The Best and Most Amusing Quotes of 2011 - Top Quotes of 2011

Written : Dec. 13 and 27, 2011

You can frustrate yourself with The Washington Post's top quotes (bashing mostly Republican candidates, of course, and the indefensible Rep. Anthony Weiner of NY), written by liberal Chris Cillizza, or you can amuse yourself with mine. As always, your choice is the best choice – and - you don’t need big government to decide this one for you!

#11 – Mar. 29, 2011 - “The Tea Party is pulling Boehner too far over to the right and so far over that there is no more fruitful negotiations,” Senator Charles Schumer. The truth is that the Republicans have done their job and proposed multiple pieces of legislation. The Democrats are obstructionist, stubborn, and are unwilling to negotiate with them.

#10 - Jan. 19, 2011 - “They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," - Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), no relation to the author. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it.” I guess so. If the liberals keep telling us the government takeover of health care is a lie, Steve, maybe some people will believe them!

#9 - Oct. 18, 2011 - "…We hope he [Mohammar Ghaddafi] can be captured or killed soon, so you don't have to fear him any longer. Secretary Hillary Clinton. Ghaddafi died two days later!

#8 – Mar. 31, 2011 - “I'm tired of reading the Constitution and all the silly things we’ve done for the last 13 weeks." - Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). The reading McDermott spoke of began during the new Congress (after the 2010 elections) and Rep. Giffords (D-AZ) participated in them prior to being shot.

#7 - Sep. 19, 2011 – This is not class warfare…” - President Obama. Sure it’s not!

#6 - Dec. 25, 2011 – “Divided government…doesn’t work anymore…because you have a new crop of Tea Party House Republicans…” – CBS Correspondent Nancy Cordes. Good thing the Mainstream Media is objective!

#5 - Feb. 5, 2011 - “Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries,” he said. “We have to get to the root of the problem.” - British PM David Cameron spoke about multiculturalism in Europe and in his own country, and how it doesn’t promote national unity. This serves as a warning to America as well.

#4 - Dec. 6, 2011 – “So … why do so many Americans want the big government to run things when they can't run them? They just can't do it!” Bill O’Reilly to Charles Krauthammer on The O’Reilly Factor on FOX.

#3 - Apr. 17, 2011 - "If you target them [stopping the mortgage deduction] on the most fortunate Americans, they can afford to take a little bit larger share of the burden. They can afford to do that." - Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary, on This Week with Christiane Amanpour. But, how does he know who can afford what? Who is he to decide?

#2 – Mar. 25, 2011 "This is the only country where it's legal to be 'illegal.'” Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on Red Eye.

And, now my favorite quote of 2011:

#1 - Feb. 15, 2011 - "Liberals don't care about blacks, they don't care about women, they don't care about gays. They care about destroying the family so that you have one loyalty. And that is to the state." - Ann Coulter.

Have Fun - and a Responsible and a Happy New Year to all!!

See you in 2012!

The Best Stories of 2011 - or, How The Liberals Ignored President Obama's Advice

Written : Dec. 18 and 20, 2011

Jan. 12, 2011 - President Obama said that the polarized national debate should be conducted "in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds." He also said that Americans should "help usher in more civility in our public discourse." Conservatives agreed, but liberals didn't... apparently...

Jan. 19, 2011 - Only a week after the president delivered his remarks, and only 11 days after the Gabby Giffords shooting near Tucson, AZ (Jan. 8), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) – no relation, by the way - invoked the Holocaust to attack Republicans on health care and compared rhetoric on the issue to the work of infamous Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, the guy who headed the book burning effort for Hitler. “They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," Cohen said. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it…” And Congressman Cohen didn’t stop there. “The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it–believed it and you have the Holocaust…" Cohen said. Why must liberals use such nasty hyperbole, so often?

Mar. 28, 2011 - Orlando Sentinel reporter Scott Powers said Vice President Joe Biden's staff kept him confined in a closet during a Democrat Party fundraiser in order to keep him from mingling with guests. Kathy Kattenburg posted this in Breaking News Media Politics: "I deeply wish that I could say this story is ‘unbelievable,’ but it’s becoming all too clear that even the most bizarre examples of assaults on press freedom are possible in Obama’s White House." Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander apologized to Powers by writing, "Scott – You have our sincere apologies for the lack of a better hold room today.” As Kattenburg said, “Lack of a better hold room” is an interesting way of putting it. Didn’t Mr. Obama promise the most transparent administration in history? Oh, well, I guess. What would the media have said if Dick Cheney’s staff held a reporter in a closet? They would’ve called him a Nazi, among other things, I’m sure. This time, though, nary a whimper, this story is dead to them because a Democrat was at fault...

Mar. 31, 2011 - Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA) said: “I'm tired of reading the Constitution and all the silly things we’ve done for the last 13 weeks." The reading McDermott spoke of began during the new Congress (after the 2010 elections) and Rep. Giffords (D-AZ) participated in it prior to being shot. The Democrats just wouldn’t listen to their leader, President Obama, and he didn’t follow his own advice, either. It figures, for the most part, they’re an angry, bitter lot.

In 2011, all of my favorite stories occurred in the first quarter of the year, and three in the span of four days. Next week I’ll serve up my favorite quotes for 2011. I hope you tune in, they’re amusing, for sure!
