It’s your quote of the day from How to Fix Everything in America Forever: The Plan to Keep America Awesome
I like the Bill of Rights. It’s good to have rights. If I had to choose between nachos and the Bill of Rights, I’d choose the Bill of Rights. And then I’d take the gun I have a right to and get my nachos back.
Tell me your favorite quotes from How to Fix Everything in America Forever in the comments.
Excellent column. I printed it out just to wipe the nacho cheese off my fat face, that’s how good it was.
Eventually, Frank, you’ll be switching away from Nachos to PLAIN POTATO CHIPS!!
(Less spicy and gassy and with no genetically modified corn.)
Wrong! Using force and violent threats to take things is what big goverment liberals do.
You use the gun you have a right to bear and enforce your private property rights so you have money to buy nachos.
You use the gun you have a right to bear and enforce the rights of small businesses to manufacture and sell nachos.
You use the gun you have a right to bear and enforce your right to freely associate with the purveyors of nachos.
Excercise your right to put bacon on your nachos, because you deserve it, guardian of freedom!
Just don’t get nacho cheese all over your gun. You’ll need it if someone tries to take away your rights again.
But I’d have to say that my favorite passage from your new book is the one you mentioned. What an odd coincidence!
So far….my favorite quote is: “We will outlaw whining-one of the most destructive forces to American awesomeness.”
It would force out so many politicians and members of the media that we could pretty much start all over !
(I haven’t gotten more than 1/3 of the way through the book because all the references to tacos and nachos keep sending me back to Taco Bell.)
My favorite quote is classified.
Reminds me of what happened when my son was nominated for a “talented and gifted” public school program here when we moved to Liberalland. He was in a TAG program in the state where we’d come from, but he had to do an interview and draw a picture to answer a scenario. That would be used to determine if he was “worthy” of “their” program. The scenario was this: “You’re on an island that has no water. There’s an island nearby that has water. What would you do to get water?” My son drew a bunch of army men and ships all around the islands. He had paratroopers, battleships, the whole invasion force. When the group of libo teachers asked him to explain it, he said, “I’m going to surround their island and take their water!” His mother and I knew none of this. Two weeks later I got a form letter saying he wasn’t qualified because of how he answered. That was it; no details. I caught up with the lead teacher at the annual Parent’s Abuse Night and asked her about it. She showed me his drawing and told me what he said. They wrote comments were real scorching, like they were Freud’s acolytes. I’m standing there, laughing out loud, cheering my son inside, and trying not to pee my pants all at the same time when I said laughingly to her face, “The kid’s 8 years old! What the hell did you expect him to say? That’s my guy!” I thought she was going to crap her Birkenstocks. Apparently they expected him to say something like “I’d ask them really nicely to share their water, hold their hands and sing Kumbaya,” or call the UN or some crap like that. Now that I think about it, I should be glad they didn’t have him arrested for drawing a picture of a gun on school property.
Sounds like you’re raising a “man,” Manolo. Don’t worry, he can still always work above his grade level based on what you teach him at home and what he picks up in serious hobbies (like ham radio, computers, etc.). In our house, it was all things science, engineering and music. Eventually, he will outgrow “education” entirely. My first boy did after some college and today he has a young, fast-growing business and is kicking his peers’ butts. No amount of money could get him back to college for an advanced degree. If you mentions it, he frowns and grimaces at you like you’re an idiot.
I actually just started reading it, so I can only select from the preface right now.
“Do you know what you call a man who is small, whiny, and useless?”
“Well, that’s not a man at all that you describe. That’s a hippie.”
My fav so far:
“Like, if Middle East Christians tried to blow us up, many of us would know exactly which Bible passage to quote to say, ‘No, Jesus doesn’t like it when you blow people up.’ But when Muslims do it, we’re just not as familiar with the Qur’an to correct them on that. Frankly, they know their religion better than most of us do, so it’s kind of patronizing to tell them, ‘Oh no, your religion is peaceful,’ when they’ve been studying it their entire lives and have come to a different conclusion.”
