Thursday Short Cuts

“Progressivism … is hubris and conceit mixed with a tyrannical impulse.” —John Daniel Davidson

Insight: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” —Barry Goldwater (1909-1998)

Upright: “Progressivism … is hubris and conceit mixed with a tyrannical impulse, and it is one of the reasons we have so much moralizing in America today, yet so little morality.” —John Daniel Davidson

For the record: “200 days since the Las Vegas massacre: 250,000 images collected. 22,000 hours of video collected. 1,500 local leads. 500 global leads. 500 subpoenas. 400 specialists brought in. 40 terabytes of data collected. 12 federal search warrants. 2 weeks collecting evidence on scene. 0 answers.” —Ryan Saavedra

Braying Jackass: “I was quite surprised [why I was fired]. Because I thought, ‘I’m leading the Russia investigation.’ Even though our relationship was becoming strained, there’s no way I’m going to get fired, or whacked. … Why would you fire the FBI director who’s leading the Russia investigation?” —James Comey

Race bait: “Just this past year, in 24 states, the administration’s allies have introduced 60 pieces of legislation — or maybe 70 pieces of legislation — to curtail the franchise. That’s what these guys are all about, man. Republicans don’t want working class people voting. They don’t want black folks voting.” —Joe Biden

Non Compos Mentis: “Often people working with the existing consciousness are jealous of those who are more in touch and they become hard-core capitalist in hopes of creating the illusion that the value of money is worth more than the value of time and friends.” —Kanye West

Victimitis profiteering: “Today @lauren_hoggs and I are announcing our book #NeverAgain that tells the story of the foundation of this movement for those we lost. Lauren and I will be using the money made from the book to help heal the community. #NeverAgain out June 5th.” —David Hogg

And last… “Never Again, a phrase associated with the genocide that was the Holocaust, is being cheapened by a generation that is entirely unaware of the Holocaust. Depressing.” —Jordan Schachtel
