Chuck Taggart is just plain great. A great radio DJ (KCSN-FM) with impeccable musical taste, a great devotee of New Orleans cuisine, and I even like his politics. So hats off to this great series of quotations I found at his weblog: Looka:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States (1901-1909), speaking in 1918
“There ought to be limits to freedom.”
George W. Bush, May 21, 1999
“You don’t get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier.”George W. Bush, describing what it’s like to be governor of Texas, Governing Magazine, July 1998
“If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator.”
George W. Bush, CNN.com, December 18, 2000
“A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there’s no question about it.”
George W. Bush, Business Week, July 30, 2001
