			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few choice quotes from Ronald Reagan, courtesy of an e-mail from a friend.<br />
<span id="more-354"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The most terrifying words in the English language are: I&#8217;m from the government and I&#8217;m here to help.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they&#8217;re ignorant; it&#8217;s just that they know so much that isn&#8217;t so.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The taxpayer: That&#8217;s someone who works for the federal government but doesn&#8217;t have to take the civil service examination.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Government&#8217;s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;If we ever forget that we&#8217;re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/06/mccains_speech_to_aipac.html">Here&#8217;s</a> McCain&#8217;s recent address to AIPAC, which deals in part with Iran. A choice quote from it is as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>    The Iranians have spent years working toward a nuclear program. And the idea that they now seek nuclear weapons because we refuse to engage in presidential-level talks is a serious misreading of history. In reality, a series of administrations have tried to talk to Iran, and none tried harder than the Clinton administration. In 1998, the secretary of state made a public overture to the Iranians, laid out a roadmap to normal relations, and for two years tried to engage. The Clinton administration even lifted some sanctions, and Secretary Albright apologized for American actions going back to the 1950s. But even under President Khatami – a man by all accounts less radical than the current president – Iran rejected these overtures.</p>
<p>    Even so, we hear talk of a meeting with the Iranian leadership offered up as if it were some sudden inspiration, a bold new idea that somehow nobody has ever thought of before. Yet it’s hard to see what such a summit with President Ahmadinejad would actually gain, except an earful of anti-Semitic rants, and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks before frenzied crowds about starting another. Such a spectacle would harm Iranian moderates and dissidents, as the radicals and hardliners strengthen their position and suddenly acquire the appearance of respectability.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gkqvlPndHPxXMqNzQLCQAPNyxbdQ">This</a> is the guy that <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/">Barack Obama would agree to meet with, without preconditions</a>. A quote from Ahmadinejad in the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene. Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sounds like a great idea, B.O.</p>
