Michael Burgess (R-Texas) "People are sick of the government treading where it doesn't belong."
Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), who, as a member of the U.S. House, voted in favor of the light bulb regulations. "They took away our light bulbs... Nothing is safe from the Obama administration's excessive regulatory tentacles."

ReplyDeleteYou don't argue with it. That is a waste of energy.
ReplyDeleteYou stand as a representative of intellect and human evolution and, in that context and in that light of illumination, you watch as ignorance and recalcitrance and lethargy and backward thinking destroys itself. It is important not to ignore it, but stand against it, sometimes in silence, sometimes in articulate vehemence. Truth will out and selfish ignorance will die from its own lack of oxygen and sense.
