Republicans almost killed me—Cher
Quotes and video from Cher, singer and actress, from President Obama’s inaugural ball
In an interview with cnsnews.com, Cher makes the following statements on President Obama, and the Republican party:
I just think he’s totally the right person at this time in our history. He brings something more in his spirit than maybe another president could be even with the same intelligence. There’s something about him that brings more with his spirit, and that’s what Americans need right now. Republicans almost killed me. ... You know what? I have so – I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand,” she said. “If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich – I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.

Somali pirates are a ‘Voluntary Coast Guard’?
Some things are just beyond parody, such as Al Sharpton telling his audience that the Somali pirates, who have been seizing ships and are now promising to kill any Americans that they take captive, are ‘voluntary coast guard’ for Somalia.

A warning about future terrorist attacks on the United States of America, from former Vice President Dick Cheney
When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom …
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

A scenario where there’s no more agriculture in California …
An alarmist warning on global climate change (formerly known as as global warming) from Steven Chu, President Obama’s energy secretary, who’s an expert on physics.
I don’t think the American public has gripped in its gut what could happen. We’re looking at a scenario where there’s no more agriculture in California. I don’t actually see how they can keep their cities going.

If you release the hard-core Al Qaeda terrorists that are held at Guantanamo…
Dick Cheney gives a sobering warning about the consequences of releasing the detainees from the federal facility at Guantanamo
If you release the hard-core Al Qaeda terrorists that are held at Guantanamo, I think they go back into the business of trying to kill more Americans and mount further mass-casualty attacks,” he said. “If you turn ’em loose and they go kill more Americans, who’s responsible for that?

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, defending the Bush Administration’s war on terror
If it hadn’t been for what we did — with respect to the terrorist surveillance program, or enhanced interrogation techniques for high-value detainees, the Patriot Act, and so forth — then we would have been attacked again. Those policies we put in place, in my opinion, were absolutely crucial to getting us through the last seven-plus years without a major-casualty attack on the U.S.

Freddy the Freeloader
"I get asked all the time; Where did you get the idea for Freddie the Freeloader, and who is Freddie really?
Well, I guess you might say that Freddie the Freeloader is a little bit of you, and a little bit of me, a little bit of all of us, you know.
He’s found out what love means. He knows the value of time. He knows that time is a glutton. We say we don’t have time to do this or do that. There’s plenty of time. The trick is to apply it. The greatest disease in the world today is procrastination.
And Freddie knows about all these things. And so do you.
He doesn’t ask anybody to provide for him, because it would be taken away from you. He doesn’t ask for equal rights if it’s going to give up some of yours.
And he knows one thing ... that patriotism is more powerful than guns.
He’s nice to everybody because he was taught that man is made in God’s image. He’s never met God in person and the next fella just might be him.
I would say that Freddie is a little bit of all of us.”
