How many observe Christ's birthday How few, his precepts O 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.

Abraham Cahan

Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security: The case against Hillary Clinton for president is open-and-shut.

Christopher Hitchens

Edward Dahlberg

Benjamin Franklin
