About Me

In writing the "About Me" portion of this blog I thought about the purpose of the blog - namely, preventing the growth of Socialism & stopping the Death Of Democracy in the American Republic & returning her to the "liberty to abundance" stage of our history. One word descriptions of people's philosophies or purposes are quite often inadequate. I feel that I am "liberal" meaning that I am broad minded, independent, generous, hospitable, & magnanimous. Under these terms "liberal" is a perfectly good word that has been corrupted over the years to mean the person is a left-winger or as Mark Levin more accurately wrote in his book "Liberty & Tyranny" a "statist" - someone looking for government or state control of society. I am certainly not that & have dedicated the blog to fighting this. I believe that I find what I am when I consider whether or not I am a "conservative" & specifically when I ask what is it that I am trying to conserve? It is the libertarian principles that America was founded upon & originally followed. That is the Return To Excellence that this blog is named for & is all about.

Test your memory by taking the Who Said It? – Quiz presented by our SC businessman.  All you have to do is identify who said each of the quotes below.
 
Long time readers may remember that I provided a similar Who Said It? – Quiz in October, 2007 – source for that one was the Neal Boortz website.  Please let me know how you do on the quiz below.  I plan to re-post the one from 2007 in the next few days & explain why it is relevant to our future.  BTW – Carol got all of them right on both quizzes without even reading all of the quotes.

Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us. (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We're going to do it. It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about hold on one second.

  4. Hi Doug - I just got a couple of them correct, mainly because I rarely listen to BO's many, many, many speeches!

  5. Who else but BO ? Would I be wrong in assuming that every one of these quotes was uttered without the use of a teleprompter? The man can't string a sentence together unless he is reading it off a script.

  6. Hi Doug - Hope you and Carol are well and Happy New Year. Do you have the backup on when and where he said this? I would love to use it in my talks but I would need the backup verification. Thanks.

  7. Somehow I knew all the quotes were by BO, and surprisingly, I even remembered hearing most of them!
