Liberalism

Description:

Dick Armey:

I always see two Jewish communities in America. One of deep intellect and one of shallow, superficial intellect. Liberals are in my estimation just not bright people. They don't think deeply; they don't comprehend; they don't understand. ... They have a narrow educational base, as opposed to the hard scientists.

If you were a southern, Anglo, Baptist liberal, I promise you, I would say you are not well-educated and probably not a great deep thinker, because that's what liberals are. I have not been impressed with the intellect of the left since I was a freshman in college.

House Majority Leader Dick Armey. September, 2002

Joe Conason:

Liberal policies made America the freest, wealthiest, most successful and most powerful nation in human history. Conservatism in power always threatens to undo that national progress, and is almost always frustrated by the innate decency and democratic instincts of the American people...If your workplace is safe; if your children go to school rather than being forced into labor; if you are paid a living wage, including overtime; if you enjoy a 40-hour week and you are allowed to join a union to protect your rights -- you can thank liberals.

If your food is not poisoned and your water is drinkable -- you can thank liberals. If your parents are eligible for Medicare and Social Security, so they can grow old in dignity without bankrupting your family -- you can thank liberals. If our rivers are getting cleaner and our air isn't black with pollution; if our wilderness is protected and our countryside is still green -- you can thank liberals. If people of all races can share the same public facilities; if everyone has the right to vote; if couples fall in love and marry regardless of race; if we have finally begun to transcend a segregated society -- you can thank liberals.

Progressive innovations like those and so many others were achieved by long, difficult struggles against entrenched power. What defined conservatism, and conservatives, was their opposition to every one of those advances. The country we know and love today was built by those victories for liberalism -- with the support of the American people.

Ann Coulter:

Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason.

Treason (2003)

Ann Coulter:

Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy.

Treason (2003)

Ann Coulter:

Liberals attack their country and then go into diarrhea panic if anyone criticizes them.

Treason (2003)

Ann Coulter:

Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn't slowed them down.

Treason (2003)

Ann Coulter:

Liberals are fanatical liars.Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America.

About This Site:

This site serves as an archive of quotations dealing with religion and philosophy. Specific topics covered include, but are not limited to: God, faith, reason, skepticism, atheism, agnosticism, fundamentalism, extremism. The quotes are chosen on the basis of my finding them interesting - regardless of whether I agree with them or not. This is by no means an exhaustive collection, although it does grow as I add quotes regularly.

Suggestions? Feel free to email me with quotations you think could be added. I can't guarantee that I will respond to each message and, please, be sure to include a full citation with each quote. There are a lot of sites out there that have many quotes without citations, thus preventing readers from being able to trace the authorship. I have very few of those and don't want any more, if I can help it.
