Tuesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Charlie Kirk, Gary Bauer, Brit Hume, and more.

Insight: “The Declaration of Independence is the all-time masterpiece of ideological simplification. There in a single sentence of self-evident truth, the founding Fathers put into clear, easily understandable focus, the broad basis of man’s relationship to God, to government, and to his fellow man.” —Clarence Manion (1896-1979)

For the record: “The teacher ought also to be especially on his guard against taking unfair advantage of the student’s immaturity by indoctrinating him with the teacher’s own opinions before the student has had an opportunity fairly to examine other opinions upon the matters in question, and before he has sufficient knowledge and ripeness of judgment to be entitled to form any definitive opinion of his own." —1915 guideline from the American Association of University Professors, but still in force today.

Good question: "Why is Harvard still charging a full undergraduate tuition rate of $49,653 despite holding all classes online? They have a 41 BILLION dollar endowment. Why are they still ripping students off?” —Charlie Kirk

Re: The Left: “The Hong Kong government, now completely under Beijing’s communist thumb, has started removing books from school libraries written by anyone known to be sympathetic to liberty. The books will be reviewed so that offending parts can be removed or kept out of libraries in their entirety. No word yet on whether the Hong Kong government is getting advice from the progressive movement in this country that is trying to censor our history.” —Gary Bauer

Observations: “The Left is attempting to make Black Lives Matter, a radical far left political group, into an untouchable entity that only a Nazi would criticize. If we go along with this and let them pull off the trick, we deserve to lose the culture and everything else.” —Matt Walsh

Dezinformatsiya: “I don’t think I have ever seen such dishonest and biased coverage of any event.” —seasoned journalist Brit Hume on the Leftmedia reports on Trump at Mount Rushmore

Non compos mentis: “There are roughly 1,848 confederate statues of in the US. More than half are in The South, and it’s not acceptable. No one should be protecting the legacies of confederate leaders and slave owners. If we plan to move forward, these monuments must come down. But let’s remember: Removing these statues does not erase our country’s vile history of oppression — removing them is a symbol of respect for Black people in America and it’s a step towards progress and actual equality for all.” —Justin Timberlake

And last… “The vice president says he will transform America. He will, and the American people will pay a fearsome price. His foreign policy is hugs and hot cocoa for America’s enemies. If he’s elected, my advice to you is: Build a fallout shelter.” —Senator John Kennedy
