AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Be True to Your School
I’ll say it again: These Tea Party groups made the mistake of wanting to participate in the process of legitimization in the first place.
Had they NOT applied for tax-exempt/charity status, this wouldn’t have happened to them. And had they been true to their principles, they would not have applied to join the same club they insist they want to burn down. - - Five Feet of Fury

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes
AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Conservatives expend tremendous effort changing elected officials every other November — and then are surprised that it doesn't make much difference.
Culture trumps politics — which is why, once the question's been settled culturally, conservatives are reduced to playing catch-up, twisting themselves into pretzels to explain (including in the pages of this magazine) why gay marriage is really conservative after all, or why 30 million unskilled immigrants with a majority of births out of wedlock are "natural allies" of the Republican party. - - Mark SteynOnline

There was a man that lived by the river. He heard a radio
report that the river was going to rush up and flood the town, and that
the all the residents should evacuate their homes. But the man said,
"I'm religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me." The waters rose
up. A guy in a rowboat came along and he shouted, "Hey, hey you, you in
there. The town is flooding. Let me take you to safety." But the man
shouted back, "I'm religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me." A
helicopter was hovering overhead and a guy with a megaphone shouted,
"Hey you, you down there. The town is flooding. Let me drop this ladder
and I'll take you to safety." But the man shouted back that he was
religious, that he prayed, that God loved him and that God will take him
to safety. Well... the man drowned. And standing at the gates of St.
Peter he demanded an audience with God. "Lord," he said, "I'm a
religious man, I pray, I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?" God
said, "I sent you a radio report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowboat.
What the hell are you doing here?"
Indeed, God gives you the opportunities. It's up to you as to how you
take advantage of them. You have free will so choose wisely!

AMERICAN DIGEST Essays, News, Notes, and Quotes: Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep -
He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.
Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley
