Thoughts Of Chairman Kim

Here are just a few statements I’ve made over the years:
[speaking about the United States to a newly-arrived immigrant:] “All the major issues have been taken care of. Everyone has the vote; anyone can be successful at business or at anything they want, if they have the application and the aptitude; most people live in safety; and anyone can say their piece, about anything. The central promise of the Constitution has been fulfilled: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for everyone. All the rest is just detail.”
----
“If the State can’t or won’t protect you, and you are forbidden to defend yourself, you will, eventually and with absolute certainty, become a victim.”
----
“Hell, if someone found a document in a terrorist’s dead hand which was a point-by-point plan to blow up the White House, complete with personnel, logistics, equipment and a timetable, someone on the Left would say he was just practicing his handwriting.”
----
“The State Department is only part of the U.S. government when a Democrat is in the Oval Office. Otherwise, it’s just a continuation of Democrat foreign policy, by other means.”
----
“No wonder the Democrat Party loves trial lawyers: both groups survive by creating a class of victims, then enriching them—at the expense of the productive.”
----
“The New York Times is to the truth, what child molestation is to parenting.”
----
“Socialism attempts to suppress human nature, while capitalism simply exacerbates it.”
-- Corollary: “...and libertarianism ignores it.”
----
“The average American gun owner isn’t some foaming militia-obsessed whackjob: he’s your neighbor.”
----
“I refuse to read any Press reports about the Clintons, unless the phrase ‘died suddenly’ is included.”
----
“If some scumbag tries to rob you, don’t give him what he wants: give him what you want—and what you should want to give him is a Hydra-Shok bullet in .45 ACP.”
----
“Remember, the average self-defense shooting takes place at distances measured in feet, not yards. Recoil isn’t really a factor when you can set the sumbitch’s clothes on fire with the muzzle flash.”
----
“You can’t go too far wrong, hanging Frenchmen. There should be a lot more of it.”
----
“Let’s segregate the sexes at age ten, educate them separately until high school graduation, and see what happens. The outcome cannot be any worse than what we’re seeing currently.”
----
“Kids belong in a household which contains a man and a woman, and not in a household which has two mommies or two daddies. Period, end of story, end of paragraph, end of statement.”
----
“Money sent to Third World countries seldom reaches the point of intent, or the point of greatest utility. Ditto the federal government.”
----
“I used to look at Donks and their hangers-on (ie. journos and academics) with contempt. Now I just want to use them for bayonet practice.”
----
“People who support gun control are either evil or f***ing morons. That’s the beginning and the end of it, and I will have no truck with them.”
----
“I’m all for Christian charity, but if you find that after you gave a tramp $10 for food / booze, he used it to buy gasoline to set fire to your car, perhaps it’s time to reconsider his next request for money.”
----
Feel free to quote me, with attribution, of course.
Here are few excellent statements, some of which I wish I’d made.
“Only Democrats and dictators fear elections.”—Jim Hudnall

“I could tolerate leftists if they had any coherent ideas for a better way to do things. But they don’t. They cling stubbornly to failed brain-fart dreams that have been attempted over and over again with disastrous results, but they never learn. When better ideas come along, they simply screech and holler at them, then fling feces like the monkeys they are.”—Rob Smith (aka. Acidman)
----
“One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that ‘violence begets violence.’ I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure—and in some cases I have—that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.”—Col. Jeff Cooper

“9:24 Have sudden strong need for a cigarette, and a gun.”—James Lileks, the day after 9/11/2001
----
“Scolpisci nella tua testa a lettere adamantine…. Carve into your mind in great stone letters: This nation is the hope, and the conscience, of the world.”—John Derbyshire
----
“Personally, I have a clear and uncomplicated attitude to the whole business. The white man took North America from the Indians, by means frequently foul. As a result, we have a civilized nation here, with laws and legislatures, with libraries and hospitals, with colleges and police departments and TV talk shows and orthodontists and supermarkets and second-hand bookstores and gun clubs and lawns and swimming pools. If the thing had not happened, North America would be vegetating in barbarism, as it did for the previous several millennia, with none of the above. I like the above, all of them. I don’t want to live in a society with no law but blood revenge, with no medicine or sanitation, with no books or computers, with a 30-something median lifespan, with a famine every five years, with ritual public torture, human sacrifice and chronic tribal warfare. Far as I am concerned, civilization is the bee’s knees, and barbarism stinks. Yes, I know how it was done, and I can’t say I altogether approve. But it was done, and I am glad it was done.”—John Derbyshire

“[F]ar from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people.
“And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, ‘Okay, we defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan, so Japan belongs to us’? No. What did we do? We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are.”—Colin Powell

“Senator Kennedy claims Abu Ghraib is simply Saddam Hussein’s torture chambers “under new management – U.S. management.” Taking him at his word – a somewhat iffy proposition right out of the gate – he apparently cannot see the difference between the humiliation and bullying of enemy combatants, which is shameful, disgusting and reprehensible, and the gleeful, mocking murder, torture and gang rape of over 300,000 innocent men, women and children—which is something worse.
“So Senator, here is a helpful analogy which you may find useful: The difference is about the same as pulling over and leaving a young female secretary on the curb in the rain, which is shameful, disgusting and reprehensible, vs. leaving her trapped in the car at the bottom of a river while you look at the bubbles and ponder the political repercussions.”—Bill Whittle

“Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.”—Emperor Misha I
