Quotes of Note from TVRWC by Mark W. Smith

I was thumbing through my bookshelf for some interesting Sunday afternoon reading, when I came across my copy of "The Official Handbook of the Vast Right-wing Conspiracy" by Mark W. Smith. Seemed like a good choice, since the one who gave us the phrase "vast Right-wing conspiracy" is now courting some of those same people seeking -- arguably -- her former government job.


Here are a couple of my favorites from Chapter 3 (The War On Terror)

“Sure, most Muslims aren’t terrorists. But we didn’t see any Amish farmers, Israeli Jews, Buddhists, or Lutherans perpetrating or celebrating the mass murder of three thousand people on 9/11. Only militant Islamists celebrated.” p.21

“How is it that liberals, who have found in the Constitution – voila! – unexpressed ‘individual rights’ to abortion, sodomy, and Miranda warnings, suddenly turn a blind eye to the clear nature and motives of the terrorists who are seeking our destruction? We didn’t ask for a religious war or a clash of civilizations, but that’s just what the radical Muslims are fighting. If we don’t defend ourselves, then Heaven help us. (Translation for liberals: “Then Noam Chomsky help us.””) p.23

And my personal favorite:

“Let’s get something straight: The U.S. is the most generous nation in the world. When the tsunami hit Southeast Asia, Americans donated $1 billion privately, and the U.S. government gave $950 million on top of providing all sorts of other financial, military, and moral support to the victims. Hurricane Katrina? Two and a half billion donated. American taxpayers shell out between $6 and $9 billion in foreign aid each year. Muslim countries get a great deal of this – Egypt alone sucks up over $2 billion a year.” P.26

I have a complete list for chapter 3 posted here. It's a great read, and I am seeing things this time through that I missed last time. It's a "must have, must-read" for anyone who wants to be a part of (cue 'X-Files' theme) "the conspiracy!"
