Everyone, Meet Janice
by Lee

Yesterday I admitted in a comment to a post that the reason I hadn’t written a post about Janice Rogers Brown is because, frankly, I didn’t know much about her.  The frothing left-wing moonbats over at People for the American Way have compiled a list of quotes from her speeches and decisions which are supposed to horrify the reader, and I find myself smiling in agreement with just about everything she said.  Here she is giving her thoughts on capitalism, socialism, and liberalism.

Democracy and capitalism seem to have triumphed. But, appearances can be deceiving. Instead of celebrating capitalism’s virtues, we offer it grudging acceptance, contemptuous tolerance, but only for its capacity to feed the insatiable maw of socialism. We do not conclude that socialism suffers from a fundamental flaw. We conclude instead that its ends are worthy of any sacrifice – including our freedom….1937…marks the triumph of our own socialist revolution. [Federalist speech at 6-7, 10]

In truth, liberalism’s vaunted tolerance and openness is a lie. In America, at least, liberalism is tolerant only of those concerns to which it is indifferent. To those trivialized forms of religious observance which amount to no more than a consumer preference, the culture maintains a posture of tolerance. [Speech to St. Thomas More Society (Oct. 15, 1998) at 8]

Read ‘em all.  If a bunch of shitbags like PFAW hate her, she’s got to have something going for her.
