Tuesday Short Cuts

Insight: “Without labor nothing prospers.” —Greek playwright Sophocles

Upright: “I think it’s incorrect to say that [the people who run the country inside the Beltway are] out of touch. I don’t think they’re out of touch. I think they know full well. I don’t think they want to be in touch with what we would call the mainstream of the country or even flyover country or outside the Beltway. They know full we’ll they’re out of touch. They’re not stupid, and they’re not unobservant. They’re stubborn and they are obstinate. They are elitists, and I don’t think they want any part of what life for most people in the country is all about. They revel in the opportunity they have to not have to live that life.” —Rush Limbaugh

Race bait: “[T]he truth is [our] nation … in many ways was created … on racist principles. That’s a fact.” —Bernie Sanders

Welfare for everyone! “[W]hen there isn’t help for these refugees from the United States or our partners, they turn to others that are offering help, like ISIS, like al-Qaida, to give them the paycheck, to give them nutritional benefits for their kids.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

Braying Jackass, part I: “You know, this whole anti-immigrant sentiment in our politics right now is contrary to who we are. Unless you are a native American, your family came from someplace else.” —Barack Obama (How long does your lineage have to go back before you’re considered native?)

Braying Jackass, part II: “When I hear folks talking as if somehow [immigrant] kids are different than my kids, or less worthy in the eyes of God … I think that’s un-American. I do not believe that.” —Barack Obama (He obviously thinks babies butchered and auctioned off by Planned Parenthood are less worthy in the eyes of God.)

The BIG Lie: “Right now I’m going to try to stay out of campaign season, partly because I can’t keep track of all the candidates. I’ll wait until it’s winnowed down a little until I have an opinion.” —Barack Obama (Since when has Obama not had an opinion about something?)

Non Compos Mentis: “So far Congress has not come up with a budget. And there are some in the other party who are comfortable with keeping in place something called sequester, which is going to result in significant cuts over the next several years in the amount of federal support for education.” —Barack Obama (And who was it that introduced sequestration?)

And last… “The Russians are streaming so many tanks, troops, and artillery into Syria, Obama can finally take credit for the "red” line he promised.“ —Twitter satirist @weknowwhatsbest
