This and That # 9

In This and That #8 I included two short quotes with the comment that sometimes a short statement can contain a lot of information.

That a picture can be worth a thousand words is well known. Sometimes, when we are really lucky, a picture can be worth a million words. Via Powerlineblog.com



The photo is from a weekly series posted each Saturday by Steven Hayward. It is always worth a look.

Pope Francis is at it again. This particularly foolish Pope began his papacy by endorsing socialism (I wonder what his Venezuelan flock is eating today).

He followed up with a condemnation of President Trump for promising to build a wall along our southern border.

I had the opportunity to visit  Vatican City last October. Was I  ever shocked to find that the city/state he rules and calls home is completely surrounded by very tall, very thick...walls.



It is a never ending source of wonder to me that leftists appear to have no understanding of irony and not much more understanding of honesty, for that matter.

Here is His Holiness' latest epiphany,

"Pope Francis: 'There Is No Hell'"

Good to know.

Speaking of the lack of honesty on the left, one of my favorite writers, Kurt Schlichter, offers this,

"Here’s the deal – everything the liberals say about guns is a lie. Every. Single. Thing."

You should read the whole thing.

Among the most important points he makes is that,

"Our right to speak and worship freely, and our right to keep and bear arms, were merely cited by the Constitution. That paper did not grant them. The government did not grant them, and the government cannot take them away. Every American was endowed with those rights by his Creator, and as long as we have the will to defend our rights, no collection of creeps is ever going to take them away from us."

Indeed.
