Quote du Jour

The effectiveness of political and religious propaganda depends on the methods employed, not on the doctrine taught. These doctrines may be true or false, wholesome or pernicious — it makes little or no difference. Under favorable conditions, practically everybody can be converted to practically anything.

Quote du Jour

“He’s not bright enough to be President. For a long time, anyone who questioned Bush’s ability to think was pointed to the opinion polls and told that discussing whether or not the President is borderline stupid was bad manners and counterproductive. Actually, that is the main problem with Bush. He neither reads, nor writes, nor speaks well. It turns out that a C average is not good enough for the Presidency.”
