Blogging With Ike

"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

LIghts Out

It is obvious that San Francisco has to many nutritional supplements and not enough brain supplements.

For one hour on Saturday, the city went sort of dark. Only needed lights were left on. My only question is: if all these unneeded lights were turned off for one hour, then why are these unneeded lights normally left on?

This is about as stupid as life gets with symbolic actions over any real actions.

A Bleeding Heart

I saw a great bumper sticker the other day:

“My heart may be bleeding, but at least I have one.”

This is funny. Think about it . . . I have a bleeding heart . . . which is draining . . . and you need several stethoscopes to find anything that I have left.

Well let me suggest that conservatives are the ones with the real heart.

The great saying . . . “Give a man a fish and he can heat for a day . . . Teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.”

This is what it means for a conservative to have compassion and offer help. Giving real help for real people . . . cut the overhead of government and love life and love people.
