Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)It must drive him nuts to see an articulate, thoughtful, funny, and gracious liberal lesbian exposing the hypocrisy and lies of his politics. The level of infantilism that these folks are regressing towards is fascinating.

Putting the Founders to Work
When widely syndicated columnist Cal Thomas posted a commentary on his website (1/15/09) opposing federal bailouts, he cited quotes from Thomas Jefferson to bolster his argument:
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not; It is incumbent on every generation to pay off its own debts as it goes. A principle, which, if acted on would save us one-half of the wars of the world; I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them; and, My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas described these quotes as ancient wisdom, which, he said, is almost always better than what people come up with today. Consider that it became ancient because it was wise.
But consulting The Works of Thomas Jefferson available in full at the Online Liberty Library, as well as the Library of Congress online Jefferson site, Ed Darrel of Millard Fillmores Bathtub (2/1/09) could find no evidence authenticating any of the quotes. [See correction below.] As Darrel, whose website targets historical falsehood, observed, Jefferson seem[ed] oddly prescient in these quotes, and, also oddly, rather endorsing the views of the right wing.

How about taking a shot at Ellen Degeneres. Nobody likes her. Should be OK.

Vote For Obama Because Hes Black
By Cal Thomas
Tribune Media Services
At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said,
There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America there is the United States of America.
Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words. Since then, Obama has divided us along race and class more than any modern president.
Some of his strongest, high-profile supporters in the black community are now saying that Obamas race, alone, should be enough for black voters to vote for his re-election.
Krissah Thompson of The Washington Post reports that on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, which has an estimated 8 million radio listeners, Tom Joyner, who is black, said, Stick
together, black people. Joyners show reaches one in four African-American adults.
