REMEMBER THIS?

Seems less outrageous now, doesn’t it?

SONTAG AWARD NOMINEE I: “There is no other government on Earth with the same publicized aspirations to tyrannical control [as the US government]. Other countries, including Korea, Iraq, Russia, and China, maintain arms to defend their shores against invaders and those who would ‘dominate the weak and intimidate the world.’ The two governments that do not maintain armies and weapons solely for defense are the US Government and Israel, a coalition of pure evil intent on destroying human freedom.” – Ed Lewis, “Liberty For All,” February 16.

SONTAG AWARD NOMINEE II: “‘The times’ require us to give up some eensy-weensy freedoms, so we can duct tape our houses and our mouths and worry about that Code Yellow which followed 8 useless months of Code Orange. Code Red is right around the corner. Be prepared to give even more away. Ronald Reagan described to us the Republican ideals of what an “Evil Empire” is. I guess the last vestages of the Old Republic has been swept away. Because we have met the Evil Empire Reagan described… and it is us.” – Bob Bankard, Phillyburbs online magazine.
