IT'S BEEN SAID
Every now and then I come across a quotation that is so significant or interesting, I want to tell others about it. This is the page I'll use to do so. From 2002 through 2007 I accumulated these quotations in the Archives; I'm discontinuing that practice as of 2008.

"The issue is not the issue. Who decides the issue is the issue. If you decide the issue, you are a free man. If a politician decides the issue, you can un-elect him, but if a bureaucrat decides the issue, you are his pawn and practically without recourse."
. . . -- Harold Hockstatter.

"Self-gratification has displaced honor, creed has erased good taste, the desires of the moment have undermined basic morality. We are fast becoming a self-serving, boorish and arrogant people given to cultural binges, quick to dismiss anything of substance that stands in the way of our undisciplined desires."
. . . -- Charlton Heston, in remarks at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) January 27, 1998 in Alexandria, Virginia.

"If it's real multiculturalism you want, give us Arab slave drivers from the Sudan who castrate 12-year-old boys kidnapped to be sold as catamites; give us Ubangi concubines with lip plates like Thanksgiving dinner platters . . . or Kalahari Bushmen who spend their days sniffing the desert for underground roots to eat. That is what different cultures really are, and that is what a real multiculturalism would really be."

"A central tenet of modern liberalism, after all, is the unshakeable conviction that white America is deeply and irredeemably racist. For three decades, America's white liberals have invested in the belief that America is so incapable of racial fairness that society needs a panoply of laws, preferences, quotas, set-asides, and remedial programs to ensure that black people are treated fairly. All of these policies are fundamentally based on the belief that America is deeply racist, that their fellow Americans are personally biased and institutionally prejudiced -- consciously and unconsciously, intentionally and structurally; racist in history and practice. [. . .] White liberals face this cognitive dissonance: If they decide that America is ready for a black president and back Obama they would also be forced to surrender or at least modify decades of conviction about American bias."
. . . -- Charles J. Sykes.

"For secular fundamentalists, religion in general, and the Bible in particular, are not just wrongheaded but actually dangerous. [. . .] That's because religion and the Bible stand in the way of everything they value most in life -- primarily unlimited sex, of course. but also the power to reshape society into a kind of secular utopia free from traditional ethical restraint."

"I hope Hillary is elected in order to have the occasion to carry out all the promises she is giving regarding Iraq."
. . . -- Ala Senakreh, West Bank chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group, expecting terrorists to reap significant benefits as a result of Hillary Clinton's election. Every terrorist leader interviewed for the book Schmoozing with Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal Their Global Plans -- to a Jew!, out of dozens, said they hope a Democrat becomes president in 2008. "All Americans must vote Democrat," said Jihad Jaara, an exiled member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group and the infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity. Democrats have become the terrorist-friendly party.
