"En la casa del jabonero, todos resbalan, unos caen."Loosely translated, "In the soapmaker's house everybody slips, some fall."
I spent a lot of time down there, and I have my own sayings. Here's my favorite:
Latin America, where single men come back married and married men come back single.Now, thanks to Mark Sanford, we've got to put up with smirking liberals blabbing on about hypocritical conservatives
I don't understand the pleasure people take in the private travails of others. I don't know much about the John Edwards sex scandal, and I don't care to. I can't stand the guy, but I pray for him and his family. I would not wish family problems on anyone
The comments concerning hypocrisy are the stupidest of all. We're all human. Can't we aspire to higher ideals? What if the founding fathers had just said to hell with it and wrote a direct right to own slaves into the constitution? What if they had written all men (white men only, no women) are created equal? That would exonerate them from the hypocrisy charge but leave us a much poorer nation.
The ancient Greeks developed the philosophy of virtues. These were ideals to aspire to, not something they thought they possessed and therefore made them feel superior. Any good Christian will tell you he is a sinner who needs God's grace. The alternative is to abandon yourself to your basest instincts and say "hey, at least I'm honest!"
The news about Mark Sanford disheartens me. I hoped he would be our next president. It saddens me to see the man publicly disembowel himself and put his family through such anguish.
Liberalism's Three Amigos: Card Check, Cap and Trade, Socialized Medicine
Worst of all, while everyone salivates over the details, Congress will pass Card Check and Crap and Trade, causing the price of everything to go up and killing any chance of another Reagan or Clinton economy.
Iranians are dying for freedom and the O'President is focused on ramming a gigantic socialized medicine suppository up our posteriors
Iran tears me in two. I sympathize with the people in the streets but I oppose any US military intervention. If the CIA is not providing clandestine support we are criminally negligent.
I don't know what else to say about Iran that hasn't already been said. Anyway, seeing the rioting gives me flashbacks. We don't realize how good we've got it here. If Obama and Congress have their way, well be longing for the good old days...
God bless you and your family, Governor Sanford. God bless those Iranians manning the barricades, and God, please bless the USA...
