"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. Troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." In an address to the Bilderberger organization meeting at Evian, France, on May 21, 1991. As transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates.
"An
advertisement keeps popping up for a new paraphrase of the Bible. It's a
full page, color photograph of a woman who appears to be young,
sophisticated, well educated, with a hint of cynicism. 'Pastor,' the
caption reads, 'if you want to reach me, you better watch your
language.' The inside cover elaborates: 'Distracted by deadlines and
bills, this is the only time she takes to nurture her spiritual life.
You can't afford to lose her attention when you reference Bible passages
that are too lofty and obscure.' Why can't a good pastor respond, 'No,
this isn't about making things comfortable for you. If you are baptized,
then this speech that the Bible uses is your language. You have to make
an effort to understand it, to live in its world, and to breath its
air. If you are too distracted by deadlines and bills to take any time
outside this one hour a week for your faith, then you'll pardon me for
not losing the rest of my congregation to the world just for you."

"It is difficult to conceive the U.S. going to war with any country that would honor the Geneva Convention." Ann Coulter
"Stare
decisis - also known as 'what's mine is mine and what's yours is
negotiable' - is a ratchet preserving only cases liberals like, while
they feel completely free to completely ignore Supreme Court precedents
they don't like." - Ann Coulter
"Whenever you run a clandestine operation, you run two things at the same time: you prepare the team for the hit, and you keep it so small there's nobody to spread it all around. And across the hall is a big staff working on what we call special plans. They're preparing the cover story. The cover story is what they want people to believe and to talk about, and to argue about." - From a 1992 speech by Col. Fletcher Prouty, former chief of special operations, Joint Chief of Staff (as quoted in Deep Truth: The Lives of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein)
"Dysfunctional families are known for a certain type of boundary problem called triangulation. It goes something like this: Person A is angry at Person B. Person A does not tell Person B. Person A calls Person C and gripes about Person B. Person C enjoys Person A's confidence and listens whenever A wants to play the triangle game. By this time, Person B, feeling lonely, calls C, and in passing, mentions the conflict with A. Person C becomes the confidant of B as well as A. Persons A and B have not resolved their conflict and C has two "friends." - Boundaries, by Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Clouad
