Ambition and Avarice

There are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are Ambition and Avarice; the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting man to action; but when united in view of the same object they have in many minds the most violent effects.

Benjamin Franklin, cited in All the Men of the Bible, by Herbert Lockyer.

Helping the Poor?

If you want to see the poor remain poor, generation after generation, just keep the standards low in their schools and make excuses for their academic shortcomings and personal behavior. But please don’t congratulate  yourself on your compassion.

A Fascist Ideology

I have a collection of memes regarding the LGBTXYZ agenda, some of which I found and posted on Facebook, but since FB is suspending accounts which post things of which FB does not approve I decided to make a post here with all these memes I've collected.  This collection should provoke some thinking about the agenda and how 3% of the population is taking control of the other 97%.

Need and Greed

"Need" now means wanting someone else's money. "Greed" means wanting to keep your own. "Compassion" is when a politician arranges the transfer.

Knowledge vs Ignorance

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance. And a people who mean to be their own Governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

James Madison, 4 August 1822
