"I’m afraid the SS’s relationship with the Catholic Church is something the Church still has to deal with and does not deny." "‘Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age’ was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work.

More In Respect "There is no respect for others without humility in one’s self."― Henri Frederic Amiel "It is always a disappointment to turn from forthright consideration of some subject – whether from the Left or the Right, a poet or a plumber – to the Beltway version, in which the only aspects of the issue that matter are the effects it will have on the fortunes of the two parties and the various men in power."― Thomas Frank "So what if I’m smokin’ weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It’s not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It’s a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that."― Snoop Dogg
