For the record: “Raging against the establishment for the sake of raging is an agenda for losers, and it will cost conservatives the votes in Congress they need to achieve conservative goals.” —The Wall Street Journal

Upright: “Envy doesn’t create wealth. Freedom and character does. How about we focus less on punishing those who succeed and more on helping those who are not realizing their potential?” —Star Parker

Non Compos Mentis: “Pupils need to be able to play with the many cloaks of identity… Children should be at liberty to explore the possibilities of who they might be without judgement or derision.” —"guidance" from The Church of England

The BIG Lie: “While gun safety may not seem like a feminist issue at first blush, it doesn’t take too much digging to see that women are uniquely vulnerable to and disproportionately the victims of gun violence.” —Wendy Davis (“In 2015, the gun homicide rate for men was 19.3 for every 100,000 Americans, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. By contrast, the rate for women was six times lower, at 3.2 per 100,000 people.” —Washington Free Beacon’s Alex Griswold)

Fear-mongering: “We are concerned that the president of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, [and] has a decision-making process that is so quixotic that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with U.S. national security interests.” —Sen. Chris Murphy

A blind squirrel finds a nut: “The accusers of Bill Clinton back in the ‘90s were never given the credence, and treated with the same respect that these women [accusing Roy Moore] are being treated.

The media treated those women poorly.’” —CNN’s Jake Tapper

And last… “Do you think Bill Clinton inspired a whole generation of lecherous ‘male feminists’? It was quite a message: Have the right politics, and you can get away doing anything to women.” —Frank Fleming
