	Sat Feb 12 08:26:47 "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~ Albert Einstein

milton bradley Member	Sun Feb 13 04:49:30 It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one. ~ Voltaire
Milton Bradley Member	Sun Feb 13 06:29:12 All war must be just the killing of strangers against whom you feel no personal animosity; strangers whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it. ~ Mark Twain
milton bradley Member	Sun Feb 13 06:46:44 Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception. - "Chronicle of Young Satan" - Mark Twain
