"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."

-- Henry Kissinger

"When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint. When you ask why the poor have no food, they call you a communist."

-- Archbishop Helder Camara

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."

-- Robert A. Heinlein

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

-- Voltaire

"If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."

-- Sinclair Lewis

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith.... We need believing people."

-- Adolph Hitler

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote -- where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference -- and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."

-- President John F. Kennedy

"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

-- Cardinal Roberto Bellarmine, 1615,
during the trial of Galileo

-- Sigmund Freud

"All wonder is the effect of novelty upon ignorance."

-- Samuel Johnson

"Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both."

-- Benjamin Franklin

"It is in no way lawful to demand, to defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing, or of religion, as if they were so many rights that nature has given to man."

-- Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846)

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

-- Walt Kelly, Pogo

What the Fuck???

Wow, here's one that flew under the radar. Last week Baby Doc signed a bill that makes "annoying" someone on the Internet a federal crime if you don't disclose your "true identity"...

I guess that makes me in violation of the law. You all have probably guessed that "Farnsworth" isn't really my name. On the other hand the more astute readers of this blog (i.e. Democrats and other liberals, who are smarter than the knuckledraggers in the GOP) have likely already figured out my "true identity" -- I haven't taken any great pains to hide it.

C|net News has details on this travesty. So I guess all of you "anonymous" posters to this blog and others are in deep shit as well, if your purpose was to annoy.

Yeah, so I guess I'll be tracking your ass down. Just as soon as I get back from Gitmo, since a big part of the reason why I started this blog in the first place was to be an annoyance to the Repugnican assholes running this sorry excuse for a government.

JBlue said...: For one thing, so many people are "innocently" annoying. They don't mean to be; they just can't help it. (And they're all related to me.)

For another thing, why can't we do anything about those people who are annoying in PERSON? I'd much rather be annoyed via internet than face-to-face.

AND, Shrub annoys me on TV all the time, and I'm a helpless victim unless I can find the remote or get up and walk over there and turn that fecker off.... Nobody's stopping that.; 1/9/06, 8:45 PM
