In Tampa — y’all watch their convention? I did — the Republican argument against the President’s re-election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy. It went something like this: ‘We left him a total mess. He hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in!’
My opponent and his running mate are new to foreign policy. (Beat.) …After all, you don’t call Russia our number one enemy — not al Qaeda, Russia — unless you’re stuck in a Cold War mind warp.
You might not be ready for diplomacy for Beijing if you can’t visit the (London) Olympics and not insult our closest ally!
No family should have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money.
Now when Congressman (Paul) Ryan looked into that TV camera and attacked President Obama’s Medicare savings as, quote, ‘The biggest, coldest power play,’ I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Because that $716 billion is exactly — to the dollar — that (Paul Ryan) had in his own budget! (Beat.) You know, you give him one thing: it takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did.
We believe ‘we’re all in this together’ is a far better philosophy than ‘you’re on your own.’
No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters. That matters because we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people. And that’s why we need Barack Obama.
We share responsibility for creating an economy where parents with jobs earn enough to care for their families.
Getting money out of politics isn’t an issue. It’s the ONLY issue.
If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire, if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores, if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote, if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time, if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream, and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love… then surely… surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.
Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it…and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we’re from, or what we look like, or who we love.
And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed
Nobody in this country should ever go broke due to an accident or illness.
I am not anti-gun. I’m pro-
knifesword. Consider the merits of theknifesword. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution ofknivesswords for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus,knivesswords don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning theirknivesswords.
When I consider Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!You make him to rule over
the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable.He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
I shall one day sell Goblin-heads as trophies.

Evil only survives in the dark… The simplest way to deal with evil is to force in into the light of truth. Expose its secret. Sun on the Vampire. Sin thrives in the dungeon, but slap it on the table for all to see, and it withers rather quickly. It was one of Kevin’s greatest complaints about the church, actually. That everyone hides their evil. Their sin. Pastors, deacons, bishops – they perpetuate the very nature they are in business to destroy by covering it up. No confession allowed except in secret.
