That's right, True Believers, it's time for the premiere installment of "Did You Hear What They Said?"

For readers and fans of The Perspective, you will remember that this is the series that shows you what people in the news ARE ACTUALLY SAYING.

Remember, it's not a cease-fire agreement, THEY ACTUALLY SAID IT!

A WORD FROM A FOUNDER

"Happily for America, happily, we trust, for the whole human race,they pursued a new and more noble course. They accomplished arevolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society." -- James Madison (Federalist No. 14, 20 November 1787)

ISRAEL

"When international pressure limits Israel's response to aggression, the terrorists win."--Mark Alexander

SO MUCH FOR UNITY....

"Don't be bamboozled. Don't buy into it." —Sen. Barack Obama on President Bush's speech to the NAACP

EVOLUTION

"There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it." —Will Rogers
 
PUT HER ON THE NEXT PLANE TO MOSCOW

 "[Russian President Vladimir Putin is] the only one of those leaders who goes in there with a commanding popularity among his own people, because he is perceived to be an effective dictator. What we have in this country is a dictator who's ineffective." —Newsweek's Eleanor Clift

FINALLY, THE TRUTH

"In our attempt to make everybody happy, we make nobody happy, "said Democratic activist Janice Griffin. "And we lose elections."

"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent. Right now, I would love to kill George Bush. I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize..." —former Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Betty Williams

NETWORK NEWS DEFINED

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." —H. L. Mencken

"The Western press -- usually so careful to condemn hate speech -- is utterly silent about Arab racism."--Victor Davis Hanson

DEMOCRATS DEFINED

"Democrats won't acknowledge the existence of 'an imminent threat' anyplace in the world until a nuclear missile is 12 minutes from New York. And then we'll never have the satisfaction of saying 'I told you so' because we'll all be dead." —Ann Coulter
 
THE U.N.
"This is a real test for the UN. If it cannot—or will not—distinguish between terrorists who target civilians and a democracy that seeks to stop the terrorism while minimizing civilian casualties, it has become part of the problem, rather than part of the solution." —Alan Dershowitz

SAGE ADVICE

"There is only one hope for pulling black America out of oblivion: Re-instilling a sense of absolutes, of right and wrong, and doing this from the grass roots up, one person at a time. Anyone who thinks there is an alternative is kidding himself."--Star Parker

THIS WEEK'S "BIG PICTURE" AWARD

"Everything our leaders do must be judged by whether it helps or hurts us in defeating terrorists and their state sponsors." —Newt Gingrich

DUDE, YOU NAILED IT!

The left is always quick to argue that it is Bush's failure to reach out with understanding and compassion to the Islamofascists that has got us into this mess.

Why, under the last two Democratic presidents, who had such effective foreign policies, there was no Islamofascist threat.

Well, except for the Iran hostage crisis.

And the first attempt to bring down the World Trade Center with explosives.

 And the 1993 conspiracy to blow up the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels, the George Washington Bridge, and the New York FBI office in lower Manhattan.

And the conspiracy to assassinate former President Bush during his visit to Kuwait.

And the Manila plot to destroy 12 US jumbo airliners in flight.

And the Khobar Towers debacle. And the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya.

And the bombing of the the US embassy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

And the conspiracy to blow up LAX Airport. And the plot to blow up the USS Sullivans in port at Aden, Yemen.

And the bombing of the USS Cole . . . .
