When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.

A divorce party--that's really better than a wedding party!
This kid has more mood swings than a toddler's birthday party.

The study of history requires investigation, imagination, empathy, and respect. Reverence just doesn't enter into it.
I will support my party when they are right on an issue, but am not afraid to stand up to party bosses who are not looking out for the best interests of my constituents and our country.
