Monday Short Cuts

The Gipper: “This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.”

The BIG Lie: “At no point have I ever suggested … that somebody is a warmonger, meaning they want war.” —Barack Obama on the Iran deal (That is exactly what he has suggested, repeatedly.)

Village Idiots: “I hope that this will be the last attempt by the some in Congress to politicize the tragic events of Benghazi. … Let us make sure it doesn’t happen again. That’s always been my focus.” —Hillary Clinton, who was the first to politicize Benghazi to help Obama in 2012

Braying Jenny: “Well, let me answer one of your questions because I think that’s what you are entitled to.” —Hillary Clinton, once again showing her disdain for the press when asked two questions by Ed Henry

Demo-gogues: “[I]t is not acceptable in this country when unarmed black people get dragged out of cars or get shot. That is happening too often.” —Bernie Sanders (Is anybody saying it IS acceptable?)

Some hard truths on inner-city crime: “[T]he problem is much deeper than synthetic drugs, high-capacity gun magazines, turf wars, rejiggering police deployment or keeping an eye on repeat violent offenders. We have on our hands … walking disasters: individuals who believe that their lives matter, but not yours or mine. Neither do our laws and institutions. The Wild West’s outlaws felt that way, too. But it didn’t turn out so well for them. Won’t for ours, either, in the long run. The challenge, as always: to keep our potential outlaws from going down that path. That’s not up to the police. Look at the faces of the killers and their victims. It’s on us — parents, preachers, politicians, community pontificators — all who profess that black lives matter, to prove it.” —Washington Post columnist Colbert I. King

And last… “If the Washington elite wants to hurt Donald Trump, they should endorse him.” —Republican strategist Dave Carney
