Quinn’s Laws
Dennis Prager on the lack of intellectual and moral depth of the left:
Norton’s Law
Big business loves big government, which is why big business loves domestic taxes and regulation because it keeps the small and medium sized competition out of the competition. It also causes inflation, so ultimately it is you who pays and the poor who are hardest hit. (Big business often gets loopholes written in the laws for themselves such as Nancy Pelosi trying to get a part of the tuna industry exempted from the minimum wage law).
Quinn’s Rules of War
War is the only effective means for defeating evil.
In war there is no such thing as excessive force.
Using only the amount of force necessary to win, insures that you will lose.
The U.N. does not prevent war. It prevents war from working by stopping it before there is a definitive result (see: Korea, Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah). In doing so it invalidates the sacrifices of blood and treasure.
Quinn’s Laws of Liberalism (Leftism)
1. Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.
2. If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse the conservatives of.
3. The amount of wealth in any given area is inversely proportional to the amount of Democrats running it.
4. Liberalism only succeeds when the public is scared into believing that it will not survive without it.
5. When liberalism conflicts with reality, reality must give way.
6. Facts are the enemy of liberalism.
7. Things are different when you are a Democrat [regarding his allegations of the media's ignorance towards Democratic scandals and misconduct]. [Look at all the tax cheats exposed in the Democratic leadership since Obama took office - Editor]
8. A Liberal is any person for whom two thousand years of human experience and history means nothing now that they are here.
9. To liberals, intentions are more significant than the outcomes they achieve.
10. Liberals never think what they are doing is wrong, they only think they haven’t done enough of it yet or it is underfunded.
11. Profiling is what groups call bigotry when they have a problem they don’t want to talk about.
12. Democrats and liberals do not engage in debate, they try to silence you. If they engaged in debate, they’d lose.
13. Democrats are political opportunists.
14. Liberalism is based on unproved and/or disproved theory.
15. Every culture is unquestionable except the West’s.
16. Liberals view the world the way they think it should be, not the way it is.
17. Being a liberal is the art of standing on ones own head and telling the rest of the world that they are upside down.
NEW – 18. White privilege is racist idea used by leftist proponents of group politics to explain away the economic and social failure of ”group politics” [ its also used to help keep minorities down and infuse them with envy; see Detroit - Editor].
Addendum to Quinn’s Law’s
We believe the solution to the human condition is Liberty. Three hundred years of the most successful country the globe has ever seen is proof enough. No government program created this country, free people created this country.
The unspoken Bush doctrine is this, the decades of the dictators are over. We had a parade of them for a hundred years. They have killed one hundred million of us. We have learned our lesson. UPDATE SINCE NOVEMBER: Maybe we haven’t.
America is not an Imperialist nation despite what your professors tell you. We are not shoving our way of life down anyones throats, we are shoving freedom down the throats of tyrants so other people can chose their own way of life. That is the answer to the question “What is the role of the worlds only superpower?”.
Marxism is the greatest threat to human freedom and growth. It has never worked anywhere it has been tried, but it is still taught in every college. Its time to drain the swamp of these 1960s reprobates and charge them with selling a defective product.
America is not the world largest polluter because a) carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, it is plant food. b) In terms of wealth versus tons of pollution we are the cleanest country on earth because we are free and have the disposable income to clean up after our selves; something the vaunted Soviet block never had.
The environmental movement uses the environment and animal species as an excuse for putting the means of production (the land) off limits to the American citizen. Putting the means of production off limits to the citizen is the definition of communism. UPDATE: Putting gas and oil off limits to the citizens is a definition of insanity.
We have a highly progressive income tax. The tax code rewards bad choices and punishes good ones. Russia has moved to a 13% flat tax. So we have Karl Marx’s tax system and Russia has Steve Forbes. If you don’t see a problem here, you are probably a registered Democrat.
Abortion is the Sacrament of the Feminist Church. It is the ultimate celebration of the separation of a woman from her nature. Feminists like this will go to any lengths to protect this so-called right. There is no abortion argument that is not rooted in feminist rage, personal inconvenience, or self loathing.
The fundamental difference between Liberals and Conservatives is – Liberals see every new life as a potential problem and a burden [Remember Speaker Pelosi saying that birth control is an economic stimulus - Editor]. Conservatives see every new life as a potential source of creativity and wealth. Allow me to elaborate a little bit on that: When your view of your responsibility to your fellow citizen is to take care of them through government planning and government force, every new person born becomes another mouth to feed another person to educate another burden on the states resources. If you are a liberal you believe that resources are limited and there is only so much to go around. You see yourself or government policy as the arbiters of who gets what. A conservative understands that new wealth is created every time human creativity acts on a resource and is unlimited. To a conservative, life is a blessing. To a liberal life is a curse. (Does this clarify their love of abortion and euthanasia?)
There is no conclusive evidence that humans have caused global warming. It is the hoax of the century, and it makes a lot of people a lot of grant money. It also makes a convenient excuse for putting a global governor on capitalism to make the world fair for dictators and socialist welfare states. So, why not teach it to our kids and lets pretend that its true? UPDATE: Even the UN is now having doubts and some scientists are warning that we may return to a mini ice age such as occurred during the Maunder Minimum.
No-one had ever died trying to paddle a rubber boat from Miami to Cuba.
To a Conservative adversity is indistinguishable from opportunity.
The United Nations is an expensive farce that allows tyrants to park illegally and pretend that they are legitimate World Statesmen – they are not They are thugs in $4000.00 suits.
Radical Islam is a global mental illness. It is a sickness, it is a cancer and it is evil.
There is such a thing as Evil, and you cannot negotiate with it.
Common sense and government are mutually exclusive. Government is what you do when you’ve decided that you can’t trust the citizen to use their common sense. So, when you as an elitist and one of our betters notices that not all of us out here are perfect, and not all of us make the right judgments about everything, you then impose your bureaucratic rules upon us and we cant use our common sense any more. Don’t ever let a politician tell you that he is going to bring common sense to government. The only way to bring common sense to government is to get rid of government and allow people to use their common sense instead. [Quinn just summarized Hegel's ideal of rationalization imposed from above even if he didn't know it - Editor]
Reaganomics is the only economics that works. Lowering tax rates increases wealth to everyone, including the government because there is no limit to wealth. New wealth is created where wealth did not exist before when a human acts on a resource and humans can only do that when they are free. (see: North Korea and Palestine) Taxes are restrictions on freedom.
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution is the essential counterbalance to the fearsome power of lawmaking, and it means exactly what it says. “A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” If you are a lawmaker and this amendment makes you nervous; good! As long as you stay nervous you have nothing to fear.
In our Republic, God is a necessary legal concept. This is not a Democracy, it is a Representative Constitutional Republic and there is a big difference. In case you are wondering why so many of the Socialists out there want God out of everything in our public life there is a real utilitarian reason for this. It is not just that the idea of God makes them uncomfortable personally. God is a major speed bump on their super highway to their super state. Why? Because our founding documents set forth that our rights as humans pre-date the government of men, those rights cannot be abridged (at least easily). They come from God and are inalienable. Drive God out of the mix and rights will flow from government. Once that happens government will alter and abridge those rights because they can. Whether God exists or not he is necessary for the maintenance of freedom.
There is no such thing as the separation of church and state. That is a trick to intimidate people of faith. The founders feared a Church of the United States, not a manger scene outside the courthouse or red and green cookies in school. In using this canard as a tool to drive all God centered religion out of public life, the secular humanist actually establishes an official state religion. That religion is Atheism. [The Supreme Court Justice who came up with that interpretation was a member of the KKK who wanted to stick it to Catholic Schools - Editor]
You cannot legalize gay marriage because there is no such thing. Its like legalizing the square wheel. There is no such thing as that either. Marriage as a concept was created so as to give a name to an arrangement between a man and woman that has the potential to create the lives of the next generation of citizens. If sex between a man and a woman didn’t create the next generation of citizens there would be no need for a word to describe their relationship since civilization would have no interest in it; we would just hook up with each other and when we got bored move on.

This is great stuff. It will come in handy when I have to educate my liberal friends.

Liberals think this and liberals love that. It’s rude enough to stuff words into other people’s mouths, let alone thoughts into their heads. Stick to defining yourself and what you understand. It’s pedantic to try and define others whom you don’t understand and so you ridicule. There’s a reason why the more educated a person is, the more likely that person is to be a liberal. They know more stuff.
[Quinn's laws are not an attempt to put thoughts in liberals head or words into their mouths. These are observations and a pattern of behavior on the left that has been demonstrated by them time and time again.
Having education is not enough, they have to learn how to think logically, consistantly and ethically. The way to learn that is to have a solid classic liberal arts education featuring the work of Aristotle, Socrates, Cicero, Francis Bacon, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, John Locke and some Biblical philosophy. This is exactly what is NOT taught in universities today. It used to be that way but no more.
It is important to keep in mind that there are very few "liberals" left in academics and politics as it is possible to be a "liberal" and still maintain a mostly traditional American point of vew. It is leftists that are in control of most of the Democratic Party today.
By the way, it was American academics that came up with the ideas of elitism combined with eugenics and Social Darwinism. Adolf Hitler credited American academics as the founding source of his philosophy. It was inspiration from American academics that led states to pass mandatory sterilization laws.
Hitler was the darling of the American academic & journalistic left and was Time magazine's "man of the year".
I could go on and on, and according to you these leftists must have been right because "they knew more"....
As a rule I try to avoid Hitler references but the facts cannot be ignored. Those who see themselves as "the elite" have been proved by history to be little more than dangerous educated fools time and time again.
Examine our category on campus free speech and ask yourself why it is that almost every week an American university has to be threatened or faced with a federal civil rights lawsuit for violating the free speech, conscience, and/or religious rights of the students? Why is it that the average Joe has a pretty solid understanding of the First Amendment and so many thousands of PhD's have no grasp or appreciation of it whatsoever?
Perhaps this is why the super educated and revered William F. Buckley said that he would rather be governed by the first 400 names in the phone book than the faculty at Harvard.
I hope that next time you think before you post instead of just react.
