"Among the Reasons God May Temporarily Be Unavailable to Bless America: 1)because God has had it up to here with the assumption that prayers for national exemption from pain and tragedy deserve an answer; 2)because God is too busy processing Americans' prayers for their highschool football teams; 3)because God takes for granted that the bombs falling on Kabul are American's real prayers; 4)because such tasteless and lurid efflorescence of red, white and blue (including flags wrapped around chruch steeples) gives God a massive headache." Re. Peter Laarman Judson Memorial Church, NYC "The United States is like the guy at the party who gives cocaine to everybody and still nobody likes him" Jim Samuels "Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purpose is beneficient. Most born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest danger to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." Louis Brandeis |
