Fair warning: anything even remotely supportive of transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or supportive of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted and result in a permanent ban. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.
On work days there is likely to be a substantial delay in approving comments, since I can't do blog stuff in an office. For this I apologize.
Never take a 2nd Amendment quote from Texas as truth.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Washington didn't say citizens should arm themselves against government.
According to the National Archives site Founder’s Online, during his Jan. 8, 1790, speech to Congress, Washington said: “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”
I love everything about that last one. The pain or button that says God was my co-pilot but we crashed and I had to eat him is so funny.
ReplyDeleteDave: Point conceded, after some investigation. I've deleted the item. There are certainly plenty of quotes from leaders at the time saying such things, though. Don't forget, those guys had just overthrown a government themselves, and the risk that the new government might turn tyrannical someday was very much on their minds.
ReplyDeleteMary K: I like the spirit of the last one too. The world isn't going to be impressed anyway -- people always find things to point fingers about. But at least we have some control over our own happiness.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I don't think gods are very nutritious -- they're pretty insubstantial.
These are always great! A mixture of funny images and food for thought!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I aim for.....
